Might as well make this a Scandinavian pop trifecta. I haven't followed them after their first U.S. album The Sign (1993) (they have since become international pop superstars), but Sweden's Ace of Base impressed me a lot, not with the singles off this album, which were catchy but did not stand up to massive radio overplay, but with several of the non-singles (or non-US singles). In particular, I recommend "Young and Proud", "Dancer In a Daydream", "Wheel of Fortune", "Happy Nation", and "Voulez-Vous Danser". Hooky, atmospheric dance music with great vocals and textures.
Here's "Happy Nation"
