Why Are Abba So Popular?
http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20140415-why-are-abba-so-popular 15 April 2014 Why are Abba so popular? By Andrew Harrison (AP) The Swedish group burst onto the world stage 40 years ago this month – and are still one of the most successful bands of all time. Andrew Harrison asks why. When you’ve sold as many records as Abba have – and only The Beatles have sold more – specific figures become hazy. They disappear into a statistical stratosphere occupied by a tiny elite of global megastars. There are simply too many territories to report on, too many releases to keep track of, too many vast numbers to juggle. All one can say with any certainty is that the Swedish quartet have sold in excess of 380m albums and singles since they first came to prominence 40 years ago this month, winning the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest with a performance of Waterloo that still ranks as the high point of the much-maligned transcontinental cheese-fest. At their commercial zenith in the late ‘70s Abba were reputedly second only to Volvo in their contribution to Sweden’s exports. Such was the demand for their music that their management had to arrange for royalties from the Soviet Union to be paid in oil commodity rights rather than the embargoed rouble. This was unprecedented popularity for an act from outside the English-speaking world, and as the recorded music business accustoms itself to the reduced circumstances of the digital age it seems unlikely that another artist will ever better it. Meanwhile, critically rehabilitated and driven on by the Mamma Mia! juke-box musical which has now played to over 54m people worldwide, the band’s records continue to sell.

Abba's Benny Andersson
Bill Oppenheim, October 26, 2011-The Name of the Game: Abba=s Benny Andersson THE NAME OF THE GAME: ABBA'S BENNY ANDERSSON In October, 1964, two months before his 18th birthday, Benny Andersson joined the Swedish pop band, The Hep Stars--later known as Athe Swedish Beatles@--as their keyboardist. Four and a half decades later the music of Benny Andersson and his writing partner of 45 years, Bjorn Ulvaeus, is played as much, if not more, than the tunes of Lennon and McCartney. Benny and Benny Andersson Bjorn, as they used to be known, were the BB=s of ABBA, and its spinoff of almost two decades later, the musical >Mamma Mia.= ABBA are cited by Wikipedia as the number four best-selling music artists of all time, while the musical is cited by the same source as having been seen by 42 million people worldwide and grossing more than $2-billion. The film version, released in 2008, is reported to be the highest grossing movie musical of all time. >Popular= doesn=t even begin to describe it. To racing professionals, and a lesser degree the racing public, in Britain and Europe, Benny Andersson is not just a superstar songwriter and performer--he=s also an enthusiastic horse owner and breeder, having always had a horse or two with trainer John Dunlop for the last 15 years, beginning with Mondschein (>Moonlight= in German--named, like all Benny=s horses--after a song, something musical, in this case Beethoven=s Moonlight Sonata, or someone or something Swedish), a Rainbow Quest filly bought by Andersson as a yearling.
