I personally hate that it's being released. It shoudl've stayed an album gem but since they're most likely performing the song at the Brits with Rihanna. I can see why they're trying take advantage of it. I just wanted a video.

Their label wants that AI. Ughhhh it sucks since Charlie Brown was just released. I knew it was too early or too late. Very disappointed right now.

Princess of China is amazing and will be huge

It'll be great for album sales and even reach new fans. Still plenty of time to release Charlie brown later on.

The problem is that it was already released last week and that's a mess.

not really

similar thing happened with Adele last year when her Brits performance made SLY totally overshadow the release of SFTTR. But SFTTR still had its day.

wait?! so POC and Charlie Brown are both released as singles at the same time

But Adele released the songs early in the UK. She released Someone Like You in April while released Set Fire to the Rain in July. That's a 3 month interval and Set Fire already peaked in the UK. They are filming music videos for the Worldwide market. Set Fire to the Rain was released in the US just last November and SLY was released in July. It wont coincide with its releases unlike Charlie Brown and Princess of China that were released 1 month apart.

Nope but just 1 month apart. Princess of China isn't confirmed yet tho. But it would be a total mess if it was released on February since Coldplay will release the music video for Charlie Brown on Feb as well.

SLY was rush released due to public demand after her 2011 Brit performance last february. It leaped to no1 in the UK via digital sales after that. But it was SFTTR that was actually due to be released as the 2nd single as it was in parts of Europe. In fact SFTTR clocks up its 52nd week in the UK charts this week.

But the release dates all got messy as they do these days. Yes SFTTR was officially released in July but it had been in the UK charts for several months already.

Point is, certain tracks can overshadow each other at certain times but they can still have their day eventually.

I really hope your right. I will be very disappointed if Charlie Brown will not be released properly.

I'm afraid this might happen to CB too

Viva La Vida has 92 million views on youtube , so close to 100,000,000 hopefully in 2 months?

I hope so. Probably. Amazing video deserves more views

Ohh and rumors have it that Charlie Brown & Princess of China will be released at the same time in different markets. Charlie Brown for the UK and Princess of China in the US. Great idea tbh.

Coldplay filming Charlie Brown

Day one on set and myself Cole Armitage and Scott Young head down to london to start filming on cold play’s new music video Charlie Brown! Soon after arriving at base camp we get covered in paint!


The set was a abandoned church we arrived on location to find a rave being filmed there were about 50 dancers dancers coved in luminous paint raving it up!

After a quick tour of the set we found out we were going to be doing our thing on two scaffolding towers on each side of the church



We spent the next hour or so working with the riggers to set up the scaffolding how we wanted it and working out some choreography for the filming.

Then we waited, an hour passed,

then three hours passed, and still we hadn’t done anything except watching the dancers rave!





To pass the time we ended up training our one handed handstands (Cole just won that challenge)

Finally we were called for! and they filmed us swinging around on the scaffolding for a bit, then we were told to go relax again a few more hours passed!



The lead singer Chris introduced himself to us and we ended up chatting for a few minutes, he’s such a safe dude!

Then I was asked if they could use my Go Pro (HD Hero) to film a few shots for the video, so they strapped my camera onto the end of Chris’s (the lead singer) guitar and started filming!

the shots came out great we will have to wait and see if the use them in the final video.

Thats a wrap!!!

We were done for the day, arrived at 11am finished at about 10pm and we only did a few minutes worth of filming! thats how it goes in this business sometimes.

What will tomorrow bring?

Shooting Day 2

Day two and a new location, they want to film some freerunning! so we are taken to the roof of a tower block, the first thing they wanted to film was a gap jump 14 stories up!

Unfortunately they wouldn’t allow us to do the jump without the harness and safety line, Cole was chosen for the job so had to squeeze into the harness, it was funny watching him with all those safety wires for such a small jump!

Cole Armitage getting the harness set up setting up for the jump safety first!roof gap that cole jumped cole ready to jump Cole Armitage jumping
Safety First!



wire rig setup for coles jump

We were filming that for an hour or so (it was going to be a long day) then Scott and I were both asked to go out around the area and film some parkour! So out we went, we were out for a good few hours scouting out good locations and filming sequences. (It was really good fun)

Meanwhile Cole was filming another shot in the tower block this time he had to jump out the 13th window onto a rig that had been built for him! sounds cool tho Unfortunately i wasn’t around to get any photo’s of the filming.

As the light started to fade we broke for lunch

Now we were into the night shoot and the Bmx’s were doing some filming! some crazy tricks I’m sure! we watched them warming up with some wicked moves.

After lunch Cole was back on set filming a few more sequences including tagging a wall! haha and I’ve got photographic evidence!

cole's tagging

(No fear it’s washable paint so was cleaned off soon after! Good as new)

Then the final location the skate park (finally my go at being in front of the camera! ha) Cole and I filmed the last few sequences together running, jumping, vaulting and flipping our way through the skate park. It was a great location I’m sure we captured some great shots.

Thats a wrap!

The last sequence was filmed we were done! Now we’ve just got to wait and see the final video of Coldplay’s “Charlie Brown” It should be out soon, Look out for me and cole!

As a final note; I met some great people over the last two days on set we were like a little family.

Thats the best thing about this kinda work you always meet amazing people on your journey,

who knows what I’ll end up doing next!

One Love

I've been a longtime Coldplay fan, but I feel like MX is sort of lacking compared to their past albums. It's not horrible (I do like a few songs), but I think their past albums were more cohesive and overall more musically impressive. I do love Paradise though; I think it's an absolute masterpiece. However, my favorite album by them remains A Rush of Blood to the Head by far.

Yep. Mylo Xyloto is not their best work. My fave is their debut.. Parachutes. Rush is amazing too. Actually every album is amazing its just that they are amazing in different reasons

[BadBitch]

Setlist from Jimmy Kimmel:
Charlie Brown
Paradise
Mylo Xyloto
Hurts Like Heaven
Viva la Vida
The Scientist
Every Teardrop is a Waterfall
Charlie Brown and Paradise were filmed for broadcast in a few weeks. Other songs were audience-only.
