"Formed in 1998 to celebrate the 25-year anniversary of ABBA winning Eurovision with 'Waterloo', teens Amit Paul, Dhani Lennevald, Marie Serneholt and Sara Lumholdt entered A*Teens as an ABBA tribute group. But after their slew of ABBA covers reached the top 40 around the world - 'Mamma Mia' hit number one in their homeland - the group decided to stick about for a bit, releasing original hit singles."
"Produced by the creative team behind Loreen's Eurovision-winning single 'Tattoo', 'Iconic' is an absolute pop stonker, a sort of Steps-meets-Calvin Harris floor-filler. It's got more than its writers and producers in common with 'Tattoo'; it could also be the song that takes the band to Eurovision, the song contest where they circuitously began."
"In 2024, they reunited to mark 25 years since they were formed, and perform at Melodifestivalen, Sweden's Eurovision act selection contest. The buzz of being on stage never went again, and they've been chasing the high ever since. Now, they're back at Melodifestivalen, this time as contestants."
A*Teens, a Swedish pop group formed in 1998 as an ABBA tribute act, is making a major comeback after a 20-year hiatus. The group, consisting of Amit Paul, Dhani Lennevald, Marie Serneholt, and Sara Lumholdt, achieved global success in the early 2000s with both ABBA covers and original hits like 'Upside Down' and 'Floorfiller'. They toured with Britney Spears and became defining acts of their era before disbanding in 2006. After reuniting in 2024 to commemorate 25 years since their formation, they released 'Iconic', produced by the team behind Loreen's Eurovision-winning 'Tattoo'. The group now competes at Melodifestivalen, Sweden's Eurovision selection contest, aiming to represent Sweden at the international competition.
