Aqua (1996-2001/2008-2012/2016) is a Danish bubblegum pop group who are extremely famous not only in Denmark, but worldwide. They’ve sold a total of 28 million albums and singles worldwide. The group consists of Lene Nystrøm, René Dif, Søren Rasted, and ex-member Claus Norreen. The group is most known for their massive single “Barbie Girl”.

The group members met in 1988 and were going to be called Joyspeed. The band formed in 1994 and their first single was “Itsy Bitsy Spider”. The single was a commercial failure and failed to chart in other countries. After this failure, the group left their label to go to record label company Universal and changed their name to Aqua.
