The album and tour announcements come hot on the heels of the release of The Chainsmokers' brand new single "Paris." The song, which USA TODAY notes "has all the makings of their next huge hit," immediately shot to the #1 spot on iTunes' Top Songs chart upon release and debuted at #7 on Billboard's Hot 100, marking the duo's fourth track to reach the Top 10 and their highest first week entrance on the chart to date. The song features vocals from Drew himself and serves as the follow up to their previous smash hit "Closer," the biggest #1 song in 2016. The beachy
lyric video for "Paris," directed by Rory Kramer and shot on location at
Casa Malca in Tulum, Mexico, features Instagram model
Alexis Ren and is already approaching 60 Million views.
The Chainsmokers are up for three GRAMMY Awards this year in the Best New Artist, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance ("Closer" Featuring Halsey) and Best Dance Recording ("Don't Let Me Down" Featuring Daya) categories. The GRAMMY Awards will air on Sunday, February 12 at 8/7c on CBS.
