[[Ace of Base]] is a [[Useful Notes/Sweden|Göteborg]]-based [[Europop]] band with its heyday in [[The Nineties]] and arguably one of the most prominent Swedish pop music exports right after the likes of [[ABBA]] and [[Roxette]].
 
The greatest merit of [[Ace of Base]] was their début Album ''Happy Nation'' (called ''The Sign'' in certain other markets) that found its way into Guiness World Records in 1995 as the best-ever sold début studio album with, until then, 21 million sold copies (which have become 24 in the meantime). <ref>This record has been beaten twice in the meantime; the début album of [[Guns N' Roses]] from 1987 (six years before Happy Nation) proved to show higher longevity in sales and subsequently overtook the Swedes, while both were eventually overshadowed by the début album of [[Linkin Park]] from 2000 onwards.</ref>
