Anthony Keyrouz is a Lebanese DJ and producer who scored one quietly enormous streaming hit in the modern deep-house mould. "Wake Me Up in Paris", released in 2020 with the act Paradigm, is a dreamy, melancholic deep-house track, all twilight atmosphere and yearning melody, and it found a vast online audience, spreading through playlists and sped-up edits.
Keyrouz has released and remixed plenty of other dance music, but none of it has approached the reach of "Wake Me Up in Paris", which remains by far his most-streamed track.
On streaming, "Wake Me Up in Paris" sits near 181 million plays, while his next most-streamed track trails at around 28 million. That puts the ratio above 6, past our 5.0 line.
By our measure Anthony Keyrouz is a certified one-hit wonder, of the very modern, playlist-driven variety. His is a familiar streaming-era pattern for dance producers: a steady output of tracks, one of which quietly catches fire online and pulls far ahead of the rest, becoming the single record that defines an artist for most listeners while everything else stays in its shadow. In an era where a track can travel the world on the strength of a mood alone, "Wake Me Up in Paris" did exactly that, and the rest of his work has never caught up.
