Following the 2009 radio musical The Seduction of Ingmar Bergman and Sparks' subsequent collaboration with Franz Ferdinand in FFS, the release of Hippopotamus marked a return to the traditional Sparks format of "short, literate, witty pop songs",[6] mixing elements from the band's various stylistic periods.[7]
Hippopotamus was met with critical acclaim,[8] and entered the UK Albums Chart at no. 7,[9] Sparks' first UK top-ten appearance in over 40 years.[10]
