Which 2026 Lollapalooza act had a 2014 breakout single titled #Selfie?

The story behind the answer

The Chainsmokers had the 2014 breakout single “#Selfie.” The song’s spoken, satirical portrayal of selfie culture introduced the electronic music duo to a mass audience.

The Chainsmokers are Alexander “Alex” Pall and Andrew “Drew” Taggart. They released “#Selfie” in 2014 through Dim Mak Records, and its unusual spoken-word hook helped it become a widely recognized dance-pop novelty hit.

The duo later moved toward more melodic songwriting and crossover pop. Their 2016 single “Closer,” featuring Halsey, became a much larger international success and topped charts in multiple countries. A common mix-up is assigning “#Selfie” to another electronic act because the song was part of the broader EDM-pop boom of the mid-2010s; its performer, however, was The Chainsmokers.
