2017 couldn’t have started better for The Chainsmokers. The release of ‘Paris‘ in January, winning the ‘Best Dance Recording‘ Grammy award for ‘Don’t Let Me Down‘ in February, as well as the surprise release of their collaboration with Coldplay, ‘Something Just Like This‘, just 2 weeks back, has already taken the ‘Closer‘ hit makers to brand new heights.
With March having just begun, The Chainsmokers have yet again asserted their dominance over music awards, sweeping the 2017 iHeartRadio Music Awards, winning a whopping 5 awards. Yes, you read that right. Drew and Alex took home the ‘Best New Artist’, ‘Best New Pop Artist’, ‘Dance Song of the Year’, ‘Dance Artist of the Year’ and ‘Dance Album of the Year’ awards, having been nominated in 10 categories! The other big winners at the iHeartRadio awards included Drake, Rihanna, twenty one pilots among others.
