When the song reached the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, Coldplay became the first British male group to score a second Top 10 hit in America in 17 years, having previously reached No. 8 with “Speed Of Sound” in 2005. When the song climbed to No. 1 on the Hot 100, with Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl” at No. 2, Capitol held the top two positions on the American chart for the first time in more than 40 years. The previous such instance had been in September 1967, with Bobbie Gentry’s “Ode To Billie Joe” at No. 1 and The Beatles’ “All You Need Is Love” at No. 2. At the same time, Coldplay became the first British group to reach No. 1 on the Hot 100 in more than ten years, since the Spice Girls had topped it with “Wannabe” in 1997
