In Stereo is the debut studio album by hip hop group Bomfunk MC's, released in 1999 through Sony Music Finland. The album reached No. 1 on that year's Finnish albums chart and remained on that chart for 69 weeks.[1] "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.[4]

In the group's native Finland, the album resulted in Emma awards for best new band, best debut album, best song ("Freestyler") and best producer (JS16).[5] In Stereo was certified Double Platinum in 1999, with 134,610 copies sold; it is currently the 25th best-selling album of all time in Finland.[6]
