[@priscilabee583]

[@percymenor8028]

Super Trouper, Chiquitita, Fernando, The winner takes it all, Waterloo, One of us, S.O.S... so many mora amazing Abba hits! 🥰

[@matisicagi]

Yes! We need a second part!

[@radostdinkova7909]

[@eduardooscar309]

"Dancing Queen" (1976), one of the best songs in the history of pop music, where the excellent work of vocal harmonies between the blonde Agnetha (soprano voice that shines in the high tones) and the brunette Frida ( mezzo soprano voice that shines in the lower tones) ABBA has a catalog of 110 songs, with more than 20 worldwide hits, more than 30 official videos (precursors in it to spread their music) and 15 of their songs were recorded in Spanish too (with 5 official videos) Until today you reacted to 4 of the 5 ABBA songs with the most views on KZbin: #1 Dancing Queen #2 Gimme gimme gimme #3 Mamma Mia #5 Take a chance on me #10 "Knowing me knowing you" To complete the Top10 of the official videos with the most views, You should continue with: #9 Money money money #8 Super Trooper #7 The winner takes it all #6 Fernando #4 Chiquitita but if we analyze it by its most successful songs (with the most #1 in the world), You should do: #2 Fernando #3 Chiquitita #4 Waterloo #5 Money money money #6 S.O.S. anyway, we wait for the second (and maybe third) week of ABBA but now that their music is more alive and timeless with their comeback album "Voyage" and the new ABBA Voyage concerts in London I hope to see you again next week, with more ABBA songs and videos My best regards to You from Buenos Aires Argentina

[@elfiero4]

We want more from ABBA, the best pop group evaaa!!!

[@theresenydahl9531]

ABBA music makes you happy, best band ever. Thank you ❤

[@sirjohnmara]

ABBA: AKA: Two swedish couples with GREAT HAIR singing together.

[@donny1960]

Abba was in Sweden and did not travel often. They made Music Videos to send their music out to the World . Shows like The Midnight Special and Don Kirshner's Rock Concert were popular and the videos were how they promoted themselves.

[@tuijakarttunen9164]

Abba made a lot of videos, because they didn't tour much. Of the ten active years, Benny just said in an interview, they toured half a year all put together. They were pioneers in making music videos.

[@AntonSieppi]

I don't care if it has been 2 months already, I need more ABBA reactions!!

[@Ferrera29]

Aww Joe is so nice, and with kind face.

[@adamdjouhri6900]

Yesss week 2 ! We need some of The Winner Takes It All, Lay all your love on me, Slipping through my fingers, Super Trouper

[@silasantares731]

ABBA não foi somente disco, eles tem várias outras músicas excelentes, de uma sonoridade excepcional, tipo hole in your soul, angeleyes, soldiers, the visitors, elaine, the piper e muitas outras. Entendo que voces não sejam fãs do ABBA mas quando ouvirem outras músicas da banda vão apreciar, por que ABBA tem uma sonoridade incrível, com arranjos maravilhosos. E olha que tbm não sou da época da disco music, tenho 37 anos.

[@mattigolx2532]

The Winner Takes It All, Lay all your love on me, Slipping through my fingers, The Day Before You Came, If it wasn´t for the night. There you have 5 more fantastic songs for week 2 with ABBA. Greatings from Sweden!

[@rodrigoguabiraba600]

Definetely worth a week 2. Some amazing videoclips are missing: Super Trooper, Winner Takes it All, Waterloo, Chiquitita, SOS, One of Us, Under Attack... All masterpieces and pioneers in the whole videoclip world.

[@alexioverdo5225]

This was to start with a different intro(electric guitar bass and rythmic drums similar to Tina Charle's"I love to love")but last minute they decided to scrap it and put the piano "glissando" cause it sounded more captivating.BTW There are many videos in the net of Abba songs with only their isolated backing vocals.God you can't imagine how much work has been put in and how hard and detalful are in construction.So complicated yet so exceptionally beautiful.

[@alexioverdo5225]

You gotta watch their "ABBA THE MOVIE" Film .feat.their adventurous historic live tour.Pure magic and fan hysteria.They kicked @@@ while playing live.You won't beliebe your eyes and ears!Spectacular.

[@casimirvi8238]

Best Pop-Song in History

[@msurdan1]

As for ABBA week 2 and 3, you should consider these songs: SOS, Our Last Summer, The Name of the Game, Eagle, One Man One Woman, Voulez Vous, If It Wasn’t Foe the Nights, Elaine, Lovelight, The Winner Takes It All, Super Trouper, The Visitors, Soldiers, The Piper, Slipping Through My Fingers

[@thankyouforthemusic4881]

"The winner takes it all". And then on to Queen :-) Both ABBA and Queen are my faves. And when ABBA released a new album last nov. My head exploded. London and ABBA arena. Who does that after 40+ years? I´m all in.

[@The_Jupiter2_Mission]

The thing to remember is Abba were not a disco band as some people say. They existed before & through the disco era and then after, but they were not a disco band in the least.

[@philipjackson4668]

You should listen to the video of just the backing vocals, the harmonies to this song are just brilliant

[@philowens7680]

Piano and bass on this are fantastic.

[@msurdan1]

Hey. Just discovered you w ABBA week. The reason why there are so many music videos is because ABBA was a global act but they rarely toured. So they recorded music videos as promotional clips they could distribute world wide. This helped them promote their music in lieu of touring. The videos were directed by Oscar nominated director Lasse Hallstrom. But before he directed movies like The Cider House Rules, he learned to direct by making ABBA’s videos. In the days before MTV, these videos were very experimental and avant guarde, especially because CGI and other video technology we take for granted did not exist in the 70s.

[@edwardhannah]

Velvet is the fabric of choice for dancing kings and queens at galas and coronations and has been around for centuries. While the more recent fabric of velour is synthetic is commonly made and turned into track suits

[@jamesheaney8258]

You guys probably wouldn't realise at the time the 2 women were concidered gorgeous at the time they were mesmerising to watch as well as being well trained singers to boot.

[@visaman]

I was 11 when this song was popular thats why the dancers are so young. They are now late 50s and 60s. 😢

[@lucasteixeira91]

Week two PLEASE! 🙏

[@Lmph2122]

As Grandpa said, “ABBA” is always in the puzzle because it has two vowels!!!

[@geofffield7603]

Classic song!

[@billmarshall5040]

Legendary! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@nielsulriksrensen9818]

The Name of the Game is a wonderful song and video as well - they're playing Ludo. However, Money Money Money may be their best video: Lots of 1 Dollar bills and a fancy hat. Go for it, you'll love it.

[@sannaschoblom8547]

Please, pretty please!! Include the live concert version of "Summer Night City" on your next ABBA-list. That one is fenomenal!!

[@wawa2]

Velour was the cheap velvet in the 70s, boys wore a lot of it too, I had a maroon velvet sweater with a gold zipper.

[@HeidiMaradiagaAlonzo]

ABBA week #2 please: 1- The winner takes it all 2- Chiquitita 3- Money, money, money 4- I have a dream 5- Fernando

[@john26874]

Ashamed to say, I`ve just discovered your ABBA videos. Please could we have week 2?. Day before you came, Under attack, Summer night city (long unreleased version - far far better than the standard version!), Anyway loved your different take on my favourite group & yes, I`ve happily subscribed...at 5.43am.

[@arielalonso6886]

Abba week 2!!!! Please!!!

[@TheFerrer13]

ICONIC

[@sirjohnmara]

More ABBA! Watch the end of ABBA LIVE at Wembley!

[@Vikinggirl1679]

MORE ABBA

[@mikesmithson6805]

2nd biggest selling group of all time! Only the Beatles outsold them

[@msurdan1]

What’s also interesting is that early on their costumes were crazy looking because they were tax deductible in Sweden just as long as they couldn’t be worn anywhere else but while I n stage. You wouldn’t want to wear these costumes to the office or out to dinner, as examples.

[@danieljessekaplan7034]

Agree to all the more Abba requests. But make sure Voulez Vouz is included

[@silke3961]

Frida the dancing queen ❤

[@ABBALAURAFAN]

Your Dad is/was Awesome.. but really who does not Love ABBA.

[@herrbonk3635]

3:28 They were actually called diskotek already when this video was made, at least in Abba's homeland.

[@visaman]

In the 60s.

[@redcardinalist]

the GREAT song ever; and what is the difference between Velour and Velvet? the latter is a wildly expensive natural fabric. Velour isn't. Next question 😀

[@bobtrouper]

Yeh week 2 is about time I think….

WEEK 2 PLS 🛐🛐🛐

[@martinbatallan3734]

[@visaman]

[@kristianmapage9742]

Thx, But abba without The winner takes it all, SOS ou Thank you for the music... May be relevant at least a second ABBA weekend!?

[@mclocksley]

I had heard that the "dancers" in this video included Bjorn and Agnetha's daughter and some of her friends; not 100% sure - maybe someone could confirm ?

[@eduardooscar309]

Impossible because Linda Ulvaeus (Agnetha & Björn daughter) wasn't 3 years old at the day at the Official Video was filmed

[@mclocksley]

@@eduardooscar309 Thanks - that makes sense. :)

[@ABBALAURAFAN]

Week 2! Week 2. Do rare songs ! Please.

[@tordimass]

"Dancing Queen" originally had an extra verse sung by Agnetha and Frida! It didn't make the final cut. Search "ABBA - Dancing Queen (Extended Version Restored Missing Verse)" 🥰
