ABBA were so popular in the 1970's that they were considered to be Sweden's #1 export. They were offered 1 Billion dollar$ to reunite and tour again in the year 2000, which they turned down. They were one of my guilty pleasures.

[@danielolson5378]

I think Anni-Frid, Björn and Benny might have accepted a reunion but never Agnetha. She was never really comfortable beeing a like superstar while touring the world and at the same time beeing away from her kids. After their split-up although officially it was only a hiatus she kept a very low profile. She did some solo records but very few interviews just lived her life outside of Stockholm.

ABBA is not only the greatest musical act ever to come from Sweden, but one of the best male/female groups of all time. There are so many great songs. And their songs always lift the spirits and elevate one's mood. Dancing Queen is their signature tune. But there are so many others. I will list only a few of them. Waterloo, Mamma Mia, Take a Chance on Me, Money, Money, Money, The Winner Takes It All, SOS, I Have a Dream.

[@angelomaurizio1668]

ABBA became known after winning a popular music contest in Europe in 1974 with a song called 'Waterloo'. The group of four represnted their native country of Sweden and competed against other European countries. Released in August 1976, 'Dancing Queen' would go on to hit Number one on the Billboard charts in 14 different countries including the United States in April of '77. It would be ABBA's only Number one hit in the US. ABBA's genre is well known as EuroPop/Disco.

[@danielolson5378]

In the early 70s everything in Sweden was so red in a political way and the music was no acception! Music wasn't supposed to be polish or popular but rather political. Well ABBA broke all the taboos cause they said they wanted to became huge, rich and famous! When they arrived at the scene so to speak they filled a glap in Swedish music. There's a urban legend here that says back then it was concidered a band thing to like ABBA. It has been debunked cause every album did sell either gold or platinum here.

[@sumonjamal1653]

Abba ("ah bah") emerged from Sweden in the 70's, the pop group comprised of 2 couples - 2 female singers w/ 2 male songwriters... They became a phenomenon globally and their records sold millions of copies long after Abba disbanded in the early 80's. Bjorn and Benny were the men who became friends in Sweden's music scene and started collaborating on new music, opting to switch to English lyrics to have a wider appeal... Bjorn met a blonde singer Agnetha and they married; at the same time, Benny met a brunette singer Anni-Frid (Frida) and got engaged... They decided to record songs w/ the ladies singing in harmony (Bjorn also sang some lead vocals) but were unsure of a name. The decided to name the group Abba, combining the first letters of their names - Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny, Anni-Frid... and in 1974, they won a TV contest called Eurovision w/ their song 'Waterloo' (after releasing 2 albums in Sweden)... Abba was signed internationally soon after. Abba released their international debut album 'Abba' in 1975 and it became an instant hit w/ the pop singles - 'Mama Mia'... 'S.O.S.'... 2nd album 'Arrival' in 1976 made Abba superstars as the single 'Dancing queen' became a hit in America... along w/ the songs - 'Knowing me, knowing you'... "That's me"... Abba diversified their songs w/ different styles of popular music, including theater. Touring became a priority and it was tough on Abba, given Agnetha and Bjorn had a child together... In 1977, Abba released a movie ('Abba - the movie') combining the groups backstage and onstage footage w/ a fictional reporter seeking an interview w/ Abba... It was accompanied by the record 'Abba - the album'... which scored hits like - 'Take a chance on me'... 'Eagle' ... 'Thank you for the music'... However, the crush of fame brought about Abba's personal turmoil and pressure to write and record took a toll... Benny and Frida married in 1978 but Bjorn and Agnetha split up that year and eventually divorced... Benny and Frida would split up by 1980. Abba released the album 'Voulez-vous' in 1979 ('voo lay voo') and it became a hit w/ the singles - 'Chiquitita' ... 'Does your mother know' ... 'Voulez-vous'... as well as the non-album single - 'Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!' ... Abba toured the world for the last time. With the couples' relationships strained, they still worked together to complete the album 'Super Trouper' in 1980 and without a tour, it showed a decline in sales, despite hits like - 'The winner takes it all' ... 'Super Trouper' ... 'Happy new year'... Bjorn remarked that their later songs were some of the best because of the sadness from their breakups. Abba released 'The Visitors' in 1981 and it would be their last record before the group parted ways in 1983... It had the singles - 'One of us' ... 'Head over heels' ... 'When all is said and done'... Abba's final singles were released by '83. Bjorn and Benny worked behind the scenes making music... but both Agnetha and Frida walked away from the music business after brief solo careers... Agnetha retreated to Sweden and stayed isolated for decades... Abba's music began selling again in the 90's w/ greatest hits releases like 'Abba Gold'... and their catalog was reissued. In 2021, Abba announced that the group had reunited in the studio & recorded a new (and likely final) album 'Voyage' and promoted it w/ a virtual experience in a venue in London.

ABBA is one of the most successful groups of all time. Yes it is considered Pop music. In the 70s they were huge in many countries. But not quite so much in the US where they were derided as Bubble Gum Pop. However they have stood the test of time. They originally stopped recording as a group in the early 80s. But only a few years ago they came out with a new album after 40 years! And they still have it. Their song catalog is vast and wonderful. Definitely a rabbit hole you should go down.

[@kbrewski1]

Never even HEARD of ABBA? Even for a 20 something that's stunning. Just a few years ago there was a Broadway play based on their music, and even more recently a movie. There are commercials with their music etc. How are you possibly that insulated from pop culture that you would not even hear a song on the radio or at a party or just hear people talk about them? Wow.

A surprising number of these 20-somethings have never heard of the Beatles. So not surprising they don't know ABBA.

[@pjg58x]

It is surprising when people have never heard of artists like the Beatles or Elvis but I think we all need to think back to when we were in our 20s. I’m sure there were some icons in music or film that we had never heard of either which older people would have been surprised about. I can see how one her age has not heard of ABBA. ABBA is only played on oldies stations and younger people don’t listen to the radio anymore anyway. Their parents may not be ABBA fans so may not have played them at home. It’s not like ABBA is all over TV either. They may have heard of Mamma Mia but hace no idea what it is. When I was growing up I only really knew current music or whatever albums my mom had. As I got older I started to discover all kinds of music.

[@nygener]

Hi Mia. The 80's were fun. We used to go to the clubs here in NY and danced all night from Thursday evening till Sunday in the morning. We would go to a club then to the after hours club then to the after after hours club.

You look like someone that WOULD HAVE had a lot of fun in the clubs back then 💃🕺

[@dafyddrhobert2414]

Before they came together, the individual members of ABBA were already very popular in Sweden. Their worldwide break came with the Eurovision Song Contest from Brighton with Waterloo. Most of the songs were composed by Benny and Bjorn, who provided complex accompaniments. The singing contains many harmonies in thirds, which makes the distinct ABBA vocal lines. The rhythm section, along with the piano, provides the forward movement in this performance. They were one of the first bands to make videos to publicise their songs. From the late 70s to early 90s they dominated pop music.

[@loverofstories-12P]

Hi Mia, glad you got to enjoy this song! I remember this song playing at the RollerRinks in the 90s. It has a great rhythm like you are dancing to. They are a fantastic band, I encourage you to check out some of their other songs, The Winner Takes All, Fernando, & Mama Mia.

[@seannovack3834]

Hey Mia. The term you are searching for is "belting". Belting is a singing technique that involves using the chest voice to produce a powerful, resonant sound. It's often described as a "high chest voice" or "mixed voice", but it's actually a descriptive term for a specific way of using the vocal registers. Belting is a contemporary technique that's used in many genres, including pop, rock, jazz, and folk. It's most commonly associated with musical theater, where Broadway singers project their voices to fill large venues. Belting is different from classical singing techniques, which can also produce a powerful sound. Belting is derived from speech, and it can be heard well even when it's not amplified.

[@TheEWFX29]

To you maybe but not to younger people. Music doesn't mean much to them. Its background music. They listen to music played during video games. No one is waiting for new music by anyone or their concerts. It just music played in the background of something else. Its not hard to accept when you realize they dont listen to the radio or listen to music. Its a new generation. Most dont know the Beatles never mind ABBA.

They had hit after hit after hit. Once they broke through globally, which was very difficult for a Swedish band back then, they dominated the rest of the 70s and early 80s and were absolutely huge practically everywhere except the US. They are still huge to this day, with the Mamma Mia musical and movies and their new digital avatar concert in London which is mindblowingly good. They are the second best selling band of all time and Dancing Queen is one of the most well known songs of the last 50 years, if not the most well known. BUT you're in for a big treat if you keep listening to them, they are a rare band that almost only made great songs. And they made quite a few. Chiquitita is my favorite song of theirs.

Agnetha and Anni-Frid, who sings in ABBA, are extremely good vocalists. no autotune at that time as most of the artists today uses.

You haven't heard of ABBA, they are only 2nd best selling group of all time next to the Beatles.

"Dancing Queen" (1976) was way before Freddie Krueger ("Nightmare On Elm Street"), which came out in 1984. Amazingly, this was Abba's only number one hit on the BIllboard Hot 100 chart.
