Information About ™Flowers (ace Of Base Album) |
''Flowers'' is the third Album by Swedish Pop Music group, Ace Of Base . It was released on July 14 , 1998 in Europe, Asia, and Africa. An American version, titled '' Cruel Summer '', was released on September 1 , later that year, but is generally considered inferior. The American version contained remixes of several of the original songs, and one new track. Britain, Japan, and Australia received hybrid versions of the two albums, but which retained the original title. SALES AND CHARTS The ''Flowers'' album spawned the massively successful single, "Life is a Flower", the most heavily played radio single of 1998, and Top 10 hits "Cruel Summer" and "Always Have, Always Will". The corresponding U.S. album sold poorly, and was the last original Ace of Base album released there. ''Flowers'' is estimated to have sold more than three million copies worldwide. The ''Flowers'' album received gold certifications in Sweden and Denmark, and was certified platinum in Switzerland. The album was a top ten hit in Denmark, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Sweden and Switzerland. Singles from the album were also highly successful, earning the band top ten positions in the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Hungary, Italy, Russia, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and, oddly, Brazil, where the album was not even released.
