Ace of Base

Sweden, 1990–2010

Swedish pop group formed in Gothenburg in 1990 (the Berggren siblings with Ulf Ekberg). Their trademark 'China reggae' — glossy Europop melodies over a reggae offbeat, polished by producer Denniz Pop — made Happy Nation / The Sign one of the best-selling debut albums ever, with 'All That She Wants' and 'The Sign' topping charts worldwide.
