The Chainsmokers and Halsey Added To MTV VMAs

The Chainsmokers and Halsey are getting ready to bring some more fun this year's MTV Video Music Awards with the announcement that they will perform their current hit "Closer".

The track just hit the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and also features Drew's lead vocal debut for the music duo. They had previously told us the following about the song, "We are always trying to push ourselves musically and this to us is a huge step. A track that is written, produced and sung on by us.

"Our aim to is to make our music more personal and while this is a fun relatable topic its something that well, is def true to our lives haha... we had a lot of fun making this song and shout out to the AMAZINGLY talented Halsey for crushing her verse. If you had asked us a year ago who our #1 ideal collaboration would be with, you guessed it, it would be Halsey. She is so authentic, talented and real and connected to her fans, she is truly a rare one of a kind artists and to be doing this track with her is so SICK!"

The MTV Awards will be taking place at Madison Square Garden this Sunday, August 28th and will be broadcast live beginning at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
