Cir.Cuz is a Norwegian hip-hop duo, best known for the Top 5 hits "Radio" and "Supernova." The group was formed in January 2011 in Mats Melbye's hometown of Sarpsborg, Norway, Joined by Skien native Thomas Pedersen, Melbye released Cir.Cuz's debut single, "Radio," one month later. The song introduced the duo's blend of pop, rap, and hip-hop, which proved to be a successful combination in Cir.Cuz's homeland. A Number 2 hit on the VG-lista chart, "Radio" was followed by another hit song, "Diva," which peaked at Number 20. Both singles also appeared on the group's debut album, Alt i sin tid, which was released in November 2011. "Gatelys" was released in 2012, doubling as the first release from the group's second record, Vi er Cir.Cuz. Although "Gatelys" failed to chart in Norway, it was followed by the massively successful "Supernova," which found the group collaborating with singer Julie Bergan. "Supernova" reached Number 5 in Norway and was certified fourteen-times platinum. Its accompanying album, Vi Er Cir.Cuz, was also successful, peaking at Number 39. In 2014, Cir.Cuz participated Norway's Melodi Grand Prix with "Hele verden," although the song failed to earn the group a spot in the Eurovision Song Contest. The duo returned in 2015 with a third album, Hjertet mitt slår, and earned a Number 28 hit with "Original." After the album's release, Cir.Cuz spent several years releasing a number of non-album singles, eventually revisiting the Norwegian Top 40 for a fifth time with 2023's "Alt jeg har drømt om," which peaked at Number 38.
