Why it's here

"Viva La Vida" won Song Of The Year and Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group at the 51st Grammy Awards on Feb. 8, 2009, and remains Coldplay's only Song Of The Year winner. [1] Coldplay have kept the song in rotation on the Music of the Spheres World Tour, which the band said in September 2025 would carry on past its Wembley Stadium residency with roughly "138 more shows to go" into 2026 and 2027. [2] That continuation was routed as 34 stadium dates across 18 countries between June 2026 and February 2027, placing the band mid-leg in August 2026. [3]

In culture

Every place this record has lived. A solid chip states a fact and carries the citation that earns it; a dashed one is a connection somebody drew, and carries their name instead.

Worldwide feeds · not markets

A source's own worldwide chart. These are feeds, not places, so they are kept out of the market count above.

City pickups

City charts record their parent country as the market, so these do not add to the market count above. One line per country: how many of its rooms picked the song up, and the best of them.
