It's pretty rare that an act that topped the charts and won legions of fans with its first release can follow that debut up with an equally successful second album.
That kind of show-business lightning striking twice may be unusual, but it's happened for Four-Mod.
Despite their less-than-dazzling vocals, the two young stars-20-year-old Sakolrat Woraurai (Four) and 15-year-old Chutimon chairat (Mod) - are once again enthralling music fans with their massively successful second album, Love Love.
With the respectable title track of their latest release securing the top place on music chart - not to mention being one of the most popular ringtone downloads - it's pretty clear that the duo overcame the dreaded sophomore slump that many succussful artists encounter.
Student Weekly caught up with Four-Mod to find out more about their continuing success, the challenges of a busy schedule and battling the rumour mill.
Student Weekly: You put out your debut less than a year ago. Did you ever think that it might be to soon to release a sophomore effort?
Mod : I don't think so. The staff already had the concept planned out. They wanted the second album to be a continuation of the first one. In the first offering, we were in a state of beathing in. When someone is your breath, you're falling in love. That's why the title is Love Love this time.
Student Weekly: When it comes to second albums, most artists are worried about the sophomore slump. What about your guys?
Four : I was a bit worried at first. It's been said that the second album isn't gonna make it as big as the first one did. But the feedback so far is so good. When we meet our fans, they say, "Love love, love you." It turned out to be a catchy hook.
Mod : It topped the Seed chart and the MTV chart in no time. The success is beyond what we thought it would be.
Student Weekly: You two appeared half-naked in the music video "Date Kan Mai (Want a Date?)." Some say it's too grown-up for you guys. What would you say?
Mod : We shot it in a pool. Who wears long-sleeves when they're soaking?
Four : We marketed our freshness last time, so we needed a little sexiness on this album.
Student Weekly: You guys are working as students, singer and TV presenters all at the same time. Four,you're starring in three soap operas. Do you feel overloaded with responsibilities?
Four : I don't think so. I'm good with my hectic life. I gave the staff my timetable and told them what days I had classes. They've arranged my schedule really well.
Student Weekly: Speaking of classes, Mod, we heard that you chose to study art and Chinese at school. What made you choose Chinese?
Mod : That's simple. Chinese is the second-most-popular language in the world after English. English isn't a problem for me, so I selected Chinese.
Student Weekly: Rumours that you two aren't getting along well have been flying over the gossip columns and the Inthernet. What's that all about?
Mod : Oh, that! Yeah, we've heard that. Many people have asked us if we're good to each other. It's all nonsense. We're good friends.
Student Weekly: So what could have possibly caused those rumours?
Four : Maybe it's because during performance breaks, we sometimes sit in different corners. Well, we're tired after performing. What would you expect us to do? Keep chatting? Sometimes we need a personal corner to rest.
Mod : Also, when some people see us not sticking together, they think we're mad at each other. Excuse me! We don't live in the same house.
Student Weekly: Four, what about the latest rumour that you're dating bogie? How did that begin?
Four : Nothing's going on between us. I happened to meet him at an event and we just made small talk. Other artists, including Mod, were there and talked to him, too. I don't know why it's only me having the issue with him.
