Prozzäk also made an impact internationally, in the US, where the video for “Sucks to be you” charted on MTV2, and had top 40 hits in Spain (“Hotshow”), and Turkey (“Strange Disease”).
In 2000, Prozzäk released their second album, “Saturday People”, which also went platinum and was nominated for a Juno award for best pop album.
In 2017, the duo released “Forever 1999”, their first studio album in over a decade. Their fans embraced new songs like “Love Me Tinder” and “Love Fools Anonymous”. Prozzak performed for nearly 10,000 fans on their Canadian tour from Ottawa to Victoria later that year.
