Hello, Finnish friends! I was wondering how popular this song and band really were in Finland. I’m from Southeastern Europe, and I think it was the most popular song here in the 2000s—it was everywhere! I know that Bomfunk MC’s are Finnish, which is why I’m asking.

  1. At least everyone who was young at that time is likely to know about them, but they were a one hit wonder. The song is still played, but rarely in its entirety.

  2. Very popular, you still hear it being played today at sports matches and radio. It made it all the way to where I’m from, Australia.

  3. They did play at many of the biggest events, such as the televised “Puhdas Elämä Lapselle”-charity gig at a Helsinki Stadium. But like LordMario said in another comment, the band’s success was fairly short-lived, and didn’t have many hits.

  4. Topped as number 4 on Finnish Singles list in 1999. Though the album which it is from *In Stereo* was Album List Number 1 for 9 weeks in 1999 and 2000.

    Soooo yeah…. It was big thing. Specially once it made international success…. Since whenever something Finnish makes success internationally, it will be even more popular for “being the local thing done good internationally”.
