NEW YORK, July 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SiriusXM announced
today that it will launch Nice
Hair with The Chainsmokers, a new exclusive show hosted
by DJ/production duo The Chainsmokers on Electric Area.
In less than a year, The Chainsmokers—Andrew Taggart and
Alex Pall—have risen to the top of electronic dance music.
Their breakout single "#SELFIE" reached platinum status as
well as #1 on Billboard's Hot Dance/Electronic
Songs Chart. An online phenomenon with over 180 million views and
counting, it also landed at #6 on YouTube's "Top Music Videos of
2014". They have been nominated for a Teen Choice
Award and gained massive support
for DJ Mag's "Top 100 DJs".
Starting Monday, August 18, they will have their very
own SiriusXM show.
Nice Hair with The
Chainsmokers will feature The Chainsmokers presenting world
premieres of new music, DJ mixes and interviews with other emerging
artists. The show will be fueled by the unpredictable personalities
and wild antics of Taggart and Pall. Each show will feature the duo
sharing behind the scenes stories about touring and unfiltered
anecdotes about international stardom.
The weekly show will launch on Monday,
August 18 at 10:00 pm ET via
satellite on Electric Area channel 52 and through the SiriusXM
Internet Radio App on smartphones and other connected devices, as
well as online at siriusxm.com.
"We couldn't be more excited to have our first radio show ever
on SiriusXM," The Chainsmokers commented. "We have always been
quite opinionated when it comes to pretty much everything in life,
so to have a channel to express ourselves and share music we think
needs to be heard, is something we are very excited about. With
that in mind, are they crazy giving us our own show!"
"We make it a priority to constantly be on the cutting edge of
EDM, and we are always looking for creative ways to work with
artists and producers to create programming we know EDM fans will
love to have access to. This new show hosted by The Chainsmokers is
a unique addition to our EDM lineup," said Scott Greenstein, President and Chief Content
Officer, SiriusXM.
Electric Area plays today's biggest dance hits and remixes.
Listeners will hear Tiesto, Afrojack, Armin
van Buuren, Sander van Doorn,
Avicii/Tim Berg, Above & Beyond,
Eric Prydz, Swedish House Mafia,
deadmau5.
