The set list of the “Music of the Spheres World Tour” received lots of recognition amidst the tour because of the amazing acts it portrays. The acts which include – Planets, Moons, Stars and Home – gave people a better understanding of what Coldplay’s 8th career tour is all about.
The songs categorised in these acts, even though picked from different albums of the British band and released years apart, all fit perfectly, making each concert in the tour a galactic journey, with 1 act connecting to the next.
Some of these songs were past hits of Coldplay, but they’ve received more streams and plays because of their position in the setlist of the “Music of the Spheres World Tour,” making them a timeless hit.
At the moment, Coldplay is still on break, with plans to resume the tour in Portugal, this June. When they resume, it will mark the beginning of the last lap of the “Music of the Spheres World Tour.” From experience, this entails that the remaining cities in the schedule will experience a more entertaining Coldplay.

In the meantime, we will be looking at 10 songs from the “Music of the Spheres World Tour Setlist” that gained more popularity because of the tour. No. 1 will surprise you.
10. “Higher Power”
“Higher Power” was released by Coldplay in 2021 through the “Music of the Spheres” album. The album is known as the major associated album of the “Music of the Spheres World Tour,” even though it has been clear now that the tour is not completely based on it alone.
During the year Coldplay released “Higher Power,” the world was still in shock by COVID-19, but the song received major recognition regardless and reached No.1 in 1 week on Czech’s radio top 100 songs, beating 99 others.
Fast forward to this year, “Higher Power” is listed as one of the Coldplay songs that have received more plays and streams online, and the reason for this is because of Coldplay’s performance of the song in their live performances amidst the “Music of the Spheres World Tour.”
9. “Let Somebody Go”
“Let Somebody Go” is one of the best songs on the “Music of the Spheres” album, and the reason is because a lot of people relate to it, one way or the other. Coldplay reportedly started recording “Let Somebody Go” in 2019, and completed it in 2021, before the release of their 9th studio album.
After its release, the song received some major nominations in 2022 and 2023 respectively but won none. However, as more Coldplayers tend to enjoy Coldplay’s live performance of the song, it has started receiving major traffic online. If the charts were to be reset, “Let Somebody Go” might top it in major countries that Coldplay has taken their tour to.
8. “People of the Pride”
On the “Music of the Spheres World Tour” setlist, “People of the Pride” is categorized under the Stars Act that comes after Planets and Moons. It is the 7th track on Coldplay’s “Music of the Spheres” album and is listed as the 16th song that Coldplay performs each night in their concerts.
Upon release, the song did not receive major plays like the other songs in the album. Its video was posted by Coldplay on their official YouTube channel, and it currently has 6.2 million views, with the lyrics video having 3.3 million views.
The majority of the views “People of the Pride” now has on YouTube was gotten amidst the “Music of the Spheres World Tour,” because when Coldplay performed it live, people couldn’t get enough of it, so they opted to re-watch it on YouTube.
7. “Humankind”
“Humankind” was also released through the “Music of the Spheres” album, and is the 25th song on Coldplay’s setlist. The song is categorised under the act, Home, which is the last act to be performed in Coldplay’s concert.
Coldplay did not post the official music video of “Humankind” on their YouTube, until 1 year ago during the 2023 leg of the “Music of the Spheres World Tour.”
“Humankind” currently has 11 million views on YouTube, and the reason for this traffic is Coldplay’s performance of the song during their concerts.
6. “Something Just Like This”
You know, we’ve been reading books of old, but have yet to find a British band with amazing stats like Coldplay. They managed to minimize their CO2 emission by 50%, amidst one of the greatest tours in the world, and it still is one of the most entertaining events to attend in this century.
“Something Just Like This” also received its fair share of glory from “Music of the Spheres World Tour.” The global hit was released in 2017 by Coldplay and Chainsmoker and it immediately became a universal anthem.
Even though “Something Just Like This” was already a global hit from day one, the song received some traffic because of its position in the “Music of the Spheres World Tour” setlist.
5. “Adventure of a Lifetime”
“Adventure of a Lifetime” was released by Coldplay through their 7th album, “A Head Full of Dreams” in 2015.

It also topped the chart in Israel, and US respectively, all within 1 week of its release. “Adventure of a Lifetime” is categorized under the opening act of Coldplay’s setlist, planets. And it received lots of traffic as well amidst the tour. Perhaps Coldplay opened the eyes of their fans even more with its categorization in the setlist.
4. “Paradise”
“Paradise” followed “Adventure of a Lifetime” closely behind on the setlist of the “Music of the Spheres World Tour” and it also falls behind “Adventure of a Lifetime” in this list.
It was released in 2011, through Coldplay’s 5th studio album, “Mylo Xyloto.” Even though Coldplay toured the world with “Mylo Xyloto” being an associated album, “Paradise” received more attention in their current tour than before, making it gain more popularity.
3. “A Sky Full of Stars”
“A Sky Full of Stars” is the No.22 song on the “Music of the Spheres” world tour setlist, and was released by Coldplay in 2014, through their 6th studio album, “Ghost Stories.”
“A Sky Full of Stars” is one of the songs that Coldplay performs in their concerts and sets the atmosphere to sync with their performance. For instance, the way the stadium tends to light up with starry light anytime Coldplay performs “A Sky Full of Stars.” Additionally, the song is categorized under the “Stars” act of Coldplay’s setlist, giving it a pristine meaning.
2. “Fix You”
After its release in 2005, “Fix You” did not reach No.1 on any charts, both in Europe and America. The song however maintained its position in the top 3 in some countries, and top 10 in some others within 1 week of release.
“Fix You” currently has 632 million views on YouTube. For a song that barely maintained its position in the charts when it was released, this is a complete turnout of events. The “Music of the Spheres World Tour” can be accoladed for increasing its popularity.
1. “My Universe”
“My Universe” is globally recognized as the Coldplay song that broke the known barrier to entertainment. Coldplay went above and beyond to make “My Universe” become a global sensation, and they did this with BTS who occasionally appeared as holograms in some of their performances.
It’s unarguable that “My Universe” immediately became a popular hit when it was released, but its position in the “Music of the Spheres World Tour” setlist also added to its popularity as it is.
