Next year marks the 40th anniversary of the band's first hit "Waterloo", which won them the Eurovision song contest and catapulted them to fame.

ABBA subsequently became one of the world's best-selling pop bands with a string of number one hits such as "Mamma Mia", "Dancing Queen" and "Super Trouper

Hey I like them too...

Then again have you seen Agnetha recently? She did a solo album awhile back that supposedly featured the longest videod kiss. Laz might have it it but...I did not want. Looked like an old skank trying to hold on.

Scandi gals are great but most have a very short shelf life.

Anni probably aged better but last I heard she was in Austria or nearby and wanted NOTHING to do with the rest of the group. That was probably ten years aho though so maybe her royal hubby is running out of cash.

Frida was definitely the better looking of the two, except when she had the Fro working.

The world can use a music group that can actually carry a tune without a machine.

Don’t feel bad. I used to visit the ABBA website once a day. Was even on the fan forums. The end pretty much came for me when Agnetha did a bad solo album and especially after that hortid Mama Mia movie.

Still enjoy the music though and I ...for one, probably the only one...like Benny and Bjorn’s “Chess.”

The girl on my first date was a huge ABBA fan so I made sure I had ABBA in my tape deck when I picked her up in my father's Chrysler. Even today, the songs "Fernando" and "Dancing Queen" remind me of that girl. I looked an awful lot like Napoleon Dynamite during those days.

AGNETHA FALSTOGG WAS INTEVIEWED ON MAY THIS YEAR ( she had been sort of a recluse for nearly 25 years ). Full interview here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWk1xyNBnUY

On 10 May 2013 (13 May in the UK; 14 May in North America), Fältskog released a new album called “A”, produced by Jörgen Elofsson and Peter Nordahl.

In the UK, the first single “When You Really Loved Someone” had previously been released for download on 11 March, with the accompanying video also released on the same day. In Germany, the first single was “The One Who Loves You Now” and it was also released for download on 11 March 2013. The album includes a duet with Gary Barlow of Take That, called “I Should’ve Followed You Home”.

In June 2013, officials from Universal Records in The Netherlands revealed that 600,000 copies of ‘A’ were sold in the first two months after the release. A TV special made by the BBC helped the album reach number six in the UK Charts. The album made the top five in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Belgium, Ireland, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, and Australia. The first single from the “A” album to be released in the US, Dance Your Pain Away, was released on 28 May 2013. The digital single included two new mixes by Smash Mode.

“Dance Your Pain Away” was released internationally as a single on 15 July 2013.

Here’s a video of one of the songs in her latest album “When You Really Loved Someone”:
