About The Song
In the U.S., “Closer” marked the very first No. 1 single for both The Chainsmokers and Halsey on the Billboard Hot 100. It wasn’t just a quick win either—the track held that top spot for 12 straight weeks. According to Billboard, it also became the highest-ranking EDM song on their Decade-End chart for the 2010s.
The success didn’t stop there. With “Closer,” The Chainsmokers became the first act to land four No. 1 hits on the Dance/Electronic Songs chart, beating out Calvin Harris, who previously held the record with three.
Globally, the song dominated too—hitting No. 1 in 17 countries, including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland, and the U.K. It was the first chart-topper in all of those places for both artists.
If that wasn’t enough, “Closer” went on to become the first track ever to spend 26 weeks in the top five of the Billboard Hot 100. It also became only the second song in history to last 32 weeks inside the Hot 100’s top ten.
