The Chainsmokers (New York-based djs and producers Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall) got started with the exuberant electro-house of #selfie (2013) and Rookie (2013), followed by the more conventional Roses (2015) and Don't Let me Down (2016), but are important for the history of future bass for the ballad Closer (2016), a duet with Ashley "Halsey" Frangipane co-written by Louis the Child's Frederic Kennett that was one of the biggest hits of the year. The decline, however, was rapid: after Paris (2017) and Something Just Like This (2017) with Coldplay, they quickly disappeared from the charts.

Their albums Memories - Do Not Open (2017), The Chainsmokers (2018) and World War Joy (2019) were all terrible collections of trivial electronic dance-pop.

They returned with So Far So Good (Columbia, 2022) and with the six-song EP No Hard Feelings (Columbia, 2024), which contains the hit Addicted.
