The band's first two released songs, "All That She Wants" and "Wheel Of Fortune", reached number one and two on the Danish sales charts before the band's music videos and other promotional material were released.

 

This was followed by the group's album "The Sign", which conquered the top of the world music charts. The success of the album in Sweden was overwhelming, in that year it even brought in more revenue than the national car company Volvo.

 

In the 1990s, the band continued to record singles such as "Beautiful Life", "Lucky Love", "Cruel Summer" and "Life Is a Flower". By 2002, ACE OF BASE had sold a total of 30 million copies of their first four studio albums, becoming the third most successful Swedish music group of all time after ABBA and ROXETTE.

Down Low's second single "Vision of Life" became a popular hit in several European countries.

Rapper Joe Thompson and the Down Low project are a legend of the 90s, known for such world-famous mega-hits as "Johnny B", "Murder". DOWN LOW is credited as one of the first successful bands to combine mid-nineties European style hip hop along with acts such as C-Block and Nana.
