A*Teens

A*Teens (or A-Teens) is a pop music group from Stockholm, Sweden, formed in 1998. They were first called ABBA Teens, but the members of the band wanted to be able to create their own music, and not be solely based around ABBA. So, they shortened their name to A*Teens. In 1999, they released their first album ABBA Generation consisting purely of ABBA covers. During that year, the A-Teens toured some with N-Sync, and even were on a few shows with headliner Britney Spears. After they released their second album, Teen Spirit, a year later, they toured in the US with Aaron Carter. Their penultimate album in the US, Pop 'Til You Drop, also known in Europe and Asia as New Arrival, was released in 2002. The group headlined their own tour that year with Play, LMNT and Jump 5. Their lastest album Greatest Hits was released in Europe in 2004, which left some American fans to waiting in anticipation for the next release from the group. In this album, they have a couple new songs, including a cover of Nick Kamen's single I Promised Myself. In late 2004, Dhani Lennevald released his first single as a solo artist titled Girl Talk.

Their video for the ABBA cover "Dancing Queen" bears an unmistakable likeness plotwise to the 1985 John Hughes film The Breakfast Club. In addition the principal in the music video was played by Paul Gleason, the same actor who was the principal in the movie.
