About

“The Sign” is a #1 pop song released October 29, 1993 by Swedish band Ace of Base. The song was taken from the band’s album Happy Nation (which was retitled The Sign in North America). Like the band’s hit “All That She Wants,” “The Sign” also features slickly produced pop beats and reggae-influenced instrumentation. It was an international hit, topping the charts in several countries including the US for six weeks beginning in March 1994, and reaching the top 5 in several more. It was later nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Performance By a Group or Duo in 1995.
