Khaled achieved broader mainstream fame with the success of "I'm on One" and later massive hits such as "I'm the One" and "Wild Thoughts," working alongside artists like Drake, Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne, and more. His albums Major Key, Grateful, and Father of Asahd have all debuted at number one, with the song "Higher" earning him his first Grammy Award.
