David Guetta Breaks Records with 17th Dance Radio #1 Hit ‘Forever Young’

EDM legend David Guetta has officially become the record-holder for the most #1s at Dance Radio, achieving his 17th chart-topping hit with “Forever Young,” featuring Ava Max and Alphaville.The track has not only dominated Billboard’s Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart but is also climbing other key charts, including Adult Pop Airplay (Top 10) and Top 40 (Top 15).

Much like Guetta’s 2022 global smash hit “I’m Good (Blue)” with Bebe Rexha, which boasts over 3.4 billion streams, “Forever Young” owes part of its viral success to TikTok.

The iconic producer revamped the 1980s classic this past summer, infusing it with fresh, energetic beats and enlisting the vocal talents of Ava Max.

The collaboration has not only resonated with fans but has also cemented Guetta’s legacy as a trailblazer in the dance music scene.

Unforgettable Live Performances

The single became a staple of Guetta’s renowned F*** Me I’m Famous! residency at Ushuaïa Ibiza. Ava Max joined him in September to perform the song live at the residency’s closing party, creating an unforgettable moment for fans. The performance, captured and shared widely on TikTok, further amplified the song’s reach. Fans can also enjoy a “Live At Ushuaïa” version of the track on Guetta’s official YouTube channel.
