The group's most popular track, " Summer Jam (The Underdog Project song)|Summer Jam " was one of the biggest pop hits in Europe. At one point, it was on the rotation list of every pop radio station in Germany. It also received much attention in the UK and U.S. "Summer Jam" reached a high of # 2 on the German pop charts.

The biggest dance radio station in New York City, WKTU, also expressed support for the record and added it to their playlist, as well as market leader Power 96 in Miami . In addition to the original set of mixes, new mixes of the song have been completed by various remixers to enhance the record's appeal to a wider variety of club DJs.
