Two years after founding the band they released "Flirting and Showing", which reached number 40 in the Netherlands and Germany.[1][2] A year later they released the single "Precious Little Diamond", which reached fifth place in Germany, number 18 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play, 11 in the Netherlands, 15 in France, 38 in Belgium and 86 in the United Kingdom.[2][3][4][5] Subsequent singles and albums were not successful.
