Coldplay was a fixture on mainstream radio stations (I haven't listened to radio for a few years, so I don't know if they still are). This reminds me of the Smashing Pumpkins being classified as alternative, while being possibly the most popular band in the US among the mainstream (I have no idea how popular they were around the world).
