Ace of Base are widely regarded as one of the most iconic Swedish pop groups of all time. The group achieved wild success after their four studio albums released between 1992 and 2002 sold an incredible 30 million copies across the globe, setting them up to be a force to be reckoned with on a global scale.
Debut album Happy Nation swiftly went nine-times platinum in the United States, attaining a reputation as one of the most successful debut releases the world has ever seen. This massive success was undoubtedly due to the unique style, passion and creativity with which they curated their art, as three singles from this compilation quickly became a fan favorite in the U.K. The powerful renditions “All That She Wants”, “The Sign” and “Don’t Turn Around” were an unstoppable trend that captured the airwaves along with the hearts of many listeners across the world. With each of them hitting the No. 1 status on the Billboard mainstream Top 40 chart, their career took off with a remarkable start that would see the group become a household name with audiences around the world.
The huge reception from fans served as an even bigger boost for this unstoppable band as they kicked off their mainstream career, performing to fans all over the world. While Ace of Base has seen members come and go, the original founding members have always been a pivotal part of the crew. Though they’ve taken several breaks from touring and recording, the group continue to perform, and their influence on modern pop music cannot be overstated: artists such as Katy Perry and Lady Gaga have cited them as inspirations.
