I love how Katy Boyle announces 'no doubt about it'... before declaring the winners, and that the phrase turned out to be one of their final tracks!

Abba 1972 - 1982, the first decade in the career of the Swedish pop quartet that claims to have sold more albums worldwide (well over 100 million) than any group since the Beatles. With 23 songs sequenced chronologically, the two-disk set traces the development of Abba's sound from a jingly hard-edged pop toward a grander, texturally more expansive mode of synthesizer pop. Abba's success is attributable above all to its irresistible tunes. Written mostly by the group's songwriter-producers and instrumentalists Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, Abba's melodies have the indelible charm of Christmas carols like ''Jingle Bells.'' These assertive, happy melodies that practically flaunt their cliched turns of phrase, are ideally suited to Abba's lead singers Agnetha Faltskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad, both sopranos with clear, light voices and careful diction. Just as Abba's songs seem remote from any sense of personal involvement, the women in the group sing from the polite distance of choirmistresses. The combination of simplicity and formality in Abba's music jibes with the group's goal of crafting a global pop style that's a sort of pop music answer to Esperanto. Instead of Swedish, the group has written and recorded most of its material in a grammatically correct but nonidiomatic English, using the simplest of vocabularies. Pronounced phonetically, the lyrics become a kind of computer language, made all the more abstract by Abba's faraway pose of gleaming angelic cordiality. The earliest songs on the anthology, ''Ring Ring,'' ''So Long, ''Waterloo'' and ''I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do'' echo American hits from the late 50's and early 60's by Pat Boone, Connie Francis and other singers who used rock and roll as the basis of a tinny, blandsounding American pop. ''Waterloo,'' the international hit that launched the group when it won the Eurovision song contest in 1974, is their most appealing early song, with its peppy marching tune and grand choral vocal arrangement. As Abba's sound grew more spacious, the group's aural models became more fashionable. The exuberant female choruses and airy textures of such hits as ''Knowing Me, Knowing You,'' ''SOS'' and ''The Name of the Game,'' look back to the producer Phil Spector's hits with the Ronettes and the Crystals. The harmonized syllabic incantations of songs like ''Take a Chance on Me'' recall such Beachboys hits as ''Barbara Ann'' and ''Good Vibrations.'' During the same period that Abba parodied American rock and roll from the mid-1960's, the group also cultivated specific European markets with songs like ''Mamma Mia,'' ''Chiquitita'' and ''Fernando,'' whose melodies adopted traditional European flavors. With the singles ''Dancing Queen'' and ''Voulez-Vous,'' Abba's music also incorporated Afro-American inflections, as they bowed to the late 70's disco craze. Their verses of ''Dancing Queen'' feature a Bo Diddley riff, while ''Voulez-Vous'' uses snappy light funk horn charts. In both songs, the combination of airy dance rhythms and candied studio textures suggests a giant singing merry-go-round. As the disco craze waned, Abba's music once again became more European in feel. With their lavishly harmonized vocals and such florid touches as choirs of mandolins and electric sitar, songs like ''Super Trouper,'' ''I Have a Dream'' and ''The Winner Takes It All'' suggest a massive children's chorus echoing through the Alps. Stylistically, Abba's music has proved to be a decisive bridge between the 1960's, when American pop styles dominated international markets, and synthesizer pop, which is more European than American in its orientation. Abba's sketchy skeletal tunes with their childlike repetitions were obvious forerunners of the electronic chants of English techno-pop groups like Human League and A Flock of Seagulls. Even Elvis Costello, the foremost singersongwriter of the British new wave, has acknowledged Abba as an important influence on his songwriting. Many of Mr. Costello's tunes share with Abba's a martial melodic impulse with a staccato-like matching of note to syllable. Most importantly, Abba was the first group to market itself successfully as a musical entity with a global point of view. While other groups, notably the Clash and the Police, have carried the concept of internationalism further by writing socially relevant lyrics and bringing African and third world rhythms to their music, it was Abba who pointed the way. Never in the annals of modern pop has a major group had so little to say of literary interest, yet been so influential. ''Abba: The Singles'' is a testament to the unstoppable power of the catchy tune. My personal taste Out of a total of 130 of their songs, I would especially single out these 18: dancing queen, sos, chiquitita, fernando,waterloo,gimme,mamma mia, one of us,i do,knowing me(you),the winner takes it all,i have a dream,super trouper,happy new year,take a chance on me,voulez vous,money and Frida solo -- i know ... I'm Miroslav from Bosnia. The whole ex-Yugoslavia: Serbs, Croats, Bosnians... love Abba. After Abba, the world lost a lot in love. We felt it the hardest in the bloody civil war in Yugoslavia. There are many conspiracy theories that the powerful are evil people had an interest in breaking up with the love that abba promoted in her songs. In the USA, too, they always unfairly suppressed their influence on the pop culture there. They didn't want European dominance in music. They didn't like the Beatles either, but then they reacted late.. I'm glad that Abba recorded new songs, but I think it's too late for everything now. I'm sorry that they had so much trouble in their later life. The real truth will forever remain hidden for us,a litle individuals.. A big greeting to you from the rest of Yugoslavia
