Alphabeat is a six-piece band from Silkeborg , Denmark .
history
The 2007 Danish debut single Boyfriend went to number 11 in the Danish charts, her second 10,000 Nights of Thunder made it to number 16. The debut album Alphabeat went to number 2 in the album charts and reached platinum status in Denmark. Despite, or perhaps because of the success, the band prefers a sustainable way to consolidate their status. The Danes refused to play in the opening act for the Spice Girls because they felt uncomfortable playing in front of a large audience who did not know their songs.
Alphabeat are signed to EMI UK and Copenhagen Records .
In 2008 they had their biggest appearance so far at the Danish Roskilde Festival . In addition, Alphabeat made their international breakthrough at the same time as the title Fascination . In Great Britain the song became a top 10 hit and the song also hit the charts in Germany and other northern European countries. The reason for this is also that the title was used as the soundtrack for a Coca-Cola campaign.
In 2009 they were awarded the European Border Breakers Award (EBBA).
