A*Teens' Journey: ABBA Tributes to New Music in 2026

Formed in 1998, the Swedish group A*Teens began their musical journey as an ABBA tribute act. Their debut album, 'The ABBA Generation,' featuring modernized ABBA hits, achieved international acclaim. Following this success, they released their first album of original songs, 'Teen Spirit,' which also became a hit, including popular singles like 'Upside Down.'

A third album of original material, 'Pop 'Til You Drop!,' was released in the U.S. in June 2002, marking their significant success outside of Sweden. This album included covers of notable songs and was later re-released worldwide as 'New Arrival.' After touring with major artists, the A*Teens disbanded in April 2006 to pursue solo careers.
