With eleven number-one albums,[1] five number-one singles,[2] 22 Swedish Grammy Awards,[3] and over three million record sales, Kent is considered the most popular rock/pop group within Sweden and throughout Scandinavia. Vapen & ammunition (2002) topped the Swedish charts for eight weeks.[4]
As Kent's songs are primarily performed in Swedish, they are unfamiliar to most English-speaking audiences.[5] Kent briefly attempted an international career with English versions of the albums Isola (1997) and Hagnesta Hill (1999) and an accompanying American tour for the former, but stopped after finding less success than they had in Scandinavia.

E^ Kent held a contest where fans were asked to submit their own videos of "Vy från ett luftslott". The band chose five finalists out of 65 entries, and the winner was picked through a poll on the band's forum.
