Spellemannprisen



In a ceremony held on 14 January 2012, for the annual Spellemannprisen, "Mkkamann" the prize for best hit of the year. During the thank you-speech, the band's vocalist Lars Erik Blokhus made a joke to Tshawe Baqwa and Yosef Wolde-Mariam in the Norwegian hip-hop group Madcon; "Nr jeg ser p deg fr plutselig lta nytt navn, Mokkamann." (meaning in Norwegian: When I look at you, the song gets a whole new name, Mocha man."), which was widely received as racist and sparked vast outrage.

Charts



The single didn't chart when it was initially released in 2010.

A release in summer of 2011 proved far more successful and the single reached No. 8 (week 33/2011) in the VG-lista, the official Norwegian Singles Chart, spending a span of 12 weeks (weeks 30 to 47/2011) mostly in the Top 20 (just one week in the Top 10).

With the song winning the Spellemannprisen best hit of the year, the single enjoyed an even greater popularity reappearing in the charts in January 2012, reaching No. 1 on the VG-lista in chart for week 4/2012.
