Artist Profile
ABBA is a Swedish pop group formed in Stockholm in 1972, consisting of Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad — the group's name being an acronym of the members' first initials. They rose to international fame after winning the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974 with "Waterloo" and went on to become one of the best-selling music acts of all time, with estimated record sales exceeding 400 million worldwide. Renowned for their infectious melodies, lush harmonies, and meticulous production, ABBA dominated the pop and disco charts throughout the 1970s and early 1980s with timeless hits such as "Dancing Queen," "Voulez-Vous," "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!," and "Money, Money, Money." Their music has achieved enduring global popularity through the Mamma Mia! stage musical and film adaptations, and the group released their first new studio album in 40 years — Voyage — in 2021.
