<font><font><font><font><font>The A*Teens were a successful pop music group from Stockholm, Sweden, formed in 1998 as an ABBA tribute called the ABBA Teens. The band's debut album, "the ABBA Generation," became a success around the world. From that point, the band started to release their own original songs.
The band's second album, entitled "Teen Spirit", debuted at number-two in the Swedish Charts, reached the top ten in other countries, entered at number eighty-three on the World Charts, number-thirteen on the European Albums Chart, number-fourteen on CNN'S WorldBeat Album Charts and peaked at number-fifty in the United States selling over 60,000 copies in its first two weeks, ensuring Gold Status for sales exceeding the 500,000 copies in the United States alone. Prior to the release of the album, the A*Teens became one of the first bands to broadcast one of their shows on MSN's Websites.
In May 2002 the band announced the first single to be taken from their new album would be Elvis Presley's cover "Can't Help Falling In Love" to be launched to radios that month, and would also serve as the soundtrack of the the new Disney movie "Lilo & Stitch." On June 18 their third studio album, "Pop 'Til You Drop!" was released exclusively in the United States.
On January 27 the album, entitled “New Arrival” (a throwback to the ABBA album entitled Arrival), was released. Sales for "New Arrival" were lower than expected, selling less than 350,000 copies worldwide. The band still got a nomination in the Swedish Hit Music Awards for "Swedish artist/group of the year".
After six years together, the band announced they would take a break in 2004 after the release of their "Greatest Hits" album. The split of the band was officially announced on 15 April 2006 and the band members have all started to pursue solo careers.
