The Chainsmokers Trivia: From Novelty to Number One
The joke that launched them, the guest singers, and the Grammy for a dance hit.
How Well Do You Know The Chainsmokers' Hooks
Their run goes from an early club novelty to polished pop, easy hits down to the deep cuts.
The crossover hits that top every playlist
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.
Who actually sings: Drew Taggart and the guests
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.
Before the ballads: the #Selfie novelty
'#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'.
When the drop became a sung hook
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.
