In Stereo is the debut studio album by the Finnish hip hop group Bomfunk MC's, released on 2 June 1999 through Sony Music Finland.[5] The album reached No. 1 on that year's Finnish albums chart and remained on that chart for 69 weeks.[5] "Freestyler" was released as a single and became a chart-topping hit worldwide during the first half of 2000, reaching No. 1 in eleven countries.[6]

In the group's native Finland, the album won four Emma Awards in 1999 for best new band, best debut album, best song ("Freestyler"), and best producer (Jaakko Salovaara).[7] In Stereo was certified Double Platinum in 1999, with 134,610 copies sold; it was the 27th best-selling album of all time in Finland as of 2013.[8]
