Is Dead" was their first song to hit the Billboard Hot 100. They also found success with Nakatomi, Alice Deejay and Vengaboys. The Vengaboys alone sold over 15 million singles and 4.5 million albums. The group went platinum in 73 countries and performed in more than 130 different countries. The Vengaboys split in 2000, but van Diepen co-wrote and produced their comeback release "Rocket to Uranus" in 2010. In 2013, Protocol Recordings released the EDM track "WTF!?" which was also co-written by van Diepen and produced by Nicky Romero and Peran van Dijk. Van Diepen resigned as a radio presenter in 2006 to focus more on artist development and music production, but he returned to Radio 538 in 2013 with Global Dance Chart, a weekly beat-mixed chart-show with the 40 biggest dance hits worldwide. The show was officially opened by Martin Garrix smashing a bottle of champagne on van Diepen's head.
