Ace of Base - Happy Nation 1993

"Happy Nation" is a mid-tempo dance-pop song with strong influences from reggae fusion and euro house, it was recorded by Ace of Base from Gothenburg, Sweden, for their debut album with the same name (1992). Later re-issued as The Sign, the album was certified nine times platinum in the US and was the best-selling album of 1994. One of the most successful debut albums of all time, it was the first to produce three number 1 singles on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40 chart: "All That She Wants", "The Sign" and "Don't Turn Around". Ace of Base is the third most successful Swedish group of all time, behind ABBA and Roxette.

The single peaked within the top 10 across Europe, and reached number 22 in New Zealand, but did not chart in the US.

Most recently it featured heavily in episode five of the X-Men '97 series on Disney+, first aired on April 10, 2024.

"Happy Nation" received a total of 64,2% yes votes!

Looking at the polls from yesterday and today, it looks like the early 90's were a good time for reggae-inspired music by artists from countries not usually associated with reggae. Most notable for today's selection is Sweden's Ace of Base. The group was doing well in their home country, as Europop taking over the airwaves across Europe. The sound wasn't as big in The States, but Ace of Base saw an immense amount of crossover success. As the years go on, Sweden would continue to have a powerful influence over the sound of pop music. Both indirectly, as more American artists start to incorporate the sound of Europop into their music, but directly as well. Cheiron Studios was founded in 1992 by a man going by Denniz Pop. He was one of the producers behind Ace of Base as well as an incredibly-stacked list of artists based both in and outside of his home country (many of whom will definitely make up a large portion of these polls). Sadly, he never got to live past the 90's, but along with Max Martin (another Cheiron Studios producer whose name I'm dropping here as a bit of foreshadowing), his sound and songwriting techniques would come to define this decade in pop music as well as the ones coming after.
