The Chainsmokers And Halsey Knock Sia Off The Top Of The Singles Chart
For the past two years, dance duo The Chainsmokers have been getting closer and closer to topping the Billboard Hot 100, and all it took was releasing a song called, um, “Closer” for them to finally do so.
The New York pair’s breakthrough hit, “#Selfie,” landed at #16 on the main singles chart. Following that, their 2015 ROZES collab, “Roses,” climbed to #6, while the Daya-featuring “Don’t Let Me Down” recently made it to #3. With the latter song still in the Top 10, the Chainsmokers have now bumped Sia and Sean Paul‘s “Cheap Thrills.” off the #1 position with “Closer.”
The song also marks the first chart-topping single for featured vocalist Halsey, whose previous appearances on the Hot 100 came with “New Americana” (#60) and Justin Bieber‘s Purpose track “The Feeling” (#31), which the 21-year-old singer also lent her voice too.
“Closer” is now the 10th single to top the US chart in 2016. And on a total side note, we totally savaged the song upon our Pop Perspective review of it a month ago. Ain’t that a kick in the shorts?
Oh, well — what the hell do we know?
