Parachutes is the debut album by English rock band Coldplay, released on July 10, 2000. It quickly shot to number one in the United Kingdom, and stayed in the top ten for thirty-three weeks. The album produced four singles: "Shiver", "Yellow", "Trouble", and "Don't Panic" (the last of these, however, was not released in the U.K.). In the United States, the album reached fifty-one on the Billboard 200.

The album is recognized to have an alternative rock sound similar to fellow alt-rock band Radiohead from their The Bends-OK Computer era. In fact, it has been suggested that the album's success was due to a portion of Radiohead's audience being alienated by the band's experimental and more electronic-influenced Kid A album, which was released in October of the same year and leaked to the internet 3 months prior.
