Ace of Base is the third best-selling band from Sweden after ABBA and Roxette. They are estimated to have sold 32 million albums and 15 million singles worldwide. They won a number of awards and broken many records. Their first album The Sign was given the Guinness World Record for “Best-Selling Debut Album”. Combined sales of Happy Nation and The Sign are thought to have now reached 23 million. It reached the number 1 position in at least sixteen countries: Argentina, Australia, Canada, Chile, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, United Kingdom and United States.
Ace Of Base’s very first single was ”Wheel Of Fortune”, followed by the major worldwide hit ”All That She Wants”. ”The Sign” and ”Don’t Turn Around” also became international hits. The band first made it in Denmark, then the rest of Scandinavia, Germany, the rest of Europe and Asia before conquering The US and Canada.
In all, the debut album ”Happy Nation/The Sign” sold 23 million copies and remains in the Guinness book of records as the best-selling debut album ever. Achieving numerous of awards such as 6 World Music Awards, 3 Billboard Awards, 3 America Music Awards, several different European Grammis Awards and two American Grammy nominations! To mention a few!
On April 2 1994 both album and single ”The Sign” topped the Billboard Top 100 Charts simultaneously. ”The Sign” remains number 3 at the Billboard’s Greatest Hits chart (Top 100 Billboard 100th Anniversary August 4th 1958 – June 25 1994), only beaten by Whitney Houston’s ”I Will Always Love You” and Boy’z’2Men’s ”End Of The Road”. When Billboard summed up the most sold albums of the 20th century, ”Happy Nation”/”The Sign” ended up top ten, being the most popular non-American album of all time… Their second album ”The Bridge” sold 5 million copies, a number most musicians only dream of.
Their third album’s (”Flowers”/”Cruel Summer”) first single ”Life Is A Flower” was an immediate success. It got an award for the most played song on European radio in 1998. Three of the singles from ”Flowers” reached top ten in England, where the band have performed on the famous show Top Of the Pops an astonishing 18 times!
In the autumn of 1999 the greatest hits album ”Singles Of The 90’s was released, including all the band’s worldwide hits and some new songs. ”Everytime It Rains” had only been included on the ”Cruel Summer” album and was previously unreleased in Europe.
In the early autumn of 2002, the band returned with the album, “Da Capo” – They’re first with all-new material since ”Flowers/Cruel Summer” (1998). The new album combined the group’s classic pop sound with new, more thoughtful dimensions.
