God blessed us with these four geniuses. The best band in the entire freaking world (That’s right Beatles, you’ve been outsold.) Wrote catchy-ass bops that anyone with a brain cell knows. They’ve sold around 390-410 million records as of 2018.
The band consists of:
Queen Agnetha Fältslay, Björn-Born-A-
Woke-Lyricist-Ulvaeus, Benny Bearded
Bear Andersson (aka if Mozart and Chopin had a
child) and the only non-blonde non-Swedish member Ginger Feminist Queen Anni-Frid “Frida” Lyngstad. They all met in the 60’s as solo artists. They released their first song as a band in 1972, the yodeling
People Need Love. They tried to represent
Sweden in the 1973 Eurovision but were beaten by two dudes comparing their girl’s
boobs to swallows (Not a Lie) but they managed to do it in 1974, and they won the contest that year, making history as the first Swedish act to do so. They went on to become the biggest band of the Seventies, releasing legendary songs like Dancing Queen, Mamma Mia, Knowing Me Knowing You (AHAAA) They broke down the “Only American and
British Acts Are Sucessful” barrier.
They broke up in 1982, but their musical Mamma Mia which was first premiered in 1998, has been seen by over 350 million
people and earned £
2 billion. Their 1992 Greatest Hits Album has become the second best selling album of all time and their movie Mamma Mia is the highest grossing musical movie of all time.
IMPACT.
So basically to sum all that up, ABBA are the shit, and we love them.
