ABBA in Eurovision
For their first Eurovision, ABBA entered with "Ring Ring" but failed to
qualify as the 1973 Swedish entry, it came third in the preliminary round. Stig
immediately started planning for the 1974 contest.
Ulvaeus, Andersson, and manager Stig Anderson believed in the possibilities
of using the Melodifestivalen and Eurovision TV contests as a way to make the
music business aware of the band and Andersson, Ulvaeus and Stig as composers.
In late 1973, they were invited by Swedish television to contribute a song for
the 1974 contest, and from a number of newly written compositions, the foursome
chose the upbeat "Waterloo"; the group was now inspired by the growing glam rock
scene in England. "Waterloo" was an unashamedly glam-style pop track produced
with Michael B. Tretow's wall-of-sound approach.
ABBA won their national heats on Swedish TV on 9 February 1974, and with this
third attempt were far more experienced and better prepared for the
international contest. Winning the Eurovision Song Contest gave ABBA the chance
to tour Europe and perform on major TV shows; thus the band saw the "Waterloo"
single climb the charts in many European countries. "Waterloo" was ABBA's first
number one single in big markets such as the UK, Germany and Australia. In the
US, it reached #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, paving the way for their first
album and their first trip as a group there. Albeit being a short promotional
visit, it included their very first performance on American TV, The Mike Douglas
Show. Waterloo only peaked at #145 on the Billboard 200 album chart, but
received unanimous high praise from the US critics: Los Angeles Times called it
"a compelling and fascinating debut album that captures the spirit of mainstream
pop quite effectively...an immensely enjoyable and pleasant project", while
Creem characterized it as "a perfect blend of exceptional lovable compositions".
ABBA's follow-up single, "Honey, Honey", reached #27 on the US Billboard Hot
100, and was #2 in Germany. However, in the UK, a cover version of the song by
the act Sweet Dreams made #10 because ABBA's British record company, Epic,
decided to re-release a remixed version of "Ring Ring" instead. It failed to
reach the Top 30, increasing growing speculation that the group were simply
Eurovision one-hit wonders.
Abba History
ABBA was a Swedish pop music group. The band consisted of Agnetha Fältskog,
Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus and Anni-Frid Lyngstad (of Norwegian-German
origin). They topped the charts worldwide from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s.
The name "ABBA" is an acronym formed from the first letters of each of the group
members' given names (Agnetha, Benny, Björn, Anni-Frid).
ABBA gained immense international popularity employing catchy song hooks,
simple lyrics, and a Wall of Sound achieved by overdubbing the female singers'
voices in multiple harmonies. As their popularity grew, they were sought after
to tour Europe, Australia, and North America, drawing crowds of near-hysterical
fans, notably in Australia. Touring became a contentious issue, being
particularly unpopular with Agnetha, but they continued to release studio albums
to great commercial success. At the height of their popularity, however, both
marriages of the band members (Benny with Frida, and Björn with Agnetha) failed,
and the relationship changes were reflected in their music, as they produced
more thoughtful lyrics with different compositions.
They remain a fixture of radio playlists and are one of the world's best
selling bands, having sold over 370 million records world wide; they still sell
two to four million records a year. ABBA was also the first pop group from
mainland Europe to enjoy consistent success in the charts of English-speaking
countries, including the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Ireland,
South Africa, Rhodesia, Australia and New Zealand. Their enormous popularity
subsequently opened the doors for other Continental European acts.
The music of ABBA has been re-arranged into the successful musical Mamma Mia!
that has toured worldwide and had a movie version released in July 2008. All
four of the former members of ABBA were present at the Stockholm premieres of
both the musical (2005) and the film (2008). The film première took place at the
Benny Andersson-owned Rival Theatre at Mariatorget, Stockholm on 4 July 2008. A
new museum devoted entirely to the pop supergroup was scheduled to open in
Stockholm in 2009, but the project was postponed as of September 2008.
