Ch!pz is a Dutch pop music group that originated in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The group was formed in 2003, after several rounds of tryouts for Fox Kids. Career In the Netherlands, many radio stations wouldn't play the Ch!pz' songs because most of the listeners found their songs too childish. However, thanks to promotions on Fox Kids, Ch!pz became one of the most well-known bands in the Netherlands. Within a year and a half, the band had three singles at the top of the Dutch singles charts. Most of their singles went straight to the number one position, except Captain Hook and their debut single Ch!pz in Black. Their debut album, The Adventures of Ch!pz, was released in 2004 in the Netherlands, which went straight to number one in the Dutch albums chart. In 2005, their second album, The World of Ch!pz, was released. Singles from it include 1001 Arabian Nights, One, Two, Three!, and Carnival. All of which peaked at the number one position. At the start of 2005, "Ch!pz in Black", the first single from Ch!pz, was released in Germany and climbed to the second position on the German charts. Shortly thereafter, in early-May 2005, their second single, Cowboy, made it to the second position as well. A week later, the song made it all the way to the first position. Their videos are all of the same style: The members of the band are in outlandish surroundings, and they all wear similar styles of clothing (for example, in "Ch!pz in Black", they all wear black outfits). As such, they overcome a horse thief in "Cowboy", aliens who kidnapped their fellow campers in "Ch!pz in Black", a magic lamp thief in "1001 Arabian Nights", and in "One, Two, Three!" they fight against their evil selves. All of this happens amidst clips of highly stylised dance moves, which inevitably defeat their enemies. In April 2006, they released a new single in the Netherlands, Gangstertown. Two months after the release of the single, that peaked at number five in the Dutch Top 40, an EP was also released, Past:Present:Future (Part 1). Also, a music video was shot for Waikiki Beach, but was not released on the single. In late September, their latest single, One Day When I Grow Up was released. The single entered the Dutch charts at number 29 and climbed up to peak at number seven. A second EP, Past:Present:Future
