Released in 2002, it packed the hit song “Clocks,” which launched the group into super-stardom. Their third and fourth albums also featured very popular singles, including “Viva La Vida” and “Fix You.”
‘Mylo Xyloto’ is set to release in October, and according to Chris Martin, it is a concept album featuring a love story. The group released the album’s track listing on their website on September 9th. Two songs from the album have already been released as singles.
