Chris Martin Wants Coldplay To Be Karoake Kings Add to My Fav Bands List

Chris Martin says that Coldplay won’t be classed as a success until their songs become popular amongst karaoke fans.

He said: “I’ve been into them and you open the lyrics book and there are a million Beatles songs.

“There’s dozens of ABBA, Culture Club or even Bucks Fizz, but Coldplay? There will be two or at best three. If we could just get eight in every bar worldwide I’d be happy. I would know we’ve made it.”

And Martin believes the bands new album could help them break the karaoke scene.

He told the Sun: “I think there are three karaoke possibilities on Viva La Vida. It surely has to be the ultimate measure of success.”
