Coldplay awards and nominations

Wins	471
Nominations	999
Note ^ Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

British rock band Coldplay have received numerous industry awards and honorary accolades over the years. They were formed in London in 1997 by vocalist and pianist Chris Martin, guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman, drummer Will Champion and manager Phil Harvey.^[1] Their distinctions at the Brit Awards include the most wins and nominations for a group in British Album of the Year (3 out of 6), British Group (4 out of 10), and the overall ceremony (9 out of 32).
