- Levels - Avicii. Wake Me Up might be Avicii’s most commercially successfully hit, but it was Levels that was his career-breakthrough that even the position #60 in Billboard Hot 100 won’t alter its game-changing impact on radio and EDM world.
- Don’t You Worry Child – Swedish House Mafia. While most artists reached the peak during their career, Swedish House Mafia made it after. The trio has put out Don’t You Worry Child, the last single of their career before their split, which did not only become their most successful hit and their only song to crack American chart Billboard (#1), selling 5.5 copies worldwide, but it also became a Grammy-nominated masterpiece.
- Turn Down For What – DJ Snake , Lil Jon. Turn Down For What entered the mainstream music as a piece of blank page. It was something we did not usually listen on the radio, but it is oddly satisfying and catchy.
- Lean On – Major Lazer & DJ Snake. What happens if two of the most powerful EDM forces join hands? The result is probably the biggest, most ambitious crossover in the electronic music industry.
- Swedish House Mafia feat. Tinie Tempah, “Miami 2 Ibiza” (Polydor, 2010) For their second collaboration with a big name from the hip-hop world, all-world supergroup Swedish House Mafia enlisted U.K.
- Fatboy Slim and Riva Starr feat. Beardyman, “Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat” (Big Beat, 2013) The “#SELFIE” for the old-school ravers, starting out with a sloshed clubber telling a nonsensical story — much like the girls in the Chainsmokers’ smash — that trips out into the titular mantra.
- David Guetta feat. Kid Cudi, “Memories” (EMI Music France, 2010) With just a three-chord piano underline, an insistently pounding pulse, and the Man on the Moon’s weed smoke-dried husk of a voice, the legendary French producer spins yet another lean, effective party-starter.
- Dada Life, “Rolling Stones T-Shirt” (So Much Dada, 2012) Swedish duo Olle Cornéer and Stefan Engblom’s roaring jam invokes the ultimate symbol of vintage cool to demonstrate how the only thing cooler than a girl in your Rolling Stones t-shirt is a girl out of your Rolling Stones t-shirt.
- The rise and fall of Avicii. Avicii represented the heights of the scene, with his massive hits, massive paydays, high-flying lifestyle and global fanbase, which altogether created the template for EDM superstardom.
- “EDM” becomes dance music shorthand, and not without controversy. In the mid-2000s, electronic music producers Justice, Boys Noize, MSTRKRFT and others blended punk energy, metal riffs and hip-hop rhythms into high-energy songs that fit more with the indie dance set than traditional mix-in house and techno.
- Swedish House Mafia’s One Last Tour (2012-2013) In 2012, arguably no dance music group was bigger or more bombastic than the mighy Nordic trio Swedish House Mafia.
- Skrillex launches American dubstep. Dubstep was created in South London in the early 2000s and popularized by producers such as Skream, Benga, Coki and Mala.
