. A-TEENS are Amit, Dhani, Marie and Sara. 4 talented youngsters who came out of nowhere to pick up the torch from ABBA and keep it going in a successful way. The story of A-TEENS began as a tale of four minds determined to make it, and is now a story of records figures in the sales charts. One example is their debut single Mamma Mia, that went straight in at number one and in the course of six weeeks sold 120 000 copies in Sweden alone. The success repeated itself with the second single from A-TEENS album The ABBA Generation; Super Trouper. It went gold in less than two days and became "the hit of the week on loads of TV-channels and radio stations. The album The ABBA Generation was released on the 25th of August, instantly conquered the number one spot on the album chart and has been sitting safely in that position for more than four weeks. The album The ABBA Generation contains eleven of Abbas greatest songs. Marie explains her view on A-TEENS and ABBA; Its enormous fun to sing and dance to ABBAs songs. Mixing the music of today with ABBAs fantastic songs is exciting. We see ourselves as a great tribute to ABBA, she says. I suppose our generation sometimes hasnt realized ABBAs greatness. Dhani continues; Its been fairly difficult to sing the songs. Most of the time the melodies are familiar to those listening, because we - more or less - grew up with these songs. Theyre a part of your backbone. Once youre in the studio recording you start to realize how incredibly complex and well-written ABBAs music is. Its fantastic, he smiles. Right now the world-wide marketing of A-TEENS is in full swing. In England and the rest of Europe it has already started and in all of the countries where the album has been released so far, the sales-figures have been impressing. After a couple of visits to England with loads of meetings with the press and performances the band has started to make a name for themselves. During October the band will travel around the rest of Europe, and the U.S and Japan will follow in November. A-TEENS have had their greatest success so far in Scandinavia, England, Holland, Belgium and Germany. Behind A-TEENS is Stockholm Records, which also stands behind artists such as The Cardigans, E-Type, Stakka Bo, Antiloop, Lok and Blues. . .
