The Chainsmokers, Halsey

Hey, I was doing just fine before I met you
I drink too much and that's an issue, but I'm okay
Hey, you tell your friends it was nice to meet them
But I hope I never see them again

Spotify's own retrospective is part of what's keeping this one circulating. A Spotify Newsroom report from late April marking the platform's 20th anniversary singled out Closer as a fixture of "TGIF" playlist culture — the kind of Friday-night background track that has accumulated plays not through a single peak but through decade-long repetition. That visibility bump coincides with The Chainsmokers being announced as headliners for Modstock '26, pulling catalog attention back toward their mid-2010s run. Closer spent 16 weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 after its July 2016 release and carries a 14× platinum RIAA certification. It appeared during Season 42 of Saturday Night Live, the episode hosted by Louis C.K. The track is broadly charting across 136 country and platform charts today.
