About
As of 2026, it's 18 years old.
Viva la Vida marked Coldplay's most ambitious reinvention, working with producer Brian Eno to swap their stadium-ballad comfort zone for something more textured, orchestral, and experimental. The title track — all soaring strings, church bells, and 'I used to rule the world' grandeur — became their first U.S. number one.
Bold and expansive, the album won a Grammy and proved one of the world's biggest bands was willing to take real risks.
Grand, experimental, and triumphant, Viva la Vida is the album where Coldplay reinvented themselves and made one of their most beloved anthems.
