  Having dominated the charts in her native homeland of Holland, where her debut album ‘Deleted Scenes from the Cutting Room Floor’ spent over 30 weeks at the top of the album chart, breaking Michael Jackson’s record for Thriller and notching up triple platinum sales, Caro Emerald continues to dominate the world charts.

Having spent the past 6 weeks inside the top 10, Emerald’s impressive debut ‘Deleted Scenes From The Cutting Room Floor’ this week jumps two spots pushing Lady Gaga out of #4 to claim a place inside the top 5 for the first time!

Take Five With… Caro Emerald


:: What track changed your life ::
My first single Back It Up! Originally, I was just the demo singer for the song. Producers David Schreurs and Jan van Wieringen asked me to do the demo vocals for a song that they wanted to sell to a Japanese artist. Me and the song turned out to be a perfect match, so we decided to make an album together.
