Not if you don’t call anything below top-40 ’hits’.
Anyway, they used to translate their Swedish albums into English. Some of their Swedish stuff is ok (like Hagnesta Hill, especially the second single off it, sorry can’t recall the title). The English stuff was just annoying!!
Overall, they’re not really my type of music.

1 Army Of Lovers
2 Ace Of Base
3 The Cardigans (the stuff since Gran Turismo)
4 Abba
5 ...umm... can’t think of any! Anything ’rocky’ out of Sweden is awful! - - Dr Alban? Hahaha

’never heard of them on these shores’
David, they’ve charted here in Blighty once (can’t remember what with for the life of me)- got to mid 60’s on the top 75.
Didn’t Kent get Grammy nominated? (I’m guessing Swedish ones). *goes upstairs and finds her copy of Absolute Music 21*- I think it said something there
