History
Founded in Võsu in Lääne-Viru County , 5miinust rose to prominence in 2018, the year in which both studio albums "Aasta plaat" and "Rämmar", released in 2016 and 2017 respectively through Legendaarne Records, charted in the top twenty of the best-selling albums chart nationally,[ 6] making them two of the 18 most successful albums in 2018.[ 7] The following year they recorded the single "Aluspükse" with Nublu , which spent six consecutive weeks at the top of the Eesti Tipp-40,[ 8] becoming the 3rd best-selling song in Estonia for 2019.[ 9] Also in the same year they were signed to the Baltic branch of Universal Music Group ,[ 10] a label through which they released the following singles, "Paaristõuked", "Peo lõpp" and "Loodus ja hobused", all three number one in the Eesti Tipp-40.[ 11] [ 12] [ 13]
As part of the Estonian Music Awards , the Estonian music industry's main awards, they have won in the Artist of the Year category on two occasions,[ 14] [ 15] as well as receiving two additional nominations.[ 16] [ 17]
