The Anthem is a studio album from Swedish singer and former Idol contestant Darin. It was his first commercial release following the independent release of his previous album "Darin Zanyar" in 2002. The album features two top 10 singles including the number one single 'Money For Nothing'. Also included on the album is the song 'Coming True' which was recorded by Darin to be released as a single should he have won the Idol contest but as he came second the song was included as a bonus track.
After having taken second place on Idol in 2004, Darin started recording his first studio album, working with producers such as RedOne, Ghost and Jörgen Elofsson. The album consists of 12 tracks, 10 new tracks, 1 bonus track and 1 reproduced tracks from Darin's debut independent album Darin Zanyar. The track What You're Made Of was recorded as a demo for Darin's previous album and written by Darin himself, it was known as What Ya Made Of. The bonus track on the album Coming True, a song written and produced by Jörgen Elofsson, was recorded by Darin and fellow Idol contestant Daniel Lindström and would serve as the single for the eventual winner. Since Lindström won the contest, Darin's version was added as a bonus track.
The album was released in Sweden in February 2005 and is available to download in various countries via iTunes and similar sites.
The album was released on 16 February 2005 and charted 1 week later at number 1. The album charted for 28 weeks in total and was at number one for only 1 week. The album has been certified platinum by the IFPI.
