The ABBA Tribute Group ABBA-Teens

avatar

Back in 1999, an ABBA tribute group came to existence with an entire album of covers from, of course, ABBA. They were called A-Teens, a name they had focused on from their second album. They were initially called as ABBA Teens on their debut album which was "The ABBA Generation".

The group's first album was well received in European countries particularly in their homeland Sweden. The lead single was "Mamma Mia", which became a number 1 hit in the country. So far, it reached number 12 in UK Singles Chart. "Super Trouper" was released as their second album, and it reached number 2 in Sweden. It became the second of two singles to chart in UK peaking at number 21.
