Halfway Around The World was A*Teens' second single from their second album "Teen Spirit".

After traveling literally halfway around the world promoting their album "Teen Spirit", they released the second single, with medium success. The single peaked at number-seven in Sweden after a few weeks inside the Top Ten earning a Gold Certification. [ [http://www.ifpi.se/02.images/01.top/02.subnav_pdf/04.guld_platina/pdf/2001.pdf IFPI Certifications in 2001] ] The song charted well in Asia and Latin America, it peaked at number-nine in Mexico, number-seventeen in Argentina and number-thirteen in Chile.

The single was released with the B-Side "Can't Stop The Pop" which was first released on the Japanese edition of the album.

The single was delayed in the United Kingdom along with the album. When it finally got released it only reached to number-thirty. The album never entered in the Charts.

Music Video

The video premiered in February 2001 and it was directed by Mikadelica. It shows the A*Teens in different parts of the world (Peru, Paris, somewhere in the North [possibly Canada] , and China) and the action takes place in different seasons, but all of this ends up taking place on a set for a film shooting. There is also a love story between a two staff members. It has 751,962 views on Youtube as of 14, Aug 2008 [ [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7WhO8GoQFA Halfway Around the World on YouTube] ] .
