Description

Äntligen – Marie Fredrikssons bästa 1984–2000 is the first greatest hits compilation album by Swedish singer-songwriter Marie Fredriksson. It was compiled by Fredriksson, and contains the majority of her singles, as well as several of her favourite album tracks. It was a commercial success upon release in her native country, spending eight weeks at number 1 on the Sverigetopplistan chart, and eventually being certified triple platinum by the Swedish Recording Industry Association for shipments of almost a quarter of a million units. The album contains every single released by Fredriksson since her 1984 debut album, Het vind, with the exception of three: Het vind’s title track, Silver I Din Hand from 1985’s Den Sjunde Vågen, and the limited edition single Ber Bara En Gång from 1996’s I En Tid Som Vår. Also excluded is her collaboration with former ABBA vocalist Anni-Frid Lyngstad, Alla Mina Bästa År, which was taken from Frida’s album Djupa Andetag (1996) and released as a single in 1997. The record contains two previously unreleased recordings, both of which were released as singles. Äntligen was issued as the lead single, and became a top forty hit in Sweden. A remixed version of the song, re-titled Solen Gick Ner Över Stan, was also included on the album. The remaining song, Det Som Var Nu – a duet with singer-songwriter Patrik Isaksson – was released in Sweden as the second single, where it peaked at number 59. The latter is a Swedish re-recording of a track originally demoed in the late 1990s for Roxette’s 1999 album Have a Nice Day.
