Band Ghent Belgium Formed 1994 Belgian indiepop

The station that charted Das Pop most often is Studio Brussel (Flanders, Belgium), with 3 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2011.
Das Pop started out in Ghent in 1994 as a bunch of school friends, Reinhard Vanbergen, Niek Meul, Lieven Moors and Bent Van Looy, and by the late 2000s they had turned into one of Belgium's sharpest pop-rock bands. They sing in English, though they did cut a German version of their hit "You", retitled "Du", for good measure.
Van Looy is the ringmaster, handling lead vocals and switching between drums, keyboards and even keytar over the years, while Vanbergen adds guitar and violin and Meul holds down the bass. Their self-titled album in 2009 gave them "Wings", a glossy, sky-high anthem that's all bright hooks and swagger.
The Game followed in 2011, and the title track is the one that stuck, a bouncing, strutting bit of pop with a grin on its face, while "Skip the rope" keeps up the playground energy. It's music that sounds like it was built for summer festivals and late-night radio in equal measure.
