Which Coldplay album was released on 24 October 2011?

Coldplay’s album Mylo Xyloto was released on 24 October 2011. It was the band’s fifth studio album and followed Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, marking another shift toward colorful, electronic, and arena-sized pop-rock.

The album was conceived as a concept record set in a dystopian world shaped by sound, color, and competing groups. Its title is pronounced approximately “MY-lo ZY-loto.” The record includes the singles “Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall,” “Paradise,” “Charlie Brown,” and “Princess of China,” which features Rihanna.

The date can cause confusion because Mylo Xyloto had regional release differences: it appeared in Japan on 19 October 2011 before its 24 October release in many other markets. Therefore, 24 October is the standard worldwide release date used for the quiz. The album debuted at number one in the United Kingdom and several other countries.
