The Chainsmokers

The Chainsmokers have pulled off the nearly impossible: parlaying a song that seemed at best a catchy one-hit wonder and at worst mere fodder for a viral Vine meme into international megastardom. The DJ duo hit the internet with 2014’s “#Selfie”—the YouTube vid has amassed nearly 500 million views—and instead of fading into obscurity, they turned their brand of bro-EDM into a commodity that has launched them to the top of the Billboard charts and the bills of huge tours. Club-dominating singles like “Closer” are marked by infectious hooks and singalong choruses that you’ll succumb to whether you like it or not, so get addicted when the Chainsmokers play the House of Blues on Dec. 5. 21+.
