I love the chainsmokers. Do you like them?
I have never heard of them until now but I understand they are an American DJ production duo of Alex Pall and Andrew Taggart. Why do you love them?
Yes exactly. Their music really makes me get up and dance.
So in 2014, they achieved a breakthrough with #selfie which made the top twenties in many countries. Did you enjoy that?
I did. I also love the song Don't Let Me Down. They won a grammy for that one.
That's amazing! To win a a grammy is awesome! So they won for Best Dance and Recording at the 59th awards ceremony!
I know! Isn't that amazing how you can win a Grammy now for Dance and Recording!
The Grammy's have changed a lot since 1958 in the manner they honor and respect the musical accomplishments by all performers.
They really have. Not the old Grammy's from my childhood any more.
