Wow Abba are now getting what they deserve and even the School bully has started download &#8220;Dancing Queen&#8221; on i-tunes!<\/p>\n<p>It seems Abba are almost as popular today as they were in the late Seventies and early Eighties. In 2008 they really are suddenly Super Troopers in the modern world. Who would of thought that when <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_1\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">Agnetha<\/span> <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_2\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">Faltskog<\/span> bumped into Anni-<span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_3\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">Frid<\/span> &#8220;<span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_4\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">Frida<\/span>&#8221; <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_5\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">Lyngstad<\/span> and Benny <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_6\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">Andersson<\/span> and his best mate Bjorn <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_7\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">Ulvaeus<\/span> got together that they would become the legend they are.<\/p>\n<p>Abba became international superstars during the late 1970\u2019s with a string of immaculately-crafted pop singles that, even by modern standards, seem to leap out of the speakers at the listener. Songs like \u201cDancing Queen,\u201d \u201cWaterloo\u201d and \u201cWinner Takes it All\u201d encompass everything thrilling about pop music: lush vocal harmonies, bouncy melodies with catchy choruses, and hooks galore all wrapped in a big, glossy sound that never fails to thrill. This magical sound made Abba one of the most successful pop groups of all time.<\/p>\n<h2>Abba Goes Global<\/h2>\n<p>Simplicity is certainly there strength as the music sounds simple yet a very quick study reveals a much deeper combination of chords giving each song a hidden depth. Yet the name ABBA <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_8\" class=\"blsp-spelling-corrected\">couldn&#8217;t<\/span> be any easier. Simply put : the first letter of their first name! Few groups personify pop music the way Abba does.<\/p>\n<p>Although Abba gained their international fame quickly once they broke through in the mid-70&#8217;s, it was a long climb to the top. All four members had a long and involved history in European pop music before they began performing together. The beginnings of Abba date back to the first meeting of Swedish songwriters Benny <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_9\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">Andersson<\/span> and Bjorn <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_10\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">Ulvaeus<\/span>. They soon became writing partners and began penning Swedish hits. During this time, they wrote songs for <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_11\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">Agnetha<\/span> <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_12\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">Faltskog<\/span> and Anni-<span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_13\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">Frid<\/span> \u2018<span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_14\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">Frida<\/span>\u2019 <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_15\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">Lyngstad<\/span>. Soon enough, the two twosomes became a pair of married couples and began recording singles together in 1972, starting with piano-driven \u201cPeople Need Love.\u201d<\/p><div class=\"e526d1e761560160a119e3b74cb2a974\" data-index=\"1\" style=\"float: none; margin:5px 0 5px 0; text-align:center;\">\nskool\r\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"autorelaxed\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1609637348681190\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3558122710\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Abba earned their breakthrough in 1974 when they won the <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_16\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">Eurovision<\/span> Song Contest with \u201cWaterloo.\u201d This driving pop tune compared a bad relationship to Napoleon\u2019s famous defeat and boasted a big wall-of-sound production fuelled by guitar, piano and saxophone. It became a worldwide hit and went Top-10 in the U.S. Abba followed it up in 1975 with another U.S. Top-20 hit in \u201cS.O.S.,\u201d an ultra-catchy tune that contrasted keyboard-led ballad verses with a powerful guitar-driven chorus. Abba also continued to build their international <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_17\" class=\"blsp-spelling-corrected\">fan base<\/span> with classics like \u201c<span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_18\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">Mamma<\/span> Mia,\u201d a pulsating slice of pop that highlighted a unique xylophone hook on its chorus.<\/p>\n<p>In 1977, Abba scored their biggest international hit with \u201cDancing Queen.\u201d This tale of a girl finding joy on the dance floor cleverly fused Abba\u2019s frilly European pop style to an up-to-date disco beat to become a #1 smash in the U.S. It also topped the charts in several other countries, including England and Germany. Abba also hit the Top-15 that year with \u201cKnowing Me, Knowing You,\u201d a power ballad lamenting a love gone bad. The hits continued in 1978 with the early <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_19\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">synth<\/span>-pop of \u201cThe Name Of The Game\u201d and \u201cTake A Chance On Me,\u201d the latter a danceable love song with unusual, rhythmic \u2018stuttered\u2019 harmonies. 1979 saw the group experimenting with disco once again on songs like the Top-20 hit \u201cDoes Your Mother Know?\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Abba in the Eighties<\/h2>\n<p>In 1980, Abba scored a surprisingly serious Top-10 hit with \u201cThe Winner Takes It All,\u201d a bittersweet power-ballad about the end of a romance. The heart-tugging lyrics were a direct reflection of what was going on in the group: Both couples were in the process of splitting up. Abba continued on for a few more years as they developed a sleek, <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_20\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">synth<\/span>-pop style on albums like Super Trouper and The Visitors. They continued to score worldwide hits with danceable tunes like \u201cGimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight).\u201d At the end of 1982, Abba brought an amazing decade of success to a close by splitting up.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, both <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_21\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">Agnetha<\/span> <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_22\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">Faltskog<\/span> and <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_23\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">Frida<\/span> <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_24\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">Lyngstad<\/span> have enjoyed success as solo performers. <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_25\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">Lyngstad<\/span> scored a big hit in 1983 with \u201cI Know There\u2019s Something Going On,\u201d a drum-driven pop tune produced by Phil Collins. Benny <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_26\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">Andersson<\/span> and Bjorn <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_27\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">Ulvaeus<\/span> have continued to work together as composers and found international success with their musical Chess, which featured a worldwide hit in \u201cOne Night In Bangkok.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Abba\u2019s classic pop continues to weave its magical spell on pop fans everywhere and has been covered by artists as diverse as U2 and Sixpence None The Richer (including an all-Abba-cover <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_28\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">EP<\/span> from Erasure). All in all, Abba\u2019s legacy of hits and their unerring knack for melody ensure that they will always be legends of pop music.<\/p>\n<h3>Abba &#8211; Recent movement<\/h3>\n<p>More recent times have seen even the Magic Madonna jumping on the Abba bandwagon using some great Abba backings to her recent track Hung Up. This of course takes Gimme Gimme Gimme. This is only the second time Abba have allowed another act to use their work.<br \/>\n&#8220;I had to send my emissary to Stockholm with a letter begging them and telling them how much I love their music,&#8221; Madonna said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They never let anyone sample their music.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Songwriters Benny <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_29\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">Andersson<\/span> and Bjorn <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_30\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">Ulvaeus<\/span> have only allowed one other act to sample one of their tracks before, when the <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_31\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">Fugees<\/span> used part of The Name Of The Game on their 1996 track Rumble In The Jungle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/mamma-mia-will-abba-get-more-popular-than-the-eighties\/\"><img width=\"125\" height=\"99\" src=\"http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/abba-160x127.jpg\" class=\"alignright tfe wp-post-image\" alt=\"Mamma Mia - Will Abba get more popular than the Eighties?\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/abba-160x127.jpg 160w, http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/abba-300x238.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/abba-377x300.jpg 377w, http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/abba.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 125px) 100vw, 125px\" \/><\/a><p>When i was at school admitting you liked Abba was like saying &#8220;Hey Bully-Boy, i fancy a beating&#8221;.
