Some big news today. “Wake Me Up” by Avicii is the first song by a Swedish artist to break 2B streams on Spotify. 

It’s so amazing to see Avicii’s influence and remarkable work continuing to bring joy to so many around the world. 

Kudos to @AshPournouri for believing before… https://t.co/BoyjoJac3Z https://t.co/gVuLeRA9Uw

In loving memory of Tim ”Avicii” Bergling (1989-2018).

Avicii, egentligen Tim Bergling, ursprungligen Lidén, född 8 september 1989 i Oscars församling i Stockholm, död 20 april 2018 i Muskat i Oman, var en svensk discjockey, musiker, remixare, låtskrivare, sångare och musikproducent. Flera musikpublikationer anger honom som en av de DJ:ar som populariserade den elektroniska musiken i början av 2010-talet och åren 2011–2015 rankades han följdriktigt kontinuerligt på plats 3–7 på DJ Mag:s lista över världens 100 bästa DJ:ar.Han inledde sin karriär vid 16 års ålder genom att lägga upp remixer av elektronisk musik på internetforum, vilket till sist ledde till ett skivkontrakt. Han gick Östra reals gymnasium. Genombrottet kom 2011 med låten "Levels", som blev en stor internationell hit, och följdes 2013 av debutalbumet True som nådde topp 10-placeringar i fler än femton länder och blev etta i Australien, Sverige och Danmark samt på Hot Dance Club Songs i USA. Albumet innehöll singeln "Wake Me Up" som kom att bli hans största hitlåt då den toppade de flesta listorna i Europa, låg 14 veckor i rad på Billboards lista för dans-/elektronisk musik och under en period var den mest spelade låten på Spotify. 
Avicii hade vid den tiden blivit en internationellt uppmärksammad DJ/musikproducent och som en av de största inom genren elektronisk dansmusik gav han konserter runt om i världen. 2015 kom det andra studioalbumet, Stories, men året därpå meddelade han att han skulle sluta turnera av hälsoskäl; dock ämnade han fortsätta producera musik.
Bland Aviciis övriga låtar som rönt kommersiella framgångar kan nämnas "Waiting for Love", "Without You", "Lonely Together", "I Could Be the One", "Fade into Darkness", "Hey Brother", "Addicted to You" och "Silhouettes". Avicii fick under sitt liv två Grammynomineringar: "Sunshine" med David Guetta (2012) samt för "Levels" (2013). 
Avicii begick självmord i Muskat i Oman 2018. Han var då 28 år. Avicii är gravsatt på Hedvig Eleonora kyrkogård i Stockholm.
