"The Chainsmokers" is a name of the group. Even though there are multiple people in the group, MLA rules suggest that a "collective noun" or group name should be handled as a singular subject rather than a plural. It sounds colloquially appropriate to say "The Chainsmokers are an America DJ and production trio..." as the intro states, but formal English suggests that it should read, "The Chainsmokers is an American DJ and production trio." Should this article reflect the colloquial tone of the user or the formal tone of an encyclopedia entry? If it is decided that "The Chainsmokers" is indeed a collective noun and needs to have singular verbs, there will be a huge amount of changes to this article. Thank you for your thoughts on this small question! See the following link to Purdue Owl's guide to grammar. I am specifically referencing rule number 10 on this link: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/general_writing/grammar/subject_verb_agreement.html Tailcomet2 (talk) 23:32, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
User Caden undid a revision with this edit, which was removing the false info that "Erase" was a single release from Chopra. The associated link does not state anything like that. The user reverted it saying common sense says that, but I would very much like to know his reasons per Wiki policies. —Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 16:06, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

A few sentences/points in the article seem to be biased and/or advertising the Chainsmokers themselves by using rather biased language (fans running them to see every chance they get, their shows becoming the most sought after in EDM, etc., these are specified). I would personally attempt to fix this by revising or simply removing the disputed sentences. HandIsNotNookls (talk) 03:28, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
You can do a simple google search and find plenty of articles on The Chainsmokers before 2012 and this guy used to be part of the duo before Andrew came in. Why is he not included in the article anymore? I'm pretty he used to be.

The birth year for Alex Pall is inconsistent in the Intro and Early Life sections. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nickenzi (talk • contribs) 16:27, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
It seems that my edit of adding "New York City" as a single keeps getting reverted as it is a non-charting single. This raises two questions from me: 1. Is that really the only criteria for what qualifies as a "single"? No promotion from their label, no music video, it all depends on their chart status? This is the same problem I have with Martin Garrix discography the singles section. 2. If chart positions is the sole criteria for a single, then all of their singles but "#Selfie" and "Roses" should be removed, correct? I am only asking because this is an issue that genuinely bothers me. I would appreciate an answer. --Shoesquashfan5000 (talk) 07:00, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

Although their discography appears extensive on the page, they have not released any actual studio albums yet. Therefore, there appears to be little to no reason to keep their discography on the page itself; rather, I would think it smarter to make it a separate page entirely.

"future bass" should be linked to the Wikipedia article on future bass: "future bass" The future bass article is the same as that referred to in this article, and mentioned The Chainsmokers under its "notable artists" section. ETHJILA (talk) 04:13, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

Please add a needed apostrophe to the second paragraph under the section "2012: Beginnings." It is needed in the word, domains. It is a contraction for the words, "domain is." Thus the word should be domain's. There are other punctuation problems in the sentence (missing commas, for instance), but this is the most egregious error. This is the paragraph in question:
During an October 2016 television interview, ABC News Nightline reporter Nick Watt asked Pall and Taggart "What's with the (duo's) name?" Alex Pall replied "At the time of conception it was, it was totally just like I was in college. You know I enjoyed smoking weed and you know it was just like such a yeah the domain's open. I don't have to have any like underscores." Drew Taggart added "Uh it's just a name."[17] Misterchimp (talk) 05:10, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
Is the Tour section really necessary? I don't see it on most similar articles and I'm sure it's inaccurate because The Chainsmokers have gone on tour many times not just the MDNA one. — TheMagnificentist 13:26, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

Alex Pall's father unfortunately passed away when he was 13 years old, but the article says that he is still an art dealer. I believe that piece of information should be included there. Source: https://www.nytimes.com/1997/12/26/classified/paid-notice-deaths-pall-william-b.html The link is his obituary.

Should "Bouquet (EP)" and "Collage (EP)" be listed in "Discography"? Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk) 10:05, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
The "2012: Formation" section explains that The Chainsmokers initially consisted of Alex Pall and Rhett Bixler, before being re-formed with the addition of Andrew Taggart. It may be worth mentioning why Rhett Bixler left the group. Personally, I don't know why Rhett Bixler left the group; however, if someone does, this would be a great add!

In the Members section, it informs the reader of where Alex Pall and Andrew Taggart are from, but not Matt McGuire. I feel like adding his birthplace would help keep the article consistent. Thank you for considering the suggestion! Pinkpurpleblue155 (talk) 19:17, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
