Magic Hotel is the second album by British band Toploader. It follows the successful 1999 album Onka's Big Moka. The album title is a reference to the hotel in which they stayed in Los Angeles when recording the album. The album was released to extreme censure by an array of critics. Toploader are an English alternative rock band from Eastbourne who formed in 1997, with over two million album sales to their name and a string of top 20 hits both home and abroad. Their debut album, Onka's Big Moka, sold over one million units and remained in the Top 5 of the UK Albums Chart for over six months. However, they are recognised most of all for their cover of King Harvest's US hit "Dancing in the Moonlight" written by Sherman Kelly, which became a global hit for the band. Their second album, Magic Hotel, reached number 3 in the UK Albums Chart. Their third album was released in 2012, their comeback single "Turn It Around" was released in 2013.
