Apparently not a fan of Spotify's free listening tier, the band will still stream their new record on paid-only subscription services like Tidal and Apple Music.

AceShowbiz - Don't expect to find Coldplay's new album on Spotify when it's officially released later this week. According to a new report by The Wall Street Journal, the group won't immediately make "A Head Full of Dreams" available for streaming on the service due to its free listening tier.
However, it's very likely that the album will pop up on Spotify in the future, just like Colplay's previous releases like "Ghost Stories" and "Mylo Xyloto". Meanwhile, paid-only subscription services like Tidal and Apple Music are expected to stream the British group's seventh studio installment right after it comes out this Friday, December 4.
Coldplay is hardly the only act that has decided to keep his album off Spotify. Adele recently took a similar approach with her latest effort "25". Last year, Taylor Swift removed her entire catalog from the service as she took issue with Spotify's unfair pay to artists.
The news came on the same day Coldplay was officially announced as a headliner for the Super Bowl 50 halftime show. "Viva! It's official: @Coldplay will be performing at the @Pepsi @SuperBowl 50 Halftime Show! #PepsiHalftime," the NFL wrote alongside a picture of the quartet.
