Spotify is once again bringing together record-breaking legends from the worlds of music and football through its first-of-its-kind partnership with FC Barcelona. This time, FC Barcelona’s shirt will feature the logo of Coldplay, inspired by their 10th album Moon Music, released October 4th and\u00a0debuted at number 1 on Spotify\u2019s weekly global charts.<\/p>\n
This month, Coldplay<\/a> has also made history by breaking the record for the most songs, by one group, to surpass a billion streams on Spotify.\u00a0To honor this accomplishment, Spotify featuring Coldplay on the FC Barcelona shirt swap is a nod to their track “Viva la Vida<\/a>,” one of Barca\u2019s unofficial anthems during the 2008-2009 season.<\/p>\n As of Wednesday, October 16th, Coldplay\u2019s 2002 hit \u201cClocks<\/a>\u201d became the 12th song from the band\u2019s discography to receive the streaming honor. Other songs in Coldplay\u2019s discography holding the Billions Club record include \u201cYellow<\/a>,\u201d \u201cA Sky Full of Stars<\/a>,\u201d and \u201cSparks<\/a>\u201d to name a few.<\/p>\n Like FC Barcelona, Coldplay brings together fans from across the world. This moment celebrates the unity of humanity and the joy felt in shared experiences – whether that be a football match or music concert. As an example of how the band unites people from across the world, the Moon Music logo that will feature on the FC Barcelona shirt was inspired by a design from a Coldplay fan.<\/p>\n The shirt will be worn for the El Cl\u00e1sico match when FC Barcelona take on Real Madrid on Oct 26th. Also wearing the shirt will be FC Barcelona Femen\u00ed in their Liga F match against Eibar on Nov 2.<\/p>\n FC Barcelona will also share a special edition of the popular Bar\u00e7a Matchday playlist<\/a> on Spotify featuring themed songs to motivate the players and fans in the build up to the game, which was curated by Coldplay.<\/p>\n Coldplay said: \u201cWe\u2019re honoured that Spotify has chosen to feature our Moon Music design on the shirt of FC Barcelona. We\u2019ve had a special relationship with the city and the club for many years.\u00a0 We\u2019re also proud to support the UNHCR in their life-saving work to protect refugees and displaced people around the world.\u00a0 Heartfelt thanks to Spotify and FC Barcelona for making this happen.\u201d<\/p>\n Speaking about the partnership, Marc Hazan, Vice President – Partnerships and Marketing, Spotify said: \u201cColdplay is one of the most beloved bands in the world on Spotify, and their storied connection to Bar\u00e7a runs deep. We are thrilled to celebrate that history with fans worldwide through the iconic Bar\u00e7a jersey. The release of Moon Music is a perfect moment to celebrate the power of football and music\u2019s ability to bring people together.\u201d<\/p>\n \u200b\u200bJuli Guiu, VP Marketing, FC Barcelona said: \u201cWe are delighted that through our partnership with Spotify, that Coldplay will feature on the FC Barcelona shirt for El Cl\u00e1sico. The band and the club have a mutual love which stretches back many years from the band visiting training sessions, to Bar\u00e7a players watching Coldplay live in Barcelona over the years, to the band\u2019s music soundtracking some of the club\u2019s best moments.\u201d<\/p>\n The partnership between Bar\u00e7a and Spotify is a first-of-its-kind \u2013 you can read more about the partnerships here<\/a> and check out the FC Barcelona hub on Spotify<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Spotify is once again bringing together record-breaking legends from the worlds of music and football through its first-of-its-kind partnership with FC Barcelona.
