The first single for the Vengaboys "Up and Down" was first released in Benelux in March 1997. Immediately following its release, "Up and Down" got noticed quickly by all the major record companies. The Vengaboys were offered huge amounts of money in addition to excellent royalty deals. Although very tempting, they decided it would be better to go ahead with strong independent dance labels to secure creative control, instead of being swallowed by a major label. Shortly afterward, "Up & Down" was licensed to: Scorpio Music (France), Jive (Scandinavia), Avex (South East Asia and Japan), Motor Music (Germany), Max Music (Spain), Helicon Records (Israel), Time Records (Italy) , Strictly Rhythm (USA), and Positiva Records (U.K. and Eire) . The highest Benelux "Up & Down" single chart position was number four (April, 1998). At the beginning of July 1998 "Up and Down" entered the German Media Control Singles Top 100 at number 16. From then on the Vengaboys perceived the Benelux as an excellent test market. Therefore, the follow-up single, "We Like to Party! (The Vengabus)," and the Vengaboys' debut album, The Party Album!, were both released in Benelux in April and May, 1998. The highest chart position for the album was number four in the Benelux Album Top 100. In August 1998, the single "We Like to Party (The Vengabus)" achieved platinum sales status in Benelux; its highest position was number two in the Singles Top 100. October 1998's "We Like to Party!" entered the German Media Control Singles Top 100 at number seven like a bullet. Off course, "We Like to Party" was released all over Europe. ~ Amanda Nusbaum, Rovi
