A-Teens

Four young teenagers, Dhani Lennevald, Sara Lumholdt, Amit Paul, and Marie Serneholt met as they were young children at a youth dance company in Stockholm, Sweden. They decided to form the pop music sensation, A-Teens in 1998 according to the official A-Teens website, www.a-teens.com. They originally formed as a tribute band to Swedish pop hit singers ABBA. They first named themselves as ABBA teens and decided to shorten it to A-Teens shortly after as request by two of the original ABBA members so people would know the difference between the groups. Many people mistaken the A-Teens members to be the children of the original ABBA members, but they cleared the air of the misconception that they are not the children of ABBA.

A-Teens released their first album in August 1999, called “The ABBA Generation”. Every song on the album is original cover songs from the ABBA group. The album sold more than 3 million copies across several countries in the world. According to the official A-Teens website, “the A-Teens broke sales records in Sweden with their first single, Mamma Mia, which entered the Swedish charts at #1.”

The hit teen sensation released 3 albums each very different following “The ABBA Generation” called, “Teen Spirit” in 2001, “Pop ‘til You Drop!” in 2002, and “New Arrival” in 2003. These three albums were all songs created by the band itself and not songs from ABBA. However, one of the top hits on their album, “Can’t Help Falling in Love” is an original remake different from Elvis Presley’s smash hit from 1961. The song was played in the Walt Disney movie, Lilo and Stich. When touring in Thailand in 2001 the band found to their surprise that their faces were on 15 million Coca-Cola cans as the first international artists to appear on soda cans.

After six strenuous years together touring around the world, the A-Teens decided to take a break in 2004. However, right before their break, the teen pop band came out with a Greatest Hits Album, which listed sixteen of their greatest songs of all time. The album was released across the several countries in the world on May 12, 2004.
