The Chainsmokers

The Chainsmokers are a DJ/producer duo that since a while now, just can't seem to stop making hits. The hit machine, consisting of Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall first came into the radar with their song "#SELFIE" in 2014. What possibly started off as a joke, turned into a viral sensation which got picked up by Dim Mak Records. And a couple of weeks later they already had a major label deal with Republic Records.

Based out of New York, the duo came together back in 2012. They started off to build a fan following by remixing some popular indie tracks. In 2012, they released a single titled "Erase" with Priyanka Chopra, an Indian actress and singer. But what actually gave them the big break and made them the sensation they are today was "#SELFIE". The video has over 500 million views on YouTube and growing.

They followed up "#SELFIE" with "Kanye". "The song is about what it means to be like Kanye. It's about just owning it no matter what you're doing", Alex Pall told Buzzfeed in an interview, explaining that Kanye should be thought of as an adjective. "Whether you're on top of the world partying in a penthouse or you're driving an old car playing your favorite song, it's about enjoying the moment you're in and feeling like you're the king.”

After that there was seemingly no looking back for the duo. It certainly looked as if they had cracked the formula for the perfect combination of electronic beats and melodic vocals. Some of their biggest hits of 2015 were "Roses" featuring ROZES, "Let You Go" featuring Great Good Fine Ok, "Waterbed" featuring Waterbed. Each release seemed to be doing better than before and made them a sure shot king of the dance music industry. They topped off 2015 with a release with Tiesto called "Split (Only U)" which was an instant hit at the clubs.

Their biggest year probably to date might have been 2016, with 2 very major releases "Closer" featuring Halsey and "Don't Let Me Down" featuring Daya. Both of the songs hit platinum status and were a huge commerical success. In 2017, they released their highly anticipated collaboration with Coldplay titled "Something Just Like This". They released their debut studio album, "Memories...Do Not Open", in April 2017.
