Test your knowledge of The Chainsmokers's biggest hits, deep cuts and iconic moments.
Scores are valid for 15 days.
The radio hits that name themselves the moment the sung hook arrives.
The joke that launched them, the guest singers, and the Grammy for a dance hit.
Their run goes from an early club novelty to polished pop, easy hits down to the deep cuts.
The crossover smashes are the gimmes here. 'Closer' with Halsey, 'Something Just Like This' with Coldplay and 'Don't Let Me Down' with Daya are the ones most players name at once, radio-sized pop with a light electronic pulse.
It is not all featured guests. Drew Taggart sings lead on 'Paris' and 'Sick Boy' and shares 'Closer' with Halsey, while Daya fronts 'Don't Let Me Down' and Chris Martin sings 'Something Just Like This', so the voice on a clip can be Drew or a guest.
'#Selfie' from 2014 was a joke club track built on a spoken monologue, and it launched them before the pop pivot. A guess-the-year round uses it to catch players who only know the later hits like 'Paris'.
Their signature move often traded the big-room drop for a softer, sung release. 'Closer' settles into a quiet vocal hook rather than a loud peak, while 'Roses' keeps a recognizable electronic drop built on a chopped-vocal release, a pop turn that still set them apart from festival EDM.
Songtrivia plays a Chainsmokers song for you to identify, then asks trivia on the crossovers, the singers and the early EDM cuts.
Look for 'Closer', 'Something Just Like This', 'Don't Let Me Down', 'Roses' and 'Paris', together with less obvious picks like 'This Feeling' and 'Sick Boy'.
Many singles lean on a different guest singer, so a clip can sound more like Halsey or Coldplay than the duo, though Drew Taggart sings lead on tracks like 'Paris' and 'Sick Boy'. The early EDM cuts also sound nothing like the later ballads.
'Closer' is a duet between Drew Taggart and Halsey, with both trading verses. Working out who sings on a Chainsmokers single is one of the most common quiz questions.
An American duo, Drew Taggart and Alex Pall, who broke out with '#Selfie' in 2014 and pivoted to pop crossovers like 'Closer'.
