One of the top DJs in the world and the “grandfather of EDM", David Guetta celebrates his birthday today. Having sold nine million albums and 30 million singles worldwide, he is arguably the best of all time in the business. He is largely responsible for laying the groundwork for popularising dance music in the American mainstream, the benefits of which artists that came after him are reaping. The list of his hits is so long we can’t accommodate in one story, but here is an attempt at compiling some of his best creations over the years into one playlist.
2U ft. Justin Bieber
This song was released as the lead single of his album 7 in 2017. It featured on Worldhit and marked the top 200 in over 40 countries.
Hey Mama ft. Nicki Minaj, Bebe Rexha & Afrojack
Released in March 2015 as part of the album Listen, the song was a huge hit and broke into top ten in the US, UK and several other countries.
I Gotta Feeling ft. The Black Eyed Peas
Guetta created this song in collaboration with The Black Eyed Peas for their album The E.N.D. It topped the US charts and 20 other charts worldwide. It spent 14 consecutive weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100.
Lovers on the Sun ft. Sam Martin

Titanium ft. Sia
We were, of course, not going to miss this out. Made in collaboration with Sia, this is probably the most popular song by Guetta. It has over 1.3 billion views on YouTube. The music video is as good as the song.
