About Aqua

Aqua is a highly recognized Danish-Norwegian eurodance group that rose to international fame in the late 1990s. Known for their infectious, upbeat pop melodies and distinctive cartoonish aesthetic, Aqua became a significant cultural phenomenon, epitomizing the playful and energetic sound of 90s dance-pop. Their groundbreaking success made them the most profitable Danish band ever, selling an estimated 33 million albums and singles worldwide.

  • The group originally formed in 1989 under the name Joyspeed, later renaming themselves Aqua in 1994.
  • Their global smash hit "Barbie Girl" (1997) propelled them to superstardom but also led to a notable lawsuit from Mattel, which was ultimately dismissed in 2002 with the judge famously ruling, "The parties are advised to chill."
  • Beyond "Barbie Girl," Aqua achieved multiple chart-topping singles, including "Doctor Jones" and the more melancholic "Turn Back Time," showcasing their versatility.
  • Aqua's vibrant and often eccentric fashion choices, characterized by colorful and bold outfits, were an integral part of their unique image and reflected their flamboyant musical style.

Playing Aqua's music offers a delightful journey into the heart of 90s pop culture, perfectly suited for pop enthusiasts, vocalists, pianists, and guitarists of intermediate skill levels. Their sheet music allows performers to recreate catchy, energetic anthems like "Barbie Girl" or explore the sentimental depth of tracks such as "Turn Back Time."

Performing Aqua's songs is not only a fun and engaging endeavor but also a fantastic way to evoke nostalgia and get an audience moving.
