Marshmello Ft Bastille

7 massive remixes!

When “Happier” reached its current peak of No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, DJ-producer Marshmello and British band Bastille both hit new career highs: The former made his top five debut, while the latter made its first return to the Hot 100 since 2013 breakthrough single “Pompeii” (No. 5).

Since its Aug. 17 release, the dance-rock track has been propelled by a robust combination of streaming (No. 2 on Dance/Electronic Streaming Songs), sales (No. 4 on Digital Song Sales) and radio airplay (No. 5 on Radio Songs).

But for Marshmello’s manager, Moe Shalizi, the song’s relatability is the biggest factor behind its rapid rise: “It just hits you in the feels immediately.”
