Next twenty songs, written by the members of the group, ranked among the first of British hit-parades. It was a starting point of the Swedish quartet’s star way. ‘ Abba’ performed the song “ Waterloo” and was certified the absolute winner of the contest.
In the same year, the group released their first joint album titled Ring Ring, and in 1974, members of the Eurovision commission were not very strict anymore. The quartet became popular in 1973 when the song “ Ring Ring”, which never reached the Eurovision contest, topped charts of many European countries and, surprisingly or not, in Southern Africa. For example, Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson released their separate album, and a year later, they successfully tried themselves as producers. The Swedish quartet started singing in 1970 but this fact did not stop way to own projects. Soon after, they were joined by two girls – young singers Anni-Fris Lyngstad and Agnetha Fältskog, whose talents captured the attention of the musicians.
They met each other at the party and when they found common interests, two men decided to work together. The group was founded by Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson. When four Swedish musicians launched their work in 1966, they did not even think that soon their songs would blow out the world of the popular music, and their albums would top hit-parades at the beginning of the new millennium. This group is recognized one of the most successful in the music industry’s history and is the most spectacular example of how the undisputable talent and desire to win the public recognition lead to the world glory. During ten years of its existence, a famous Swedish quartet managed to become as popular as most pop-artists of that time could not even dream about.
