Excellence was a Swedish pop girl group from 2001 created through the TV programme Popstars on Kanal 5.[1][2] The group scored a number one album on the Swedish Charts, as well as five top 10 singles, and entered Melodifestivalen 2002.[3] They also collaborated with Markoolio on the official Swedish song for the 2002 Winter Olympics "Vi ska vinna!"[1] Their last single was 'We can dance' which reached top 10 on the charts. The group split shortly after the single was released.[1] Member Ana Johnsson later scored a worldwide solo hit with the song "We Are" from the Spider-Man 2soundtrack and has since then (October 2006) released her second album Little Angel.
