The Chainsmokers Drop First New Music In Three Years, Open Up About Upcoming Album
Two weeks ago, The Chainsmokers took to Instagram to share five simple words that lit a fuse in the music industry: “SORRY, THE CHAINSMOKERS ARE BACK.” It remains to be seen whether that fuse lights a stick of dynamite or the typical groans from petulant haters.
