My favorite group or band IS 'Coldplay' ...

BUT ...

word GROUP can be used both as singular and plural ...- this is very British and I would not expect to see it in American English ...

 Group as a collective noun can be followed by a singular or plural verb. It takes asingular verb when the persons or things that make up the group are considered collectively:The dance group is ready for rehearsal. Group takes a plural verb when the persons or thingsthat constitute it are considered individually: The group were divided in their sympathies.
