It’s been a year full of success & accolades for Daft Punk and the reputed Wall Street Journal magazine seems to agree as it awarded the iconic French duo with its annual ‘Entertainment Innovator Award’.

Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo were handed the award by their ‘Get Lucky’ collaborator Pharrell Williams and Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen, with Gisele even appearing on the cover of WSJ magazine’s innovator issue with the pair.

Their album, ‘Random Access Memories‘ released this year, was their first full-length effort since 2005 and saw them collaborate with some noteworthy names including Pharrell, Nile Rodgers, Todd Edwards and Giorgio Moroder, reaching platinum status in six different countries and becoming Amazon UK’s best-selling vinyl ever. The album’s lead single ‘Get Lucky’ also sold close to three million copies in the United States and over one million in the UK.

Another interesting news which has emerged is that after receiving their awards, the twosome slipped out of their disguises and went unnoticed at the after-party. Now that implies that the Daft Punk “hiding their image” thing has either worked super brilliantly ever since the late 1990s. In any case, this might make the more shy artists want to start donning masks to when they desire to.
