And yet it so nearly didn’t happen. The original Swedish entry was dropped after getting into legal troubles and the Swedish network approached ABBA to fill in; having failed to make the cut the previous year, and feeling pretty unhappy about it, they were initially reluctant, but their record company “persuaded” them to go for it.

In the early '70s, very few musical groups were making videos for their songs. Benny and Bjorn figured out early that music TV shows would play these clips and promote their songs. Since ABBA was an international group, these clips were played all around the world and helped make the band even bigger. It was a brilliant move, since was a whole decade before MTV.

Just that with Abba, Dancing Queen seems to be the groups best known & most popular track with the public & judging by Amber saying that 'everyone knows Dancing Queen' beforehand (when they reacted to another video). that it could be the one track they already knew from Abba before reacting to other tracks which they didn't know. People constantly ask Amber & Jay in comments whenever they do an Abba track to react to Dancing Queen & they haven't so far & I suggested it could be because they already know it so can't give a genuine first reaction of the song. However while (possibly) knowing the song they may not have seen the Dancing Queen video, so could react to that & in this way it would still make many who want to see their reaction to that song happy.

"Waterloo" (1974) is one of my favorites, and is in my Top 5 of all ABBA songs (with S.O.S. , Dancing Queen, The winner takes it all & Don't shut me down) and I think that is the song that change history, not only for ABBA, for Sweden and Eurovision too "Waterloo" was the song that ABBA wrote especially to participate in the annual Eurovision Song Contest By the rules of the competition the songs could not exceed 3 minutes (that its 2:46) and ABBA made a masterpiece! ABBA sing it in Swedish, for the local selection in Sweden (February 1974) and finally ABBA sing it in English in the final held in England (April 1974) before 16 interpreters and songs from all over Europe. "Waterloo" and ABBA win Eurovision for the first time for Sweden It will be Their first big worldwide hit: #1 in UK and half Europe (also South Africa), and Top 10 in U.S., Canada, Australia , New Zealand and the rest of Europe ABBA recording "Waterloo" in swedish, english, german and french Several years later, in 2005, to the 50th Eurovision anniversary, "Waterloo" was chosen as the Best Song in all the history of Eurovisión i hope you have a nice week Kind regards from Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷 South América

It's a shame though, especially given the whole reason the ESC started was to bring people together with music and it seems to be becoming less and less about the music with each passing year. I like to do a "blind" listening to the songs prior to the competition if I can (since most songs are released ahead of time), I pop them into a playlist, set it to shuffle and don't look at the names of the artist/song/country...etc. I just assign each a number, rate the songs and check to see who did what afterwards. It's really interesting, as even if they do sing in their "native" language it's not necessarily always obvious who sang what (i.e. French is common to several countries and a song can be sung in any language really, regardless of which country the representing singer is from).

A bit of history about ABBA is that it wasnt the first time ABBA tried to enter Eurovision. In Sweden they have what is called " Melodifestivalan", where the people of Sweden pick the act they want to represent Sweden at Eurovision. In 1973 ABBA entered Melodifestivalen with the song Ring Ring and finished in 3rd place with just 8 points and 29 points behind the eventual winner. Then we all know what happened the next year, ABBA won the competition with a staggering 302 points , 89 points ahead of the 2nd placed artist

Since most of the Scandinavian countries are celebrating ABBA's 50th anniversary these days, I thought it might be a good idea for you to make a reaction to "ABBA: The Movie". It's a movie shot during their trip to Australia and the managers idea was to make a movie, without the ABBA members being aware of it, the only "actors" were the "journalist" and a "bodyguard". The ABBA members were told, the cameras were for for a documentary...It's a feel good movie, that really shows, how big ABBA was in Australia. Australia opened ABBA's road to fame, after the win at the Eurovision Song Contest, their music was refused to be played on air, since they were written of as a one hit wonder, as most of the Eurovision winners. Even in their native Sweden, they didn't get any air time for a year and a half, until the Australian tour, when the UK opened their eyes for the ABBA mania, which was followed up by 19 consecutive ABBA hits!!!

I love this song but I have to admit that every time I hear it, my mind goes right to the scene in "Muriel's Wedding" when Muriel and Rhonda dance to this song. "Mamma Mia" wasn't the only movie, though technically a live musical first, that had an ABBA soundtrack prevalent in the movie. Such a fun and clever song. Definitely worthy of the win at Eurovision. 😎👍

I was 9 years old when ABBA won the Grand Prix Eurovision de la Chanson with Waterloo and their music grabbed me and hasn't let me go to this day. The style of their music is unique. They can be fast and powerful but also slow like with Eagle, which is a slower track, and this changeability was always what set them apart and you could always tell in the music what mood they were in when writing and composing .Abba were unique, something like that will no longer exist and that's why their music will accompany us for a very long time and inspire other artists. greetings from Germany🎧

Early Abba was like showtunes and early 70's Europop ditties... songs like 'Waterloo'... 'People need love' ... 'I do, I do, I do, I do, I do'... The group evolved as music technology advanced in their career.

You would love the movie Muriel’s Wedding. About a habitual liar who just wants her life to be as good as an Abba song. First movie for the mom from Sixth Sense Toni Collette.

This was ABBA's breakout hit that made them worldwide superstars. In 1974 I was living in Waterloo Belgium, and after they won the Eurovision Song Contest they visited the town to give a sort of thank you for the inspiration.

Highly recommend the movie Muriel's Wedding". This song has a starring role along with most of Abba's hits. Very funny and emotional at the same time.

The 2 very strong female vocalists have a unique, sort of natural chorus created when they sing in unison. I'll always remember ABBA for that. That and a slew of big hit songs. Considering English is their 2nd language, this song in particular is quite a lyrical feat.

I just have to echo a couple things that I've seen several comments on already. Watch Muriel's Wedding on your movie channel. Toni Collette (Cole's mom in Sixth Sense) launched her career starring as Muriel. The scene with this song is great! Second, you really need to hear Dancing Queen next. It's ABBA's biggest hit, and I know you'll love it! I'll be here cheering you on to half a million subs! But you definitely get more than 500k smiles a day. I often watch with my sister, and I know lots of others love to share your reactions with important people in their lives. Thanks so much for being a joyful part of our days!

I remember watching Eurovision when they won with this. There was so many great songs entered that year. The Italian entry was a gorgeous ballad called Si by Gigliolia Cinquetti which in any other year would have won . Another was I See a Star by Dutch act Mouth and McNeal who had a top ten US hit in 72 with How do you do and Olivia Newton John represented the UK with the fourth placed song Long Live Love . All if those could have won any other year ,but when ABBA came out and the girls started singing everyone knew it was special
