it's been 24 years since coldplay dropped their classic sophomore album, 'a rush of blood to the head'. the british band managed to avoid the dreaded sophomore slump, as the album quickly became a critical and commercial success, giving us timeless hits like "the scientist" and "clocks", which are still staples of coldplay's setlist today as they sell out stadiums around the world. 🔬⏰

considered by many to be coldplay's best work, the list of accolades and awards for 'a rush of blood to the head' is quite long, and includes:

- 3x grammys, including best rock album and record of the year for "clocks"
- 12x platinum in the uk
- 4x platinum in the us
- #65 on the rock and roll hall of fame's definitive 200 albums of all time
- cover art was selected to be commemorated on a uk postage stamp
