===#OperationDethrone===

Monstercat's compilation album ''007 Solace'' reached #1 in the [[iTunes]] EDM charts and #9 in the dance charts, sparking their popularity and giving them the #1 position for their next albums to come. When Monstercat's next album

The album became so popular that it was marked as urgent to be moved to the iTunes dance charts. Once moved, it had surpassed albums from [[Adele]], [[Justin Bieber]], [[One Direction]], [[Linkin Park]], [[Maroon 5]], [[John Mayer]], [[Katy Perry]], and other well-renown artists at the time.
