Memories...Do Not Open is the debut studio album by American electronic music duo The Chainsmokers, released on April 7, 2017, by Disruptor Records and Columbia Records. Its release was preceded by the singles "Paris" and "Something Just Like This" (in collaboration with Coldplay). The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200.
Chris Martin of Coldplay had first tweeted about the album, prompting The Chainsmokers to confirm it. It was revealed during an on-screen Grammy red carpet interview with the duo that their album title was to be named Memories...Do Not Open and it would be released on April 7, just before they embark on the tour of the same name. As seen in the interview, Taggart was hesitant after revealing the release date of the album, before asking Pall if he should say it. Taggart said "We're ready. We've got a full album; it's going to be amazing. It's coming out April 7, was I supposed to say that?" before Pall responded "No, but it's alright".
The lead single, "Paris", was released on January 13, 2017. The lead single peaked at number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song went on to receive multiple certifications.
The second single, "Something Just Like This", which is a collaboration with British alternative rock band Coldplay, was released on February 22, 2017, along with the pre-order of the album. The song has peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart so far. During the week of March 18, 2017, "Something Just Like This", "Paris" , along with "Closer" were simultaneously within the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. The Chainsmokers became the third group to have three simultaneous top 10 hits.
A promotional single, titled "The One", was released on March 27, 2017. It is a ballad based on the personal lives of the DJ duo. It has so far peaked at number 78 on the Billboard Hot 100.
