HEY WHATS UP MY GOOD MUSIC /SNEAKER HEADS THIS WEEK MUSIC PICK IS DEDICATED TO THE BOYS FROM NORWAY “MADCON”

They have collaborated with a variety of artists in Norway, but first received real commercial recognition for their work with their partners from Paperboys. The track Barcelona from Paperboys feat. Madcon was a massive hit in Norway – Barcelona won the prize for most requested video of the year from Nordic channel ZTV, and was an important factor in Paperboys winning “Spellemannprisen” – the Norwegian equivalent to the Grammys. Lately Adidas used their song “Beggin” in the Celebration commercial.

Their newest album, entitled So Dark The Con Of Man, was released on December 3. In the UK, released on RCA, the album charted on UK Albums Chart at #137.

The first single from this album, Beggin, has sold 8 times(Norwegian) platinum, and reached number one on sales charts already in the 1st (Norwegian iTunes top songs) and second week (VG-lista Topp 20). Beggin is a cover of a song originally performed in 1967 by The Four Seasons featuring lead vocals by Frankie Valli.
Madcon’s version of Beggin is produced by 3Elementz, who also produced the other singles from “So Dark The Con Of Man”.

They performed at World Music Awards on november 10, 2008, where they also won the World’s Best Selling Norwegian Artist Award.
