Carpool Karaoke has been a huge hit for James Corden’s Late Late Show, and A-listers are piling up to do it.

Previous guests on the segment have included Adele, One Direction, Justin Bieber and Stevie Wonder, and today Chris Martin got in the passenger seat - the setup being that he is looking for someone to give him a lift to the Super Bowl (Coldplay are playing the halftime show).

Disappointingly the pair mostly sing only Coldplay songs (unlike Adele who busted out Nicki Minaj’s ‘Monster’ verse), crooning to 'Adventure Of A Lifetime,' 'Yellow,' 'Viva La Vida,' 'Fix You,' 'Hymn For The Weekend,' 'Paradise,' and 'A Sky Full Of Stars.'

They do also pay tribute to David Bowie though, giving a blast of his classic track ‘Heroes’.

Coldplay might have been fans of Bowie, but the same can’t be said vice versa.

David once turned down the band’s plea for a collaboration, telling them: “It’s not a very good song, is it?”

Corden’s next guest on Carpool Karaoke will be Sir Elton John.
