Most of the artists signed to the label are successful overseas and European acts. American acts like Rockell and <a href="/facts/Reina_(singer)/nMYWQoPG">Reina</a>, however, had Billboard Hot 100 hits. Spanish DJ Sammy gave Robbins its first top 10 Hot 100 hit in 2002 with "Heaven" which featured Dutch recording artist <a href="/facts/Do_(singer)/9TzQhjM2">Do</a>. The Belgian group D.H.T.'s 'Listen To Your Heart' also made #8 on the U.S. charts, and #1 on Pop Airplay. Two other Belgian acts - Ian Van Dahl ("Castles in the Sky") and Lasgo ("Something" & "Alone") also made the U.S. Billboard charts. Robbins was able to attract further foreign talent as Germany's <a href="/facts/Cascada/gYbtND2m">Cascada</a> following this, which helped the company gain more success when Everytime We Touch, <a href="/facts/What_Hurts_the_Most/xe5r0gNC">What Hurts the Most</a>, and most recently <a href="/facts/Evacuate_the_Dancefloor_(song)/GsswURoa">Evacuate the Dancefloor</a> became mainstream pop hits as well. </p> <h2 id="notable-artists">Notable artists</h2> <ul><li><a href="/facts/Afrojack/QSCEbAVx">Afrojack</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Akcent/v8tyv75j">Akcent</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/AnnaGrace/l14drAMm">AnnaGrace</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Borgore/bAVFqjIS">Borgore</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Carnage_(DJ)/nLYvsj0b">Carnage</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Cascada/gYbtND2m">Cascada</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Dana_Rayne/o2pFILjU">Dana Rayne</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Darude/sChQX0le">Darude</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/DHT_(band)/G8psQVSw">D.H.T.</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Hani_(producer)/yrffwP5t">Disconfect</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Dimitri_Vegas_%26_Like_Mike/FwgMSBns">Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/DJ_Sammy/zTXMoKyU">DJ Sammy</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Jenna_Drey/xFgop4I0">Jenna Drey</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Alice_Edun/7TBXhWVo">Edun</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/DJ_Project/y365Ujhm">Elena</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Heather_Leigh_West/1SvtM0gS">Heather Leigh West</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Ian_Van_Dahl/l14drAMm">Ian Van Dahl</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Lasgo/pkjJh48y">Lasgo</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Kate_Ryan/bToxf7Ty">Kate Ryan</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/K5_(band)/U5q6l5Bb">K5 (band)</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Milky/aDIG1cMS">Milky</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Reina_(singer)/nMYWQoPG">Reina</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Rockell/Ru0mqArr">Rockell</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/RUNAGROUND/tDvf2TFN">RUNAGROUND</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/September_(singer)/Dnh1Aw3P">September</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Shermanology/tpVwVsUL">Shermanology</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Judy_Torres/IbvHmT5f">Judy Torres</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Velvet_(singer)/rqdQGlk7">Velvet</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Yolanda_Be_Cool/4zqQ8rBt">Yolanda Be Cool</a></li></ul> <h2 id="albums">Albums</h2> <ul><li><i><a href="/facts/Ace_(Ian_Van_Dahl_album)/o744YdLd">Ace</a></i> by Ian Van Dahl</li> <li><i><a href="/facts/Everytime_We_Touch_(album)/JtGVvXV6">Everytime We Touch</a></i> by Cascada</li> <li><i><a href="/facts/Far_Away_(Lasgo_album)/UqellexW">Far Away</a></i> by Lasgo</li> <li><i><a href="/facts/Heaven_(DJ_Sammy_album)/FI0LGpnD">Heaven</a></i> by DJ Sammy</li> <li><i><a href="/facts/Listen_to_Your_Heart_(album)/Ws35PfUP">Listen To Your Heart</a></i> by D.H.T.</li> <li><i><a href="/facts/Lost_%26_Found_(Ian_Van_Dahl_album)/JLgKN79t">Lost & Found</a></i> by Ian Van Dahl</li> <li><i><a href="/facts/Perfect_Day_(Cascada_album)/TLcwK6nq">Perfect Day</a></i> by Cascada</li> <li><i><a href="/facts/September_(2008_album)/NV4ESllF">September</a></i> by September</li> <li><i><a href="/facts/Some_Things_(album)/Wk9E4g5x">Some Things</a></i> by Lasgo</li> <li><i>This Is Reina</i> by Reina</li> <li><i><a href="/facts/Evacuate_the_Dancefloor_(album)/Im3fUwC2">Evacuate the Dancefloor</a></i> by Cascada</li> <li><i><a href="/facts/Love_CPR/MLfUbqFD">Love CPR</a></i> by September</li></ul> <h2 id="see-also">See also</h2> <ul><li><a href="/facts/List_of_record_labels/LToREUpU">List of record labels</a></li></ul> <h2 id="external-links">External links</h2> <ul><li><a href="http://www.robbinsent.com/">Robbins Entertainment (Official Site)</a></li></ul> <h2 id="references">References</h2> <ol> <li id="fn:1"><p>Tucker, Ken (May 8, 2007).
