A Head Full of Dreams

A Head Full of Dreams is the seventh studio album by British rock band Coldplay. It was released on 4 December 2015 by Parlophone in the United Kingdom and by Atlantic in the United States. Coldplay began recording the album shortly after the completion of Ghost Stories, which had a markedly different style and sound from its predecessors. The band collaborated with Rik Simpson and Stargate to produce the songs. Features include Beyoncé, Noel Gallagher, Tove Lo and Merry Clayton.

A Head Full of Dreams received generally mixed reviews from critics. However, it was a commercial success. The album topped the UK Albums Chart and peaked at number two in the United States, Australia, Canada, and Italy, where it was held off the top spot by Adele's 25. At the 2016 Brit Awards the album was nominated for British Album of the Year.

According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), it was the eighth-best-selling album of 2015, as well as the ninth-best-selling of 2016. The album has sold more than six million copies as of June 2018. It was supported by five singles: "Adventure of a Lifetime", "Hymn for the Weekend", "Up&Up", the title track, and "Everglow". A 5.1 Surround Blu-ray Audio version of the album was released via the band's website on 23 September 2016.

The album was promoted by the successful A Head Full of Dreams Tour, that lasted nearly two years. The following year after the tour's conclusion, the band released Live in Buenos Aires, which was recorded on the final two nights of the tour in La Plata, Buenos Aires. A concert film and a documentary were also included in a deluxe edition of the CD. A second live album entitled Love In Tokyo was also released as a Japanese exclusive album which featured recordings from multiple legs of the tour.
