Mama Mia!


ABBA were part of the "super league of the music business", writes music historian Carl Magnus Palm in “ABBA: Story and Songs Compact”. 

They have sold at least 380 million albums since their breakthrough at the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest, some estimates even put it at 500 million records. 

After the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, Björn Ulvaeus, Agnetha Fältskog, Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Benny Andersson, whose initials make up the group's name, are the most successful band of all time. 

Despite personal crises between the band members and a hiatus that began in 1982 and lasted for four decades, their music is still a commercial success. 

Here are my 6 favorite ABBA songs:

Did you know that in 2000, they turned down an offer of a €1 billion world tour? 

Yesterday, Liverpool kept pace with the Premier League's leading pack as Mohamed Salah's 100th English top-flight goal helped them to victory against Leeds United. 

The Egyptian forward was perfectly placed to tap in Trent Alexander-Arnold's low cross and give the Reds a 20th-minute advantage. Fabinho bundled home the second in the fiftieth minute following a corner. And Sadio Mane’s low finish into the far bottom corner in stoppage time gave the Reds a big 3-0 win and three points. 

A good display of attacking football. It's been a long time.
