ACE OF BASE
Jonas "Joker" Berggren began songwriting with Ulf "Buddha" Ekberg and, once they invited the former's sisters Jenny and Malin ("Linn") to join as vocalists in 1990, Ace Of Base was formed.  
1992 saw the issue of the Swedish act's debut single "Wheel Of Fortune". Follow-up "All That She Wants" would eventually top charts in Britain, Canada and Australia. The track peaked at #2 in America and Europe. "Happy Nation", the title track from the group's debut album, was a major hit in Europe.
In 1993, "The Sign" was an even bigger hit, going to #1 in America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and parts of Europe. It was a #2 hit in the UK. The group received 3 Grammy Award nominations, including Best New Artist. 
By the release of 'Flowers' ('Cruel Summer' in some territories) in 1998, cracks were starting to emerge, with Jenny assuming a larger role as lead singer. 2002's 'Da Capo' was the final studio album to feature the original line-up. In 2007, it was announced that Linn was no longer a member of the group.
Ace Of Base continued on as a trio until 2009 when Jenny quit to go solo. The remaining 2 male members recruited new singers to replace the 2 sisters and adopted the name Ace.of.Base. This configuration released 'The Golden Ratio' in 2010.
Jonas and Ulf revealed in 2014 that the 2 replacement singers were no longer in the group. 'Hidden Gems', a collection of B-sides and demos, was unleashed in 2015. This remains the most recent release from Ace Of Base.
