Page "Ace of Base" Paragraph 16

Singles of the 90s, a compilation of sixteen hit singles was released in November 1999.

Its first single, " C ' est La Vie ( Always 21 )," went on to become a surprise number 1 hit in Spain.

Attempting to capitalize on the success of the previous single, " Hallo Hallo " was released with special remixes just for the Spanish market.

The album's marketing push closed with the limited radio-only single release of " Love in December ".

" Everytime It Rains ", previously included on the Cruel Summer album was released as a radio single in the US the following year in remixed-form ( pushed by Clive Davis ) in order to promote a new Greatest Hits album for the American market, which failed to chart, selling fewer than 5, 000 copies in its first week.

It completed the band's four-album contract with Arista Records and was not renewed.

" Hallo Hallo " was planned initially to be the first single from this American compilation, but in the end it was not included on the album at all.

" C ' est La Vie ( Always 21 )" was the only new recording included on the U. S. release.

Two old remixes of both " Lucky Love " and " Beautiful Life " were also included.
