We want to edit the "History" to:
 * Specific text to be added or removed:

In 2015, they released the song "Statue", which was performed on the SVT Moraeus in the same year. Also in 2015, the duo won the Denniz Pop Awards with Max Martin in the jury. In spring of 2016, the duo won Musexpo in Los Angeles in the category 'New Emerging International Artist'. The same year influencer and music critic Bob Lefsetz placed "Statue" at number 16 on his list of the best songs of 2016 with the description, "An instant classic, you'll get this one immediately." The duo followed up "Statue" with the singles "Row" (2016), "February" (2017), and "Toast" (2017), before releasing their debut album Soulprints on May 12, 2017.

The band's first major international breakthrough came in November 2018, with their hit single "Forgive Me Friend". The song has since been streamed over 85 million times and earned Platinum (3x) status in Sweden and Gold status in Norway. The hit reached #1 at Pop Radio in Sweden and Poland, Top 25 on U.S. Alternative Radio, and Top 10 on U.S. Triple A Radio. Smith & Thell’s follow up 2019 single, Hotel Walls quickly shot to #1 on Swedish Pop Radio and has been streamed over 50 million times. It is certified Platinum in Sweden and Gold in Norway. 2020 saw the duo win a Swedish Grammi for Composers of the Year, and in 2021, they picked up a Swedish Rockbjörnen award for Best Group 2021.
