Levels is still one of the biggest songs in EDM history and we need to make sure the next gen know that Avicii played it live in Malmö back in 2011, before it had been released, and the crowd went absolutely insane. After its official release that year, it topped charts in several countries, becaming Avicii's first Billboard Hot 100 entry in the US, and quickly turned into one of the biggest songs of the early 2010s. More than a decade later, it's still played at festivals, tributes and DJ sets everywhere, and for a lot of people it's still the track they associate most with Avicii.
