Europe sold over 23 million albums worldwide. Europe went on hiatus in 1992, reunited temporarily for a one-off performance in Stockholm on New Year's Eve 1999 and announced an official reunion in 2003. In September 1985, Europe was approached by an executive from Epic Records. They helped Europe start the recording of its next album with Journey producer Kevin Elson. The result was The Final Countdown. Released on 26 May 1986, the album gave the band its international breakthrough, was certified Triple Platinum in the USA. In mid-2017 Europe announced their eleventh studio album, titled Walk The Earth. The album was released on October 20th via CD with bonus DVD and digital download.
