Add artwork[edit]

The Everyday Life artwork is available on Coldplay’s website and they recently tweeted the artwork itself. Charlesmartin1987 (talk) 19:05, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Personnel[edit]

Shouldn't we wait until the album actually comes out before filling out the personnel? Especially with the specific 'track 10' etc. labels. Solitude6nv5 (talk) 11:03, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Solitude6nv5: Since it'll prevent other editors from constantly inserting incorrect, uncited information in the section, I think this would be for the best. I've gone ahead and hidden the section for now, since you weren't the first to request the section to be removed until release. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · articles · reviews) 08:55, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Double album?[edit]

I know this was rumoured to be a double album, but if it really is only 52 minutes in total and released on a single CD, it can hardly be called a "double album"... more like a single album with two named halves. Richard3120 (talk) 11:28, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's correct. Thanks to Discogs, we all can see that it's released as a single disc. --78.12.241.81 (talk) 09:12, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bani Adam as "Let's go man"[edit]

In what language Bani Adam can mean "Let's go man"? To the best of my knowledge (and I am a native Persian speaker), this is not the case in Persian. And if the song title is inspired by Sadi Shirazi's poem, then no other interpretation really counts, given the very specific meaning of the expression in his work. Beside the fact that the referenced article doesn't look well-documented, I find it irrelevant what the expression might mean in different languages, given that Sadi's work is recited in the song. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 145.108.84.78 (talk) 09:22, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Daddy" and "Champion of the World"[edit]

OK, they were released as an instant grant download when you purchase the album online. But... singles? As far as I know (and thanks to online searching) there are no sources claimed it as official singles. In fact, there are no radio dates or physical releases like "Orphans" (radio) and "Arabesque / Orphans" (7" single). I know there's a video for "Daddy" but video ≠ single. --78.12.241.81 (talk) 09:14, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think they were released along with the album pre-order, so they're not instant grants. There are sources calling these songs "singles": [1][2][3] CountyCountry (talk) 09:26, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

GOD=LOVE Section[edit]

The CD includes 8 songs between the Sunrise and Sunset halves. It's a 30 second field recording of church bells and birds bookended up by 4 seconds of silence per side of the field recording. The whole section is split across 8 tracks, each 4 seconds long (except the 6th, which is 10 seconds.) When putting the CD into a computer, Gracenote CDDB shows these tracks are called "G", "O", "D", "=", "L", "O", "V" and "E". Should be part of the article. I've already popped it in the Notes section but should be in Tracklisting as well as it's on all physical CD pressings globally, at the very least according to Discogs.

The CD (in UK) has 24 tracks, and has CD-Text for the track titles. This section is track numbers 9 to 16. As you say the title of tracks are each one character G O D = L O V E. My CD player supports CD-Text so the track title is displayed as the CD plays. There are no gaps between tracks 9 to 16 so it is one continuous piece. Yes it should be added to the track listing for the CD release (a long list!), also need to check what the LP version has.John a s (talk) 11:27, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Worldwide sales?[edit]

To this date (December 26), according to this Twitter account: https://twitter.com/chartdata/status/1210075266099372032, the album has sold 520k+ copies worldwide... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thebeehive42 (talk • contribs) 19:17, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

BrokEn[edit]

CD track name using CD-Text has the E capitalized. John a s (talk) 01:11, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
