New Arrival


New Arrival is the fourth and final studio album by the A-Teens, released in 2003. The album consists of six songs previously released on Pop 'til You Drop!, with "Let Your Heart Do All the Talking" featuring a lightly different ending on this album, along with six new previously unreleased songs. Some special editions include the bonus tracks "Can't Help Falling in Love", the ballad version of "Heartbreak Lullaby" or in Japan, the Pop 'til You Drop! song "Hi and Goodbye". New Arrival features new artwork, new tracks and some of the tracks included on Pop 'til You Drop! were remixed to add a Europop feeling. Marie said, "We wanted to present a totally new album for the European market, because some of our hard core fans already imported Pop 'til You Drop!, so we wanted to give them something new."
The album title is a reference and dedication to ABBA's 1976 fourth studio album, Arrival, leaving it the only remaining reference to ABBA.
Other covers featured on the album include Shirley & Company's "Shame, Shame, Shame" and The Box Tops' "The Letter".
Once again, the A-Teens were involved in the writing of this album including new tracks written by them, and they also participated on the artwork and design. The first single "Floorfiller" was released in October 2002 in Europe, but it was not until January 28, 2003 when the album was released in Sweden reaching number four on the albums chart, with their visit to Mexico in the Spring of that year. The album was released in some Latin American countries on March 17, 2003, reaching number seven on the Mexican International Albums Chart after a few weeks inside the top 10. The album was released in the summer of 2003 in Germany with minimal success.
