ABBA - Money, Money, Money (1976) 


There's no doubting that ABBA were one of the greatest pop groups of the 70's and 80's. A combination of catchy melodies, memorable lyrics and great production techniques have lead to 370 million albums being sold World-wide, and they continue to sell around 2 to 4 millions albums every year!

ABBA is actually an acroynyn formed from the first letter of the names of the band members'; Agnetha, Benny, Bjorn and Anna-Frid.

The music of ABBA was used for the 2005 musical "Mamma Mia" and also the hit movie version which was released in 2008.

ABBA released eight studio albums; "Ring Ring" (1973), "Waterloo" (1974), "Abba" (1975), "Arrival" (1976), "The Album" (1977), "Voulez-Vous" (1979), "Super Trouper" (1980) and "The Visitors" (1981). The last five albums all reached No.1 in the UK.

ABBA also released countless compilation albums, and these regularly appear in the album charts.

Of course, then we have the singles. There were so many that you often forget about some of them! My personal favourites are "Knowing Me, Knowing You" and "The Winner Takes It All", Although, like so many people, I loved ALL of their singles!
