In Stereo is the first album released by the breakbeat band Bomfunk MC's in 1999. It produced the massive hit single "Freestyler" and other big hits like "B-Boys & Flygirls" and "Uprocking Beats". In Stereo sold over 600,000 units.
The success led to the release of "Freestyler" in Scandinavia and Germany. "Uprocking Beats" reached #1 position on Finnish Dance charts. In Stereo sold over 600,000 units.
By 2000, "Freestyler" had become a big hit in Europe and it was the year's biggest-selling single in Europe. The single reached number one in Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, Italy and Germany, and number two in the UK. Also in 2000, they won Best Nordic Act at the MTV Europe Music Awards. Nevertheless, the single did spark a little controversy. The line "Who the fuck is Alice, is she from Buckingham Palace?" was censored on the UK radio version, and the video featured a lot of product placement by Sony.
