Coldplay Sneaks Their New Album's Tracklist Into A Newspaper's Classified Section

The tracklist for Coldplay's recently reported album Everyday Life is out right now – however not in the way that you would probably expect. The legendary musical group perplexing their forthcoming LP in the classified sections of local newspapers in the UK and France in an epic hooray for journalism. Imagine starting up a periodical with a fresh cup of pulpy orange juice to look for a part-time gig only to be able to see Coldplay revealing sixteen new songs. You could knock over that cup onto the floor and scream several expletives because someone's going to have to tidy that up.


Coldplay's reveal caught each person off guard. They first took made the announcement in Wales' Daily Post yesterday (October 23) before following up with similar ads in newspapers like Australia’s Sydney Morning Herald, France's Le Monde, and New Zealand's Otago Day-to-day Times. They're still popping up all over the place.


In case you thought it was some sort of intricate hoax, the musical group confirmed it was real on Twitter with a tweet signed by lead guitarist Jonny Buckland who grew up in Wales. "I once had a holiday job at the Day-to-day Post, placing pictures of houses for sale. I wasn't very good at it. JB," it reads.


Coldplay's rollout for Everyday Life has been especially interesting for now. For starters, they announced it through letters sent to fans, revealing that they worked on it for "100 years." Unless there's time travel involved, we rather doubt this to be serious. Nevertheless then again, the musical group posted a mysterious picture on Instagram, that's also popping up in metro stations around the world, which seemingly shows the band's members in an old-timey setting. As we get closer to the LP's November 22 release date, there's no telling what other stops that Coldplay will pull. Could they stream the LP live from the surface of the moon?
