The show is known for its early bookings of music artists such as Lady Gaga, Dua Lipa, Rita Ora, Jason Mraz, and Ava Max, all of whom later went on to gain global success.[citation needed]

The program consisted of live performances by music artists in front of a live audience, while viewers could call in and win a certain money after figuring out a word derived by entering the answers to questions (one letter in each box) on a piece of paper with squares, like a crossword.[2]

A winter spin-off of the show called Vinterkrysset aired in 2006.
