Welcome to the ABBA Rankdown!
About ABBA:
ABBA were a Swedish pop band that formed in 1972, comprised of Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid "Frida" Lyngstad (ABBA being an acronym for each member's first name). They topped the charts from 1974 (after winning Eurovision with the song, "Waterloo") to 1982. At the time of the group's formation, they were two couples. Agnetha and Björn were newly married, with Benny and Frida following in 1978. However, by the time the group had dissolved in 1982, so had both marriages. The group's legacy was sealed in the 90's with the 1992 release of Gold: Greatest Hits, which is one of the best selling albums of all time, and the 1999 hit jukebox musical Mamma Mia!, which was later turned into a movie in 2008. 1999 also brought A*Teens, whose album of ABBA covers, The ABBA Generation, went platinum or gold in 22 territories around the world. Overall, ABBA are estimated to have sold between 140 and 500 million records, making them one of the best selling groups of all time, as well as the most successful act ever to win Eurovision.
