* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The group's first two releases were extremely rare privately-pressed 7" [=EP=]s, ''The World According to The Cardigans'' and ''In Pursuit of Pooh''. They're badly-recorded, suffer enormously from EarlyInstallmentWeirdness (not least because although FaceOfTheBand Nina is present, she only sings lead on one track) and are incredibly fascinating historical artefacts. They've never been officially reissued, and only two of the eight songs ever reappeared (in re-recorded versions: "Pooh Song" and what was arguably their SignatureSong before "Lovefool" came along, "Rise and Shine").

* ChartDisplacement: Their biggest hit in their native Sweden is... a cover of [[Music/TalkingHeads "Burning Down the House"]], which reached #2! "Lovefool" was also rather unsuccessful there, hitting only #15 (though "My Favourite Game" managed to score high, #3).

* OneHitWonder: They sometimes suffer from this label, with the one hit being "Lovefool", but both "My Favourite Game" and "Erase Rewind" charted in many places, and the band have had a fairly substantial long-term career.

Added DiffLines:

* BlackSheepHit: "Lovefool" has an almost disco-ish musical feel, and stands out as unusual even on its parent album. However, unlike many Black Sheep Hits, the band never turned against it.
* CreatorBacklash: Magnus Sveningsson doesn't like some of his early lyrics. This is why the singles "Black Letter Day" and "Hey! Get Out Of My Way" aren't on their ''Best of'' album.
