EyeQ was a Danish female vocal ensemble created as the victors of the inaugural season of the reality television program Popstars broadcast on TV2 in 2001. The group emerged as one of Denmark's top-selling musical acts. The lineup consisted of vocalists Trine Jepsen, who had won the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix in 1999 with the song "Denne Gang," alongside Louise Lolle, Sofie Hviid, and Julie Næslund.
2001: Breakthrough and debut release
Leveraging the publicity gained from Popstars, EyeQ's first single "I Want What She's Got" reached the number one position on Danish charts, selling more than 30,000 units and earning triple platinum certification. Their initial album, Let It Spin (2001), secured the top spot on Denmark’s album chart and stayed on the list for twenty weeks, achieving sales of 150,000 copies and receiving triple platinum status.
2002–03: Sophomore album and group dissolution
Released in 2002, their second album Be Okay included multiple tracks penned by the members themselves but only managed to attain number seventeen on the charts for a single week. Following Sofie Hviid's exit in 2003, EyeQ disbanded soon after.
