How many Grammy Awards has Coldplay won?

The story behind the answer

Coldplay has won seven Grammy Awards.

The band earned its first Grammy at the 44th Grammy Awards in 2002, when Parachutes won Best Alternative Music Album. Their wins have covered album, song, record, and performance categories, reflecting Coldplay’s movement from alternative rock toward a broader pop-rock sound.

Among the best-known victories is Record of the Year for “Clocks” at the 46th Grammy Awards in 2004. In 2009, “Viva la Vida” brought two more wins: Song of the Year and Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. Coldplay’s Grammy total is sometimes confused with its much larger number of nominations or with the many other awards the band has received.

The seven-win figure refers to Grammy Awards won by Coldplay as a band, not every Grammy associated with individual members or collaborators. The Recording Academy’s artist history and Coldplay’s awards summaries both identify seven wins.
