ABBA was the biggest selling pop group of the Seventies. Between their
first single in 1972, when the group was not yet called ABBA, and their
final singles in 1982, ABBA recorded and released 98 unique songs. In
addition they recorded versions of some of their biggest hits in
Swedish, German, French, and Spanish; performed a number of songs in
concert that were never released on record; and recorded a number of
songs that didn't see the light of day at the time, but have been
released from the archive the decades since the group "took a break" at
the end of 1982.
Everyone remembers ABBA's biggest hits - songs like 'Waterloo', 'Mamma
Mia', 'Fernando', 'Dancing Queen', 'Take A Chance On Me', 'Chiquitita',
and 'The Winner Takes It All' - but there are many gems to be found on
the eight studio albums and 21 singles released during the group's
lifetime. ABBA: Song by Song is a look at every single song by the
Swedish supergroup, written by a life-long ABBA fan. Find out what
inspired the songs, what went in to recording them, and their impact
around the world in the 1970s and 80s and beyond.
