As multi-platinum award winning artists and songwriters, their global sales total 30 million and over million plays on Spotify. They continue to play to thousands of people around the world; in alone, they travelled all over Europe and flew over to Canada to play to North American fans, playing twenty shows in summer alone.

Fred and Richard borrowed the money to demo the song and to keep the costs down they recorded at night in a studio in Ealing that had gone into receivership. The final session was at Red Bus Studios in London in early However, they followed their instincts nevertheless — they knew they were onto something special. Like the best success stories, when it felt like the chips were down, fate was on their side.

Their lives would never be the same again. Their second single reached no. The album hit 7 million sales worldwide and was a number 1 hit in the UK.
