Another highly anticipated remix to break radio charts worldwide was Tiesto’s remix of the beautiful song “All Of Me” by John Legend.

Tiesto paired his distinct style with Legend’s vocals and harmonious piano melody flawlessly. The radio played “All Of Me” so much that it was literally impossible to turn it on without hearing it.

Romanian DJ/producer Edward Maya produced one of the first electronic songs to take over the radio, “Stereo Love” featuring Vika Jigulina.

1) Levels - Avicii
Avicii consistently produces music that generally takes over the mainstream media, however, his initial progressive house track "Levels" genuinely redefines the act of the radio ruining a song. Being released back in 2011, "Levels" is single handedly responsible for the exposure of the Swedish dj/producer. To this day, this track is viewed as the most generic and overkilled EDM song of the decade. For months after its release, this song was everywhere; teenagers blasted it from their cars, clubs played it continuously, and it was so big that Avicii still can't escape the beat.
