The EDM duo currently has three, count ’em, three songs in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100: the Coldplay collabo “Something Like This,” plus “Paris” and “Closer.” They’re only the third group ever to have three songs in the top 10 at the same time. The Beatles did it in 1964, spending 10 weeks with at least three and as many as five songs in the top 10. The Bee Gees did it in 1978 with three songs from their massive Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.
Among all artists — solo and groups — The Chainsmokers are the 14th to pull this off. The last person who did this was Justin Bieber, who had three songs in the top 10 for 10 weeks from December of 2015 to February of 2016.
“Something Like This” is Coldplay’s first top 10 hit since 2014’s “A Sky Full of Stars.”
