It has now generated over 766 million views on Youtube and over 872 million streams on Spotify. But another stand-out song on ‘Stories’ actually comes from its list of bonus tracks, and that is “The Nights.” A song, that has consistently gained more publicity over time. Songs such as “Ten More Days,” “For a Better Day,” “Broken Arrows,” and most notably from the original tracklist “Waiting for Love,” in which Avicii cowrote with Garrix and premiered as the album’s first single. With 14 tracks, the compilation included some of Avicii’s most notorious songs in his career. Featuring artists such as Chris Martin (Coldplay), Zac Brown, Wyclef Jean, Sandro Cavazza, and working with Martin Garrix, Mike Posner and Carl Falk, Avicii made sure this album would be even better than that last. ‘Stories’ hit the shelves on October 2nd, 2015, and once again featured a tracklist that contained an entirely different sound from ‘True.’ Avicii, as expected, set himself apart from what was considered the norm in electronic dance music during that time. Announcing exciting new collaborations and an album that would be “more song oriented,” the project was sure to be Avicii’s best body of work yet. After two years of waiting and teasing the new music at festivals like Ultra in 2015, people couldn’t wait to get their hands on the new material. After the tremendous success of his debut album ‘ True,’ Avicii fans waited in anticipation for his sophomore project that would ultimately cement the Swedish legend’s name in the book of music history.
