Anouk's debut single, "Mood Indigo", was released in 1996 and became a moderate hit in her native Netherlands. Its follow-up, "Nobody's Wife", was released the following year. After peaking at number two on the Dutch Top 40, the single became a European hit, entering the top ten in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland.
Both singles were included in her first studio album. Titled Together Alone, it topped the Dutch Albums Chart and also achieved commercial success across Europe.
With her second album, Urban Solitude, Anouk failed to repeat her international success, but consolidated her career in the Netherlands and in Flanders. As of today, she has achieved eight number-one albums in her country, including the compilation Lost Tracks, featuring B-sides and alternate versions of her previous hits, and the live album Live at Gelredome, released in 2008.
