"10,000 Lovers (In One)" is a hit single by the Norwegian band TNT, taken from their 1987 album, Tell No Tales. It was written about a girl who TNT's vocalist at that time, Tony Harnell, knew. The single reached the Billboard Hot 100 chart in America, peaking at number 100 and earned the band a Spellemannprisen.
In 2006 TNT recorded a new version of the song together with the Norwegian rapper Vinni from the band Paperboys. This version included newly written and controversial rap lyrics, which fueled Harnell to make a statement.
Vinni joined TNT for a couple of performances of the new version in concerts and on national TV shows. It was scheduled to be included on a compilation of Norwegian hits, but it was cancelled due to unknown problems.
