Fame was a Swedish pop duo formed on the reality TV show "Fame Factory" in 2002. Bäcklund was the overall winner, while Andersson dropped out to give birth to her son Liam.
After their Top 5 finish at the 2003 Contest, they participated in Meldofestivalen the following year and finished in sixth place.
They split up in 2006 and both of them participated as soloists in that year's Melodifestivalen - Magnus Bäcklund took part in the first semifinal making it all the way to the final where he finished fifth while Jessica Andersson came in fifth in her semifinal round, which eliminated her from the competition. She returned the following year and again entered three years later but neither entry won the competition. She also released two solo albums: "Wake Up" in 2009 and "40.14.4" in 2013.
