Sol3 Mio (stylised as SOLΞ MIO) is the self-titled debut studio album by New Zealand musical trio Sol3 Mio. It was released on 15 November 2013 by Universal Music Group. The album debuted at number 1 on the New Zealand Albums Chart, and as of 7 July 2014, has spent sixteen non-consecutive weeks at number 1.[1] It has since been certified 8× platinum by Recorded Music NZ for shipments exceeding 120,000 copies.[2]

Background

[edit]

Sol3 Mio was recorded in London in 2013. It was produced by Nick Patrick and consists of 14 covers of opera, musical and popular classics, including two Christmas songs.[3] The album was released on 15 November 2013 and has been certified 8× platinum by Recorded Music NZ for shipments exceeding 120,000 copies.[2] Despite being released at the end of 2013, the album sold so well that it became the best-selling album of the year in New Zealand, beating out fellow New Zealand singer Lorde's Pure Heroine.[4] The album also went on to become the second best-selling album of the year for 2014 in New Zealand, behind Ed Sheeran's x. In Australia, the album peaked at number 6 on the ARIA Albums Chart in 2014.[5] In the UK, it peaked at number 44 on the UK Albums Chart.
