Noughties favourites N-Dubz, known for tracks like "I Need You" and "Number One" evoke nostalgia for many fans with their chart-topping anthems.

The Camden Town-based trio comprises cousins Dappy, Tulisa, and Fazer. They scooped the MOBO Award for Best Newcomer in 2007, then signed with All Around the World after a brief stint with Polydor Records.

Their debut album 'Uncle B' went double platinum and generated four Top 40 singles the following year.In 2009, they clinched the title of Best UK Act at the MOBO Awards and saw their sophomore album 'Against All Odds' reach number six in the charts and earn platinum certification.Concurrently, they achieved their first top 10 hit with "I Need You" and released a third record before embarking on solo careers for an 11-year break.

Fast forward to May 2022, they made waves with their reunion single and a sold-out tour across UK arenas. Despite their prolonged presence in the musical landscape, it has only recently come to light for many what the name 'N-Dubz' actually signifies.One follower, Michael Chakraverty, shared a revelation on X stating: "Today I learned that N-Dubz got their name from the NW London postcode."This indeed reflects the truth, with the 'N' standing for North-West, nodding to the group's origin in London, and "Dubz" interpreted variously.After Michael unearthed the quirky origin behind the name of N-Dubz, social media went into a frenzy with users expressing utter bewilderment at this revelation.
