His first album, last year’s TRUE, was named “Album of the Year” by Elektro and The New York Times called Avicii “savvy and timely” and “an artist carrying today – and tomorrow – on his shoulders.” Dancing Astronaut wrote, “timeless…an hour of excellence.” “Wake Me Up,” the first single from the album, was #1 in 84 countries, is triple platinum in the U.S. and the video for the track has been watched over 500 million times on YouTube alone. “Hey Brother,” his current single, is exploding on radio and he has just launched “Addicted to You” internationally.
Last month, Avicii released TRUE (Avicii by Avicii), the groundbreaking remix album of his mega-successful debut TRUE (PRMD/Island Records).
