}} ''The Spell'' is the second studio album by Danish pop group Alphabeat, released on 26 October 2009 by Copenhagen Records. Alphabeat stated their second album would be a departure from the pop roots of their debut album, ''Alphabeat'', in favour of dance acts from the 1990s such as Snap! and Black Box, with band member Anders SG saying the title track was particularly inspired by Black Box's 1990 song "I Don't Know Anybody Else".〔 The album was originally set to be released in the United Kingdom one week after the original Danish release,〔〔 but was eventually released on 1 March 2010, followed by the second single, "Hole in My Heart". As announced by the band through their Facebook page on 27 January 2010, UK and international pressings of the album were retitled ''The Beat Is...'' including the bonus track "Till I Get Round". In November 2010, the album earned Alphabeat the Danish Music Award for Danish Group of the Year. ==Singles== "The Spell" was released in Denmark on 21 September 2009, serving as the lead single from the album. It topped the Danish Singles Chart for four non-consecutive weeks, while reaching number six in Belgium, number eleven in the Netherlands and number twenty in the United Kingdom. "Hole in My Heart" was released on 21 February 2010 as the album's second UK single and third single overall, peaking at twenty-nine on the UK Singles Chart.
