Stars on 45 was a Dutch novelty pop act that gained significant international success in the early 1980s. The group was best known for their unique style of creating medleys of popular songs set to a consistent beat, a form of music that was later termed as a "mash-up". Their self-titled album, "Stars on 45", reached number 2 on the UK Albums Chart in 1981, highlighting their notable influence in the pop music scene. Despite the fluctuating band members, producer Jaap Eggermont remained a constant figure, shaping the signature sound of the group.
