      Fuckin’ eh rights! Slayer shall forever rule the universe with a crushing iron fist, but anyone who claims to NOT like ABBA is either lying or hasn’t heard them yet. Period. You put this jam on at 0200 at ANY party, wedding, or celebration anywhere, and every single person will immediately go bananas and start enthusiastically singing along while dancing with one another. That’s a timeless quality and universal appeal that few bands can say they enjoy. ABBA rocks the shit, and it’s as simple as that.

      Benny usually wrote the music, but Bjorn conceived of the rhythm when he was jogging one day. He heard his feet going Chicka-CHICK Chicka-CHICK Chica-CHICK. And it got him thinking about lyrics. They turned it into Take a CHANCE, Take a CHANCE, Take a CHANCE.

    ABBA were masters of musical production and promotion. They were doing videos nearly a decade before MTV even existed to play them, and they recorded their songs in a variety of different languages. They were huge. You can't go wrong with any of their songs.

      Let's not forget who actually invented the concept of videos of songs about 10 years prior to Abba. In the early Sixties, they were called promo films, and became a necessity for The Beatles, who were in the midst of Beatlemania. This helped satisfy the demand for a public appearance, so they started sending out promo films instead in order to satisfy their fans.

Don't think Beatles exactly invented it though :) Jazz, swing, cabaré, latin, and bossa artists made promotion films in the 1940s and 50s, and even earlier than that, before WWII.

Also include "Eagles", "Angel Eyes", "Cassandra", "The Day Before You Came" When I Kissed the Teacher", "Head Over Heals", "I Am The City", I do, I do, I do". Tracks from Voyage to listen to are "I Still Have Faith In You", Don't Shut Me Down", "Keep An Eye on Dan". All great songs.

    hello again, nice to see you well, and with more ABBA songs!
    "Take a chance on me" (1978)
    is one of their best ABBA hits in all the world, the most selling song of ABBA in U.S. (more than Dancing Queen),
    #3 in Billboard U.S. and their seventh #1 in UK Official Charts
    This is one song than the vocals are more extensive than the music (They begin 'a capela' and singing at the end)
    the blonde Agnetha is the lead vocal, her voice is so powerful, in perfect armonies and chorus with Anni Frid in co-leads vocal (and the boys in back voices singing repetitive the frase 'take a chance, chance')
    Agnetha & Anni Frid have fantastic voices and harmonies together
    Agnetha is soprano
    Anni Frid is mezzo soprano
    and together Made a 'three voice'
    the guitarist Björn got the idea while jogging, by the sound of the footsteps he interpreted t-k-t t-kt and adapted it to "take a chance", so the song was born
    Although it is a disco pop, it is like a constant and happy march, captivating, cloying and addictive
    In the video the absolute center is the girls, very suggestive
    A clarification: it was filmed a month after Agnetha's second motherhood, so She had not yet recovered Her pre-pregnancy figure (these is one of the songs that she recording pregnant)
    I wish you a greatest weekend
    My best regards from
    Buenos Aires, Argentina

    I still remember this coming out when I was just a snot-nosed kid. A golden era for ABBA, and we lapped up every drop.
    Relistening 45 years later, it's amazing how many balls they dropped and got away with it. Because the SOUND seemed so new and captivating. And when you're ambitious enough and spinning enough plates, I guess some will get broken.
    The re-recordings for the movies address these shortcomings but fail to bottle the original magic.

    ABBA is ABBA. From 1974-1981, they were golden. After 40 years they released “Voyage” and they still have it. Agnetha and Frida’s harmonies are unmatched. Please do some more. They’ve never been given their due in the USA for some reason. They are musical royalty just about everywhere else. I’m not sure the year, but when they toured in Australia, the entire country shut down.

    Thanks wiki “Take a Chance on Me" released jan 78. proved to be one of ABBA's most successful chart hits, becoming the group's seventh UK #1 (and third consecutive chart-topper in the country after "Knowing Me, Knowing You" and "The Name of the Game").[6] It was also ABBA's final #1 in the UK of the 1970s, and gives the group the distinction of being the act with the most chart-topping singles of the 1970s in the UK. It sold over 500,000 copies and was awarded a gold disc.[7] As of September 2021, it is the group's fourth-biggest song in the country with 950,000 chart sales (including 882,000 pure sales).[8]
    In the United States it reached #3 and was certified gold for one million sales.[9] The song peaked at #3 in Canada and West Germany as well.

    Remember growing up with ABBA in the 1970s, which was very much a secret pleasure, because it was so uncool to be an ABBA fan at the time. Partly because your parents and grandparents also liked them at the time. They were one of the few "Euro Pop" bands to make it big in the UK. Their music was mocked at the time, until people tried to copy the songs, and found out that the music was far more difficult to play than they had assumed.

ABBA and Led Zeppelin didnt sell 40 million 1 song hits but ALBUMS and that is HUUUUGE!! That's ALL the songs on the album not just 1 in todays bragging rights. And Lex you are correct. ABBA and BeeGees were compared and ran on the same play lists in clubs everywhere. They are back together today and made a new album and they still have the same catchy beats and voices! Look up ABBA CBS. Cant believe the new one sounds as good and catchy as their old ones when in many instances other groups try to come back but the album isnt as good. It truly is awesome.

    ABBA was huge in the '70s and early '80s as well as the Bee Gees. Disco era ('70s - early '80s). Disco died down during the mid '80s, morphed into other genres like Eurodance, dance house music in the '90s - current times.
    ABBA has a lot of hits from the '70s-early '80s, disco and Europop music.

    ABBA is a popular music group from Sweden, popular in the 70's and 80's. Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad. The group name is an acronym for the first name of each member of the group (Agnetha, Benny, Bjorn, Anni-Frid). The Broadway show and film "Mamma Mia" is based on their catalog of music.
