During the course of their career the musicians sold well over 370 million albums and singles worldwide and are still selling strong. ABBA stands among the best selling music artists of all time. They also hold the record for being the first pop group from a non-English speaking country to become an instant success in English speaking countries like, Ireland, Britain, United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and the Philippines.

Other than gaining popularity in English speaking countries, the group was successful in Latin America as well. They even recorded many hit songs in Spanish. ABBA was well known for their colorful costumes and outfits which became the epitome of the 70s fashion. The group music, arrangements and production were all very detailed. Their techniques are an inspiration for performers till today. They were perfectionists who worked tirelessly on their tracks and would not leave the studio until they were satisfied with what they had produced.

In 1974, the group took part in the Eurovision Song Contest in Brighton, England with the song Waterloo, which knocked out the competition by winning the first prize. Britain was now well aware of the potential success which the group from Sweden was going to receive. The glam-rock song performed by ABBA had firmly put the group high on the music map. The song topped the UK charts and reached number six on the US charts.

In 1975 they released their self-titled album, which contained the single SOS that became a top ten hit. The group was no longer a 'one hit wonder.' The musicians soon earned a huge fan base as well as the title of "mega group."  It also saw the mushrooming of other similar  music bands which incorporated both genders in the lineup in an effort to copy ABBA’s success.


ABBA as a musical group has earned a legendary status in the music industry. Even though the group split up during the 80s, it still enjoys a loyal fan following that still follows and cherishes the band’s tunes to this day. There have been several shows held to pay tribute to the pop icons.
