The two gained popularity in 1996, when they wrote the song "15 miljoen mensen" for a commercial for Postbank N.V.. The song quickly became very popular which led to a longer recording.^[1] The single was very commercially successful, peaking at number one on the Dutch Top 40 chart and the Singles Top 100 where it stayed for two consecutive weeks.^[2]^[3]

They won the Golden Harp Dutch music award in 1997.^[4]
