Coldplay scored its fifth number one album on the Billboard rock chart with the release of Everyday Life late last year. The band isn’t touring until they are able to come up with a greener way to do it, but fans will get to see special a performance during a RADIO.COM LIVE event.

Chris Martin and company will set up shop in our new HD Radio Sound Space in Los Angeles on Friday January 17 at 10PM ET / 7PM PT. The show will stream live here on this site and on the RADIO.COM app.

Coldplay has been talking up the first single from Everyday Life, “Orphans,” so our fingers are crossed that they’ll treat fans to that one during the performance. And the band can usually be counted on to revisit their early hits as well when they play live.

Songs from their addictive 2000 debut Parachutes and their spectacular follow-up A Rush of Blood to the Head are never forgotten and have appeared on hundreds of setlists over the years. Here’s a look at the songs Coldplay has played live the most, according to setlist.fm.
