In the U.S., they are no longer on the Robbins Entertainment label that they were on from "Everytime We Touch" through their
Evacuate The Dancefloor album. They parted ways with that label in 2011 citing 'creative differences'. They were one of the biggest successes on that independent label other than D.H.T. who had a hit with a cover of Roxette's "Listen To Your Heart" during the Summer and Fall of 2005. Up until that point, Robbins had mostly been known only in Dance music circles, often serving as a U.S. label that would release European Dance/Club singles. Robbins has been releasing far fewer singles in recent years, and they have moved in a less Dance-driven direction despite the prevalence of that style in the mainstream since 2008.
Cascada are now on an even smaller independent. Unless the song is really something new and exciting, and not simply a re-tread of earlier styles and sounds, I cannot see it doing that much. I thought it was a mess that they got accused of plagiarism with "Glorious" (some claimed that it sounded a lot like Loreen's "Euphoria" which had won at Eurovision the year before Cascada entered), but it was determined to be much ado about nothing. Remakes, covers, samples, and sound-a-likes are something they need to step away from.
