The group won the semifinals and finals, but in the super finals it was only the third ( Anmari went to the competition).

From 2014 to 2016 four songs in Latvian reached the 1st place in the top of the Latvian state radio LR2 (“Kā bezgalība sākas”, “Uz jumta”, “Nepabeigti dzejoļi” and “Karsta tēja”). The song “Kā bezgalība sākas” was included in the top ten tracks most often heard in 2014 on the waves of the state radio radio LR2 (8th place).

At the end of 2015, the song “I did not go in karate” hit the annual top of “Chart Dope 2015” at the Russian radio station “Our Radio” (7th place).
