In June 1966, Björn Ulvaeus (born 1945) met Benny Andersson (born 1946) for the first time. Björn was a member of the Hootenanny Singers, a very popular folk music group, while Benny played keyboards in Sweden’s biggest pop group of the 1960s, The Hep Stars.</p> <p> </p> <p>The pair wrote their first song together just a few weeks later, and by the end of the decade they had established a regular partnership as composers. By that time, Benny had left The Hep Stars, while the Hootenanny Singers only existed in the recording studio. The Hootenanny Singers released their records on the Polar Music record label, owned by Stig Anderson (1931–1997), who was to become ABBA’s manager. Stig also contributed lyrics to many ABBA hits during the first years of the group’s career.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="Story-Year-Item__images"> <div class="Story-Year-Item__images-col "> <div class="Story-Year-Item__col-image"> <img src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-srcset="https://abbasite.com/uploads/2018/04/hootenanny-300x300.jpg 300w, https://abbasite.com/uploads/2018/04/hootenanny-150x150.jpg 150w, https://abbasite.com/uploads/2018/04/hootenanny.jpg 403w" data-lazy-src="https://abbasite.com/uploads/2018/04/hootenanny-300x300.jpg"/><noscript><img src="https://abbasite.com/uploads/2018/04/hootenanny-300x300.jpg" srcset="https://abbasite.com/uploads/2018/04/hootenanny-300x300.jpg 300w, https://abbasite.com/uploads/2018/04/hootenanny-150x150.jpg 150w, https://abbasite.com/uploads/2018/04/hootenanny.jpg 403w"/></noscript> <p></p> </div> </div>  <div class="Story-Year-Item__images-col Story-Year-Item__images-col--second"> <div class="Story-Year-Item__col-image"> <img src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-srcset="https://abbasite.com/uploads/2018/04/hepstars-300x300.jpg 300w, https://abbasite.com/uploads/2018/04/hepstars-150x150.jpg 150w, https://abbasite.com/uploads/2018/04/hepstars.jpg 403w" data-lazy-src="https://abbasite.com/uploads/2018/04/hepstars-300x300.jpg"/><noscript><img src="https://abbasite.com/uploads/2018/04/hepstars-300x300.jpg" srcset="https://abbasite.com/uploads/2018/04/hepstars-300x300.jpg 300w, https://abbasite.com/uploads/2018/04/hepstars-150x150.jpg 150w, https://abbasite.com/uploads/2018/04/hepstars.jpg 403w"/></noscript> <p></p> </div> </div>  <div class="Story-Year-Item__images-col Story-Year-Item__images-col--third"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="Story-Year-Item" id="story-year-1969"> <div class="Story-Year-Item__content-wrapper"> <div class="Story-Year-Item__side-col"> <div class="Story-Year-Item__side-col-inner"> <h2 class="Story-Year-Item__title">1969</h2> </div> </div> <div class="Story-Year-Item__main-col"> <div class="Story-Year-Item__text-wrapper"> <div class="Story-Year-Item__text-inner"> <h3 class="Story-Year-Item__subtitle"></h3> <div class="Story-Year-Item__text"><p>In the spring of 1969, Björn and Benny met the two women who were to become not only their fiancées but also the other half of ABBA.

They finished third, but the single and the album of the same name were the biggest hits of the year in Sweden, competing for the top positions on the charts. ‘Ring Ring’ also became a hit in several

in Brighton, England. By this time they had changed their name to ABBA, an acronym of their first names. ABBA was also the name of a Swedish canned fish company; fortunately, they agreed to lending their name to a pop group. The Eurovision Song Contest on April 6, 1974 turned out to be the most famous moment in ABBA history, when the group won the international juries over with ‘Waterloo’.</p> <p> </p> <p>Soon after this triumph, ‘Waterloo’ was Number One on the charts all over Europe, even reaching the Top Ten in the US, where the Eurovision Song Contest had no impact. The album of the same name was also a huge hit in Sweden. However, the “stigma” of being winners of the Eurovision Song Contest made it difficult for ABBA to be taken seriously when they tried to follow this first success. It wasn’t until some 18 months later that they got a major worldwide hit again with ‘SOS’, taken off their third album, simply entitled <em>ABBA</em>.</p> <p> </p> <p>‘Mamma Mia’, also from the <em>ABBA </em>album, returned the group to the UK Number One spot, which they occupied a total of nine times between 1974 and 1980. ‘Mamma Mia’ was Number One for ten weeks in Australia, which was the first territory to release it as a single. Over the next couple of years, Australia would be caught up in a virtual ABBA fever, giving the group a total of six Number One hits.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="Story-Year-Item" id="story-year-1976"> <div class="Story-Year-Item__content-wrapper"> <div class="Story-Year-Item__side-col"> <div class="Story-Year-Item__side-col-inner"> <h2 class="Story-Year-Item__title">1976</h2> </div> </div> <div class="Story-Year-Item__main-col"> <div class="Story-Year-Item__text-wrapper"> <div class="Story-Year-Item__text-inner"> <h3 class="Story-Year-Item__subtitle">Arrival</h3> <div class="Story-Year-Item__text"><p>In 1976 ABBA finally and firmly established themselves as one of the most popular groups in the world. The various hits compilations conquering the world during this period (entitled <em>Greatest Hits </em>or <em>The Best Of ABBA </em>depending on where you lived) became global blockbusters. Classic single releases such as ‘Fernando’ and ‘Dancing Queen’ topped the charts all over the world, including the US (in 1977) – ‘Dancing Queen’ was ABBA’s only stateside Number One.</p> <p> </p> <p>In late 1976 ABBA’s fourth album, <em>Arrival</em>, was released. The album stormed up the charts and spawned hits such as ‘Money, Money, Money’ and ‘Knowing Me, Knowing You’. This was followed by a concert tour of Europe and Australia between January and March 1977. The tour was a complete success with capacity houses everywhere. When the tour reached Australia, work was also begun on the feature film <em>ABBA – The Movie</em>. The premiere of the film in December 1977 coincided with the release of <em>ABBA – The Album</em>. Hits from the album included ‘The Name Of The Game’ and ‘Take A Chance On Me’.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="Story-Year-Item" id="story-year-1978"> <div class="Story-Year-Item__content-wrapper"> <div class="Story-Year-Item__side-col"> <div class="Story-Year-Item__side-col-inner"> <h2 class="Story-Year-Item__title">1978</h2> </div> </div> <div class="Story-Year-Item__main-col"> <div class="Story-Year-Item__text-wrapper"> <div class="Story-Year-Item__text-inner"> <h3 class="Story-Year-Item__subtitle"></h3> <div class="Story-Year-Item__text"><p><span lang="EN-US"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-11515 alignleft" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20393%20246'%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt="" width="393" height="246" data-lazy-srcset="https://abbasite.com/uploads/2018/04/usa-300x188.jpg 300w, https://abbasite.com/uploads/2018/04/usa-768x480.jpg 768w, https://abbasite.com/uploads/2018/04/usa.jpg 800w" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 393px) 100vw, 393px" data-lazy-src="https://abbasite.com/uploads/2018/04/usa-300x188.jpg" /><noscript><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-11515 alignleft" src="https://abbasite.com/uploads/2018/04/usa-300x188.jpg" alt="" width="393" height="246" srcset="https://abbasite.com/uploads/2018/04/usa-300x188.jpg 300w, https://abbasite.com/uploads/2018/04/usa-768x480.jpg 768w, https://abbasite.com/uploads/2018/04/usa.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 393px) 100vw, 393px" /></noscript></span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US">The spring of 1978 saw the group embarking on a major promotional campaign in the USA, leading to a Top Three single with ‘Take A Chance On Me’ and a Top Twenty entry for <i>ABBA – The Album</i>.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span lang="EN-US">T</span><span lang="EN-US">he hit singles ‘Summer Night City’ and ‘Chiquitita’ were followed by ABBA’s sixth album, <i>Voulez-Vous</i>, released in April 1979.

A box set entitled <em>ABBA – The Vinyl Collection</em>, containing faithful vinyl reissues of ABBA’s eight original studio LPs, was released in December 2010.

Other DVD releases include <em>ABBA In Japan </em>(featuring a vintage television special) and the short film <em>The Last Video</em>, which featured cameo appearances from the ABBA members.

That same year saw the London opening of ABBAWORLD, an authorized touring exhibition and interactive experience. The project was endorsed by the former members of the band, who also contributed items and personal video interviews. The exhibition eventually found a permanent home at ABBA The Museum in Stockholm, Sweden. Opening in May 2013, the museum was an instant success: as of early 2018, the museum has attracted more than 1.5 million visitors.</p> <p> </p> <p>In January 2016, a dinner show concept called Mamma Mia! The Party opened in Stockholm. The opening was attended by all four ABBA members, causing international headlines when they decided to stand together briefly and wave to the audience.

Almost 40 years, actually. We took a break in the spring of 1982 and now we’ve decided it’s time to end it. They say it’s foolhardy to wait more than 40 years between albums, so we’ve recorded a follow-up to “The Visitors”. To tell the truth, the main inspiration to record again comes from our involvement in creating the strangest and most spectacular concert you could ever dream of. We’re going to be able to sit back in an audience and watch our digital selves perform our songs on a stage in a custom-built arena in London next spring. Weird and wonderful!”</em></p> <p>As with all previous ABBA studio albums, <em>Voyage</em> was written and produced by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, their arrangements and lyrics complemented through the unmistakable and timeless vocals of Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad. Much of the programming and mixing was undertaken by Benny, with the album also featuring the Stockholm Concert Orchestra.</p> <p>The new album saw the four members of ABBA head back into Benny’s studio Riksmixningsverket in Stockholm over a four-year period to record the ten songs that feature on the album. These include ‘I Still Have Faith In You’, and ‘Don’t Shut Me Down’, the first two songs to be recorded in these new sessions, and that will both feature in the ABBA Voyage concert alongside a set-list of the band’s greatest hits.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="Story-Year-Item" id="story-year-2022"> <div class="Story-Year-Item__content-wrapper"> <div class="Story-Year-Item__side-col"> <div class="Story-Year-Item__side-col-inner"> <h2 class="Story-Year-Item__title">2022</h2> </div> </div> <div class="Story-Year-Item__main-col"> <div class="Story-Year-Item__text-wrapper"> <div class="Story-Year-Item__text-inner"> <h3 class="Story-Year-Item__subtitle"></h3> <div class="Story-Year-Item__text"><p><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-13867 aligncenter" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20390%20267'%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt="" width="390" height="267" data-lazy-srcset="https://abbasite.com/uploads/2022/06/ABBA-Arena-Venue-300x206.jpeg 300w, https://abbasite.com/uploads/2022/06/ABBA-Arena-Venue-1024x704.jpeg 1024w, https://abbasite.com/uploads/2022/06/ABBA-Arena-Venue-768x528.jpeg 768w, https://abbasite.com/uploads/2022/06/ABBA-Arena-Venue-1536x1056.jpeg 1536w, https://abbasite.com/uploads/2022/06/ABBA-Arena-Venue-2048x1408.jpeg 2048w, https://abbasite.com/uploads/2022/06/ABBA-Arena-Venue-1920x1320.jpeg 1920w" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 390px) 100vw, 390px" data-lazy-src="https://abbasite.com/uploads/2022/06/ABBA-Arena-Venue-300x206.jpeg" /><noscript><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-13867 aligncenter" src="https://abbasite.com/uploads/2022/06/ABBA-Arena-Venue-300x206.jpeg" alt="" width="390" height="267" srcset="https://abbasite.com/uploads/2022/06/ABBA-Arena-Venue-300x206.jpeg 300w, https://abbasite.com/uploads/2022/06/ABBA-Arena-Venue-1024x704.jpeg 1024w, https://abbasite.com/uploads/2022/06/ABBA-Arena-Venue-768x528.jpeg 768w, https://abbasite.com/uploads/2022/06/ABBA-Arena-Venue-1536x1056.jpeg 1536w, https://abbasite.com/uploads/2022/06/ABBA-Arena-Venue-2048x1408.jpeg 2048w, https://abbasite.com/uploads/2022/06/ABBA-Arena-Venue-1920x1320.jpeg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 390px) 100vw, 390px" /></noscript></p> <p> </p> <p style="text-align: left;">On May 27th the A<em>BBA Voyage Arena</em> opened in London.</p> <p style="text-align: left;">Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Anni-Frid have created the kind of concert they always wanted, performing for their fans at their very best: as digital versions of themselves backed by today’s finest musicians.</p> <p style="text-align: left;">Blurring the lines between the physical and digital, see the magic of ABBA brought to life using the latest in motion capture technology.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="Story-Year-Item" id="story-year-2023"> <div class="Story-Year-Item__content-wrapper"> <div class="Story-Year-Item__side-col"> <div class="Story-Year-Item__side-col-inner"> <h2 class="Story-Year-Item__title">2023</h2> </div> </div> <div class="Story-Year-Item__main-col"> <div class="Story-Year-Item__text-wrapper"> <div class="Story-Year-Item__text-inner"> <h3 class="Story-Year-Item__subtitle"></h3> <div class="Story-Year-Item__text"><p style="font-weight: 400;">This year ABBAs first studio album <em>Ring Ring</em> celebrated its 50th anniversary with Polar releasing a string of products;
