Prozzäk also made an impact internationally, in the US, where the video for “Sucks to be you” charted on MTV2, and had top 40 hits in Spain (“Hotshow”), and Turkey (“Strange Disease”).
In 2000, Prozzäk released their second album, “Saturday People”, which also went platinum and was nominated for a Juno award for best pop album.
In 2017, the duo released “Forever 1999”, their first studio album in over a decade. Their fans embraced new songs like “Love Me Tinder” and “Love Fools Anonymous”. Prozzak performed for nearly 10,000 fans on their Canadian tour from Ottawa to Victoria later that year.
Whigfield
Sannie Carlson, better known by her infamous stage name Whigfield, is internationally celebrated for her catalogue of euro pop hits that have sold millions of records worldwide.
In 1994 she gained a place in the Guinness Book of Records with the song ‘Saturday Night’ as the first artist to go straight to number one in the UK singles chart with a debut single.
