When The Final Countdown was released in 1986, the album became a global sensation. The title track topped the charts in 25 countries, the album sold multi-platinum, and stayed on the American Billboard chart for over 60 weeks. In the digital era, its success continues: in 2022, Europe became the first Swedish band to reach one billion views on YouTube for a single song – and today the video is approaching 1.4 billion views.
The upcoming The Final Countdown 40th Anniversary Tour will visit 12 countries and offer a unique concert experience. Europe will perform a career-spanning set that concludes with them playing the entire The Final Countdown album in full, only for the second time in the band’s history.
