The song went on to become the first song to spend 26 weeks in the top five of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Outside of the United States, 'Closer' topped the charts in more than ten countries including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland and the United Kingdom, making it both the Chainsmokers' and Halsey's first number-one single in all six countries. The Chainsmokers became the first act to have four songs ('Closer' being the fourth) that top the Dance/Electronic Songs chart, passing Calvin Harris, who held the previous record with three. The song stayed at the top spot for 12 consecutive weeks. In the United States, 'Closer' became both the Chainsmokers' and Halsey's first number one single on the Billboard Hot 100. Musically, it is a future bass and pop song with a 'retro' style synthesizer in the chorus.

The song was written by Taggart, Halsey, Shaun Frank, Freddy Kennett, Isaac Slade and Joe King, while the production was handled by the Chainsmokers.

It was released on July 29, 2016, through Disruptor Records and Columbia Records. Andrew Taggart (one half of the Chainsmokers) also provides his vocals in the song. The vibe of the 'Closer' music video very much reflects this.'Closer' is a song by American DJ duo the Chainsmokers featuring American singer Halsey. This makes sense because Jordan and Alyssa spent much of their relationship filming absurdly gorgeous vlogs that showed off their lavish, extravagant, and alluring lifestyle. In many respects, one of the most popular music videos of all time is somebody's vlog. Of course, his girlfriend was asked to be the lead in the video alongside him and even their apartment was included. Not only that but an entire segment of his life was the star of 'Closer'. While he wasn't hired to direct the music video (that credit goes to Rory Kramer and Dano Cerny), Jordan was asked to be featured in it. This is because Jordan (the man co-starring in the 'Closer' music video) is a famous videographer who has done work with Justin Bieber as well as The Chainsmokers. But, in truth, Alyssa owes her major career break to her ex-boyfriend, Jordan Taylor Wright. The Chainsmokers went for a gorgeous Canadian actor in Alyssa Lynch for their music video. The Star Of The Chainsmokers 'Closer' Music Video Is Alyssa Lynch Here's who that girl is and what actually happened to her. Most importantly, the girl from the video (who was easily the focus) has seemingly vanished into obscurity. And yet with all the views and attention, we still don't really know who the stars of the video are. The video, which featured an extremely good-looking couple driving down the California coast became an instant hit. There's no doubt that the number exceeds that on non-official YouTube accounts as well as other venues. Then there was the music video.Īs of this writing, the music video for 'Closer' sits at over 2.7 billion. While this isn't a huge accomplishment, there's no doubt that it speaks to just how popular this song was at the time. Since 2016, it has gone on to earn a diamond certification from the RIAA and is also seen as one of the most overplayed songs of all time. At the time, it was also the only EDM song that made it to the top of The Billboard Hot 100 list.

Not only did 'Closer' become their first number-one single on The Billboard Hot 100 but it also helped to launch the incredible, and somewhat surprising, the career of Halsey, who was featured on the song.

But they do know that they had one of the biggest songs (if not THE biggest) of 2016. They may not even know if The Chainsmokers are even still together. This includes just how big their net worth really is. There are many things that fans don't know about The Chainsmokers.
