You might have already suspected it, but it's true. Coldplay are the most played British group of the 21st century, at least in the UK - a fact confirmed today by music licensing company PPL. Thought you’d been hearing a lot of the band while getting your highlights done or picking up the houmous? Now you know why.
PPL licenses the use of recorded music on radio and TV and therefore out in the real world in shops, workplaces, public spaces and more all across the UK. All media outlets playing music have to report to the PPL what they played, allowing the service to build a unique picture of what media outlets think that we want to hear (if not our actual favourite bands).
