Calvin Harris

Calvin Harris kicks off 2024 with a chart-topping hit and record-breaking achievement. He collaborated with Eliza Rose on the joint banger "Body Moving," solidifying his status as a hitmaker in the electronic music scene.

Harris hit No. 1 on Billboard's Dance/Mix Show Airplay with the song and broke the record for the most number one hits in the 20-year history of the chart. His relentless pursuit of excellence propelled him to the summit of Billboard's Dance/Mix Show Airplay, surpassing industry heavyweight David Guetta and emphasizing his unparalleled influence and popularity among fans and peers alike.

"Body Moving" is among several new singles he released for the first time since 2022's "Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2". He admitted it took him a while to come up with new music because he'd been busy with his Las Vegas Residency show.

He said in a recent interview, "I was there at least every week, playing. It got to the point where I was there a little too much. I got tired of it." He got candid about his creativity being hindered by non-stop gig, "One million per cent. It was unreal. No tunes were being made. I didn't make any tunes for a year or maybe a year and a half. I was growing carrots and that was great."

Adding to his list of achievements, Harris also rejoices over an incredible milestone of his classic single "We Found Love" with Rihanna, which has reached an astounding 1 billion streams on Spotify. This milestone not only cements the enduring appeal of the track but also highlights Harris' remarkable ability to create timeless music that resonates with audiences globally.

"We Found Love just hit 1 Billion streams on Spotify 12 years later !! Still can't believe what this song did! Cheers @rihanna (sic)," he gushed on X. He also wrote on Instagram, "Thank you to everyone who's been listening to the tunes this year! We're just getting started!!!"

CALVIN HARRIS BIO

Born on January 17, 1984, Calvin Harris was known in Dumfried, Scotland as Adam Richard Wiles. Harris cited that had he had curly hair, he would have been a football player, but fate played different scenario. Harris was first introduced to electronic music in his teens, recording his own demos in his very own bedroom. So occupied was he with his new hobby that he became an anti-social person. However, his hard work paid off when his songs were released by a label in early 2002. "Da Bongos" and "Brighter Days" became his first professional releases. » more
