ABBA - ABBA trivia: Encyclopedia - ABBA

ABBA (1972–1983) was a Swedish pop music group. They remain the most successful Swedish music act and were one of the most popular groups in the world. The group dominated charts worldwide during the mid-to-late 1970s and early 1980s, selling many hit singles and albums. Estimates of ABBA's total worldwide sales vary from 100 to 500 million (there seems to be no reliable source for this information) which could make them the second most successful band of all time after The Beatles. They were the first act from the European mainland ...

ABBA - ABBA trivia: Encyclopedia II - ABBA - Fashion and videos
ABBA was widely noted as an epitome of 1970s fashion for the colourful costumes its members wore. The videos which accompanied some of their biggest hits are often cited as being among the earliest examples of the genre. Though The Beatles and the Rolling Stones had shot the occasional video clip, making promotional videos still hadn't become the industry standard by the early-to-mid 1970s. Most of ABBA's videos (and ABBA - The Movie) were directed by Lasse Hallström who would later direct the films My Life as a Dog, The ...

ABBA - ABBA trivia: Encyclopedia II - ABBA - Later years

By 1978 ABBA was a megagroup. They converted a disused cinema into the Polar Music Studio, a new state-of-the-art studio in Stockholm which was used by several other successful bands (Led Zeppelin's In Through the Out Door was recorded there, for example). Their standalone single "Summer Night City", their last Swedish number one, stopped just short of topping the UK charts but set the stage for ABBA's foray into disco with the album Voulez-Vous, which was released in Spring 1979. This release marked a slight decline in ...

ABBA - ABBA trivia: Encyclopedia - Bohemian Rhapsody

"Bohemian Rhapsody" is a song written by Freddie Mercury and originally recorded by the band Queen for their 1975 album A Night at the Opera. The song has a somewhat unusual musical form for a piece of pop music, with three very different sections, no chorus, and both a capella and heavy metal sections. However, it was released as a single, and became a huge commercial success. This was a decisive point in Queen's career, setting them on the way to become one of Britain's biggest rock groups. The single was accompanied by what ...

The title track, after its success as a single in the UK was parodied in a sketch on the BBC comedy programme, Not the Nine O'Clock News in 1981. The sketch comprised a very close musical parody of the song, called Super Duper, with rather scathing words about Abba: One of us is ugly, one of us is cute One of us you'd like to see in her birthday suit Two of us write music, two have way a song Sorry, i ...

The song, "The Safety Dance", was the band's reaction to the ban that many clubs placed on pogoing in mosh pits -- very popular in the punk culture of the day. Hence the lyrics "You can dance if you want to" -- i.e., they were ...

ABBA - ABBA trivia: Encyclopedia II - Waterloo English version - The Song

'Waterloo' was originally written as a song that ABBA would perform at the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest. This was after the failure of Ring Ring in the previous year's heats, which only came third and consequently did not represent Sweden in 1973. Waterloo originally faced some "competition" from another ABBA-penned song "Hasta Mañana." But Björn and Benny ultimately chose "Waterloo," since it focused on both Frida and Agnetha as lead vocalists. 'Waterloo' is about a girl or woman (female lead vocalists) who is about to give in to r ...

ABBA - ABBA trivia: Encyclopedia II - Waterloo English version - Chart Success

"Waterloo" eventually proved to be the right choice. It sailed through the Swedish selections in February, and came out the winner in the 1974 ESC finals on April 6. The single was the one that really broke the group on a worldwide scale. It was their first UK #1 and their first Top Ten hit in the US and Canada. The Waterloo album also performed well in Europe (but it failed to match the success of the single in the US). Although ABBA would not equal the success of "Waterloo" over the next 18 months, "Waterloo" introduced the world to a fresh-faced, vibrant group of individuals ...
