A-Teens

In addition the principal in the movie and in the video is played by the same actor. Claus Norréen would be the quietest of the former members, remixing material for other artists, including Lazyboy's second single "Facts Of Life" under the Danny Red alias. Their video for the ABBA cover "Dancing Queen" bears an unmistakable likeness plotwise to the 1985 John Hughes film "The Breakfast Club". Søren Rasted was a judge on the Danish version of Pop Idol, and would later begin work on the Lazyboy project, releasing "Underpants Go On The Inside" in January 2005 and making #5 in Australia. In late 2004, Dhani Lennevald released his first single as a solo artist titled "Girl Talk". His performance was not as strong, though, and he has since been out of the spotlight. Like many before them, the A-Teens have not achieved success like ABBA has, but then again, what ABBA had was something rare and very hard to recreate. René Dif would also pursue a solo career, releasing "Let It All Out (Push It)" earlier than Lene, in 2002.

In this album, they have a couple new songs, including a cover of Nick Kamen's single "I Promised Myself". Lene fell pregnant in 2004 with Søren's baby, and put her solo career on hold. Finally, their lastest album Greatest Hits was released in Europe in 2004, leaving their American fans waiting for the lastest installment in A-Teens albums. The second single "Pretty Young Thing" was never released. The group went on tour with Play and LYNT that year. The first single would do well, though, "It's Your Duty" making number three in Denmark. After they released their second album, Teen Spirit, a year later, they toured in the US with American pop star 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. Lene Grawford Nystrøm would marry Søren Rasted and then release a solo album, "Play With Me", which flopped in Scandinavia (making number 74 in her native Norway).

In 1999, they released their first album ABBA Generation consisting of ABBA covers. All four members continued working in the music industry. Therefore, not wanting to cause a confrontation with their musical predecessor and icon, they shortened their name to A-Teens. In 2001 lead vocalist Lene would collapse on stage and with the peak of Aqua's popularity passed and relationships within the band weakening, Aqua split up in mid-2001. They were first called the ABBA Teens, but a member of ABBA said that he would sue if they did not change their name. A third release from the album, "Freaky Friday" was planned but was pulled at the last minute. The A-Teens are a pop group from Stockholm, Sweden, formed in 1998. Aqua would then perform at the Eurovision Song Contest of 2001, collaborating with the Safri Duo.

Sara has herpetophobia. This was followed-up by "Around The World", which despite being surprisingly anthemic would flop and make only number 26. Sara is the youngest and smallest member of the group, and is a brunette. The first single release from the album was "Cartoon Heroes", which made number 7 in the UK.

After a year of so out of the spotlight Aqua returned in 2000 with a new album, "Aquarius", and a more matured sound with a larger range of styles. Dhani is the tallest in the group, and has blond hair and blue eyes. The fifth single "Good Morning Sunshine", released in late 1998, performed poorly and made only number 18.

The fourth release would be "My Oh My", which didn't hit number one in the UK but was still a hit. Amit is half-Indian and half-Swedish. The follow-up single "Doctor Jones" would also be a UK number one, as would the third release from Aquarium, "Turn Back Time". "Turn Back Time" was taken from the Sliding Doors soundtrack and featured a less 'helium-induced' sound, gaining a lot of radio airplay.

The single would hit number one across Europe and would also be successful Stateside, going platinum in the US and becoming a rare million seller in the UK. Marie Eleonor Serneholt (picture) (http://czech.jinak.cz/lars/php/news/images/startup/marie_serneholt_1.jpg), born July 11, 1983. The first single released from it was "Barbie Girl", a pop song seemingly about the children's toy but with 'double-meanings' which resulted in Barbie makers Mattel filing a lawsuit against the group (the lawsuit was dismissed in 2003).

In 1997 the group became known as Aqua and recorded the "Aquarium" album. The single performed poorly and the group decided to re-think their plans for success. Originally known as Joyspeed, the group formed in 1995 and released a debut single called "Itzy Bitsy Spider" in Sweden and Denmark. Aqua was a Scandinavian pop-dance band which consisted of Lene Grawford Nystrøm (born 2 October 1973, Tønsberg, Norway), René Dif (born 17 October 1967, Copenhagen, Denmark) and Claus Norréen (born 5 June 1970, Charlottenlund, Denmark) and Søren Rasted (born 13 June 1969, Blovstrød, Denmark).
