Based on a True Story is the eagerly anticipated, long awaited first studio produced album by New Zealand group Fat Freddy's Drop. It debuted at number 1 and went gold in its first day, and so far has become the longest album by a New Zealand group/artist to stay at number 1. As of August 28, 2006 the album had been in the New Zealand charts for 69 weeks and had gone 6 times Platinum, selling over 90,000 copies. Earlier in 2005, Based on a True Story won the New Zealand Music Awards for 'Album of the Year', an amazing achievement for an independent label. 'Based On A True Story' also features appearances from some of New Zealand's most talented musicians, including Ladi 6 , P Digsss, Hollie Smith, Rio Hemopo & Riki Gooch, Nick Gaffaney, Chris Yeabsley & Aaron Tokona.
