In 2017, Kygo landed on the cover of Billboard magazine, reflecting his colossal success. His single “It Ain’t Me” with Selena Gomez reached Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has amassed over 608 million Spotify streams to date.

In September of last year, he released his Stargazing EP, which included new tracks “Stargazing”, “This Town”, and a collaboration with U2 entitled “You’re The Best Thing About Me”, rounded out with “It Ain’t Me” and “First Time”.

His latest album, “Kids in Love”, debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart.
