Their following singles are "Roses" and "Don't Let Me Down" which reached the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 while the song "Closer" which features Halsey, became their first number one single on the chart.

We had all listened to their number one song and we pretty much liked it and for sure we've already watched its video that has lyrics on the screen for us to memorize the whole song. But what really killed the song is its "official video".

In this video, Halsey really looked so amazing as usual, and had rocked several  different haircuts fo the said video. The ChainSmokers' Andrew Taggart looks so pretty hot too but let us not forget all the things that he claimed he didn't say on twitter. Well, supposedly, Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall together with Halsey and Lady Gaga were feuding over some not so nice comments from Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall.

Alexander Pall was born in 1985 to an art dealer father and stay-home-mother. He is a French descent and grew up in Westchester County, New York.  Andrew Taggart was born in 1989 to a teacher mother and a father who sold prosthetics.

The Chainsmokers were initially made up of Pall and former DJ Rhett Bixler. The Chainsmokers were formed as an EDM DJ duo in 2012 under the management of Adam Alpert in New York City. Pall, who had grown up DJing, was introduced to Taggart by Alpert, and had been working at an art gallery in Chelsea, Manhattan at the time

The duo's first live performance was opening for Timeflies at Terminal 5 in September 2014. Their single "Selfie", released for free in December 2013, was picked up by Dim Mak Records who re-released it in January 2014 and eventually streamed it to Republic Records.  The duo achieved breakthrough success as the single charted internationally and peaked on the Dance/Electronic Songs chart. Pall has described the song as "life-changing" for the pair.]On August 5, 2014, The Chainsmokers released "Kanye" featuring sirenXX, the follow-up to "#Selfie". Seven months later, they released "Let You Go", featuring the American synthpop group, Great Good Fine Ok.
