For those of you who have no idea who the A*Teens are, they are a Swedish Teen Pop group originally named Abba Teens in order to remake the classical hits by ABBA. But after careful reconsideration, they chose the name A*Teens as a way to venture off and create their own identity. Their debut album, however, was compiled of 12 ABBA remakes and named The ABBA Generation. The album garnered favorable reviews and released 4 top 10 singles worldwide including Mamma Mia, Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight) Super Trooper and Dancing Queen. After much success, they went to tour the US with Britney Spears on her ...Baby One More Time Tour as the opening act.Their follow up album, Teen Spirit revealed the group releasing their own material. The album had 3 Singles with the more memorable one being Upside Down. In 2002, they released their 3rd US album Pop 'Til You Drop which featured the Elvis Presley remake of Can't Help Falling In Love. The band then released their 3rd international studio album New Arrival, a throwback to the ABBA album Arrival. The album featured some songs from Pop 'Til You Drop and featured several new songs including singles A Perfect Match and Heartbreak Lullaby. The band officially split in 2004 and released a greatest hits album compiled of all their singles and included 3 new songs. The band went on to become the biggest international teen pop group Sweden has ever produced.
The A*Teens are Marie Serneholt, Sarah Lumholdt, Dhani Lennevald and Amit Paul.
I have listened to their music before and I enjoy it. I am pretty sure that their music videos use to be played on the Disney Channel during commerical breaks ( years ago though).
ReplyDeleteThey remind me of a 90's pop group, but thier music is cachy.
ReplyDeleteCool page I did not know anything about the A Teens until now.
ReplyDeleteI like how you give a little description of the artist and then post the actual video of the song. I like the music and I agree "Music is Life, It's a Natural Fact"
