+----------------------------------[Notes]-----------------------------------+

| |

| Originally a progressive rock group, Europe didn't achieve any success |

| until they reworked their sound into a bombastic yet melodic pop-metal. |

| In their first incarnation, the Swedish band was called Force. The band |

| — featuring core members Joey Tempest (vocals), John Norum (guitar), and |

| John Leven (bass) — won a national talent contest in the early '80s, |

| which led to a record contract. After changing their name to Europe and |

| releasing two albums in Sweden (Europe and Wings of Tomorrow), the band |

| landed an international deal with Epic Records. By this time, Norum had |

| left the group and was replaced by Kee Marcello; drummer Ian Haughland |

| and keyboardist Michael Michaeli also joined the lineup. |

| |

| In 1986, Europe released The Final Countdown. On the album, Michaeli's |

| keyboards took a prominent role (they provide the main riff in the hit |

| title track), which nicely complimented the band's smoother pop |

| melodies. The change in style proved successful, as the record became a |

| Top Ten hit in the U.S. and U.K.; both "The Final Countdown" and |

| "Carrie" became Top Ten singles as well. Delivered two years later, Out |

| of This World continued the formula of the previous record. It also was |

| a success, although its numbers didn't match those of The Final |

| Countdown. Two years later, Europe released their final album, Prisoners |

| of Paradise, to little attention. |
