In an era where collaborations seem to be the norm, a number 40 can give opposing stories for the artists featured. This is the case with this record. Martin Garrix made his Top 40 debut with a number one in 2013 with "Animals" and this was the Top 40 debut for Troye Sivan who as you see started his Top 40 career with a number 40.
Because dance music events typically require one to be over 18 to attend, many DJs tend to be older than your typical pop singer. However, Martin Garrix the DJ was only 17 when he made his Top 40 debut and not old enough to attend some of the events he would play at. Singer Troye Sivan on the other hand is a year older than Martin Garrix.
Martin Garrix, whose real name is Martijn Garritsen was sole songwriter and sole artist on his debut hit but his remaining Top 40 hits have all been collaborations with multiple songwriters. This one was written by Brett McLaughlin, Martijn Garritsen, Ben Burgess, William Bean, Troye Sivan and Jessie Thomas, a fairly typical number of writers on a modern day EDM record.
As for chart success, well Martin Garrix scored what he'd presumably consider a more important number one in 2017, the number one DJ in the DJ Mag Top 100.
