Data Insight
Andrew Taggart is the authorship engine of the debut: he sings lead and co-writes every track, while Alex Pall works the production side. The writing is heavily collaborative, with outside writers like Emily Warren and Swedish teams on most songs, and the Coldplay collaboration "Something Just Like This" credits all four members of that band alongside Taggart. It is a co-written pop record rather than a solo-authored one.
The Chainsmokers' debut studio album, released April 7, 2017 on Disruptor and Columbia Records. Built around their breakthrough singles, the album features collaborations with Coldplay ('Something Just Like This'), Jhené Aiko, Florida Georgia Line, Emily Warren, and Louane. DJ Swivel handled vocal production across most tracks. The Japanese edition included bonus tracks 'Closer', 'Don't Let Me Down', and 'Roses', previously released singles not part of the standard 12-track edition.
