Download Coldplay album Parachutes: Coldplay's debut album
Coldplay have been emerged as one of the most popular rock bands in the world, with eight studio albums: from Parachutes (2000) to the most recent Everyday Life (2019).
Parachutes is the band's debut studio album released on July 10, 2000. The album comprises four major chart-hitters: "Shiver", "Don't Panic", "Trouble", and most famously "Yellow".
The production of their debut album took place between 1998 to 1999. During the album's production, the band's drummer Will Champion nearly departed from the band because of the errors during the album's recording.
"Yellow" became Coldplay's first ever number one hit in the UK. The album Parachutes won Album Of The Year at the 2001 BRIT Awards.
The album is highly dedicated to drummer Will Champion's mother Sara, who died of cancer a month before the album's release.
