Pop 'til You Drop!
Pop 'til You Drop! is the third studio album by Swedish pop group A-Teens, released in 2002 exclusively for the U.S. market. Recorded between 2001 and 2002 in Stockholm, Sweden, Pop 'til You Drop! provide a more American-driven sound rather than just Europop. For the first time, the A-Teens participated on the writing of the tracks and the design of the album and image. It was released as an American only release on June 18, 2002, in the hype of the promotion of the first single, the Elvis Presley cover "Can't Help Falling in Love", which was part of the soundtrack of Disney's movie Lilo & Stitch. The album also consists of six songs later released on their third full-length studio album New Arrival, with "Let Your Heart Do All the Talking" having an early altered version with a slightly different ending on this album in contrast to the New Arrival version, the song "This Year" which later appeared on the Kim Possible soundtrack, along with four new previously unreleased songs.

The album peaked at #45 on the Billboard charts after their first headlining tour in the United States.
Soon after, the album was released in Mexico, Argentina and other countries in Asia and Latin-America.
The album spawned one more hit single "Floorfiller". Both "Floorfiller" and "Can't Help Falling in Love" were released in Europe despite that the album was never released there (although many import copies were available). Some promo copies of the album that were released in the United States included the bonus track "Have a Little Faith in Me" but this track was never commercially released until 2003 when their third album New Arrival was released.
