Chris Martin of Coldplay performs during the Pepsi Super Bowl 50 Halftime Show at Levi's Stadium on Feb. 7, 2016 in Santa Clara, Calif.
Current single "Adventure of a Lifetime" leads the band's haul at No. 2, followed by 2008's "Viva La Vida" at No. 4.
Following its Super Bowl 50 halftime show performance Feb. 7, headliner Coldplaycharts 13 titles on Billboard's Hot Rock Songs ranking (dated Feb. 27), including five debuts and five re-entries.
Current single "Adventure of a Lifetime" lifts 3-2 and wins top digital and streaming gainer honors, bounding by 162 percent in sales (to 74,000) and 75 percent in U.S. streams (to 6.3 million), according to Nielsen Music. Both its sales and streaming sums are new weekly highs. On the Billboard Hot 100, "Lifetime" leaps 36-13, reaching a new best rank, and becomes Coldplay's seventh top 15 Hot 100 hit.
Meanwhile, "Viva La Vida," which opened the Beyonce- and Bruno Mars-assisted halftime show set, is the Hot Shot Debut (for highest new entry) on Hot Rock Songs, bowing at No. 4. (The song makes its maiden voyage on the chart since its original 2008 release preceded the list's June 2009 inception.)
