Biography

The most commercially successful pop group of the 1970s, ABBA was the first Swedish act to win the Eurovision competition. In 1975, they issued "S.O.S.," a smash not only in America and Britain but also in non-English speaking countries such as Spain and Germany. A string of hits followed, including "Mamma Mia," "Fernando," and "Dancing Queen" (ABBA's sole U.S. chart-topper), further honing their lush, buoyant sound. ABBA's popularity continued in 1977, when both "Knowing Me, Knowing You" and "The Name of the Game" dominated airwaves. The group also starred in the feature film ABBA: The Movie, which was released in 1978. ~ Jason Ankeny
