Coldplay Changes Mind, Will Stream 'A Head Full of Dreams' on Spotify
Just before Coldplay released A Head Full of Dreams on Friday, Dec. 4, word arrived that, like Adele, the band would keep their new album off Spotify. The record was immediately available on paying-customers-only services like Amazon Prime, Apple Music and Tidal, which is owned by frontman Chris Martin’s buddy Jay Z.
Now it’s been confirmed that Spotify will stream A Head Full of Dreams starting Friday, Dec. 11. The band’s Spotify page promises the same. The singles “Adventure of a Lifetime” and “Everglow” were made available as they were released.
Adele's 25, her first LP in four years, did not launch on any streaming services. It debuted with 3.4 million units sold, the largest week an album’s ever had since Nielsen started tracking this stuff in 1991, bypassing *NSYNC’s record (2.4 million single-week copies of 2000’s No Strings Attached) by a mile. 25 still isn't streaming anywhere.
