“I can’t wait until you hear the full album,” ILLENIUM tells Billboard. Plus, moves for Alok, Sofi Tukker, INNA & ARTY.
ILLENIUM, Valerie Broussard and Nurko notch the leading debut on Billboard’s multi-metric Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart (dated May 22) with “Sideways” at No. 10. The collaboration earns ILLENIUM his sixth top 10, while Broussard adds her second and Nurko, his first.
“As an artist, my goal has always been to make music that anyone can relate to,” ILLENIUM tells Billboard. “I’m stoked that we’ve hit the top 10, this time with ‘Sideways,’ and I can’t wait until you hear the full album [Fallen Embers, set for release July 16]. A huge thanks to everyone working tirelessly to make sure my music is heard, and of course to all ILLENIALs around the world who make this whole journey possible.”
ILLENIUM’s five other top 10 titles are “Takeaway,” with The Chainsmokers and featuring Lennon Stella (No. 3, August 2019); “Good Things Fall Apart,” with Jon Bellion (No. 3, September 2019); “Feel Something,” with Excision and I Prevail (No. 8, April 2020); “Nightlight” (No. 8, October 2020); and “Paper Thin,” with Tom DeLonge and Angels & Airwaves (No. 10, November 2020).
