And not only in Germany, Fun Factory tracks have climbed high in the charts in Canada, England, Sweden, the Far East, Finland, Poland, France, Italy and in the USA as well, and have made the group one of the most remarkable European acts internationally.

Later Toni continued to produce mega hits for boybands Backstreets Boys ("Get Down") and N' Sync ("Here We Go", "You Drive Me Crazy"). In the single, "Get Down", Toni featured as a rapper in the song and video, dropping some phat rhymes.
