Europe was the first Swedish hard-rock band to gain recognised success worldwide. With rock anthems like "The Final Countdown,” "Rock the Night" and "Carrie.” This band climbed the charts in the mid-80s in 26 countries, selling around 8 million copies of “The Final Countdown,” before the Grunge Era appeared and replaced the “rock and roll” lifestyle in the early 90's “The Final Countdown” is played everywhere nowadays, became the unofficial theme song of the Detroit Pistons, The boys met up and played “The Final Countdown” live on the eve of the new century in Stockholm Sweden in front of almost a million people. This event led to the reunion of the band, which had taken a break since around 1992. Joey Tempest, the main writer of the song, put it this way: "This song has its own life.” At the moment, beginning of 2007, the band is on their second world tour since starting up again in 2004 with their album, Start From the Dark.
