Whaccha chattin' bout bruv! Coldplay were insanely huge before X&Y came out! Rush Of Blood To The Head has to the present date sold more worldwide than X&Y (by more than 2 million) and has bettered the performance of X&Y by going 4xPlatinum in the US and 8x in the UK, while the latter has 3 years since its release also done 8x in the UK but only 3x in the US. Parachutes had even sold like 8 million worldwide by 2005. You could probably argue that they were the biggest band in the whole world well before X&Y even came out.
If y'all wanna get ultra depressing, Nickelback's
All The Right Reasons LP sold more than 10 million worldwide. Sigh.
