12 years of music with Karaoke Version

October is very special for Karaoke Version: we're celebrating 12 years in business! Created in 2005, the website still is the largest source for studio-quality instrumental music, with products and services unmatched so far (like our Custom Backing Tracks) !

It's throwback October!

Back in 2005...

In 2005, Mariah Carey ruled the charts with We Belong Together. The singers of Destiny's Child (Beyoncé's first group) announced intentions to disband and Justin Bieber wasn't yet discovered on YouTube (the video-sharing site had just launched).

The French duo Daft Punk released their third album Human After All. And Coldplay continued to churn out hits with their album X&Y. Live 8, the benefit concert for Africa and countries facing extreme poverty, was broadcast live in more than 10 countries around the world with groups like Pink Floyd, Mariah Carey, U2 and more.

What about Karaoke Version?

Twelve years ago, we were publishing our very first songs! Since then, it's been non-stop, with weekly additions of top hits and classics. Here’s a quick look back at where we stand a dozen years later.

• 82,000 instrumental and vocal backing tracks
• 66,000 custom backing tracks
• 65,000 karaoke videos
• 4,403 improved tracks
• 28 talented musicians, developers and customer-oriented music-lovers. Meet the team!
• 4 million users in 246 countries
• Top 3 downloaded songs: 1. Someone Like You - Adele, 2. Rolling In The Deep - Adele, 3. Make You Feel My Love - Adele

We've accomplished all of this over the past 12 years, but we'd never have been able to provide quality tracks and be where we are today without your support, feedback and enthusiasm. Thank you and Happy 12th Birthday Karaoke Version!
