Italian band Plustwo went viral on TikTok in November 2020 due to their first single, “Melody”. In a few days, over 150.000 people filming themselves singing “Cause I know that I want you so bad, bad…”.

The song even made it on top of the Spotify Viral Chart in the UK (November 16, 2020), as well as hitting the same chart in the USA at number 2 a few days later. It also made the top 50 in various other nations, including Ireland, Norway, Russia, Poland, New Zealand, Lithuania, Finland, Switzerland, Belgium, and Estonia..

Plustwo original nucleos was founded in 1983, featuring singing sisters Marina and Antonella Bianchi (AKA Belen Thomas), Giorgio Costantini (keyboardist and producer), and Renzo Zulian (singer and multi-instrumentalist).

Their small label encountered issues with large-scale distribution back in the day and was forced to shut down, leading the band to call it quits. However, the musicians continued to collaborate through the years, achieving success with various other projects.

As time went by, the original masters of “Melody” were lost, and the few vinyl copies available became so sought after that collectors even paid up to $500 for a single original record.
