SUB: Coldplay at Super Bowl
Dear Denise Warner,
I have been reading the articles published on Billboard about Coldplay and many other singers. I appreciate the way Billboard is always updated and the posts cover interesting news.
Since the several articles Billboard writes about music, and the different sections that are on your website, I would like to ask you to write about Coldplay’s show at the Super Bowl 50. The article could be published either in the news or in the rock section.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Best regards,
Diana Nicole Caldara

According to Rolling Stone, Coldplay's 2014 album Ghost Stories was “a surprisingly dark and muted set released .And A Head Full of Dreams might be Coldplay's brightest album ever”.
According to The Guardian Coldplay’s album Ghost Stories was “a sombre affair dealing with the fallout from Chris Martin’s conscious uncoupling. A Head Full of Dreams, by contrast, splats the band in primary hues, accentuating the positive with dance moves”.
According to NME “X&Y was as complacent as Rattle & Hum, Viva La Vida was as seminal as
'Achtung Baby'. Neatly, we can call 'Prospekt's March' their 'Zooropa', while 'Mylo Xyloto' was
'Pop' from every angle, all shrill, disjointed highs, little triangles of bunting in search of a thread.
That puts 'Ghost Stories' alongside 'All That You Can't Leave Behind'. A return to core principles.
Next thing, Martin will be buying his hat first class tickets around the world”.
The Times includes the Coldplay in the first 500 most influential artists in Britain, according to the share and views they get on social networks. Bio/background information sheet
