5:46 Björn Skifs (in the band "Blue Swede") is another Eurovision artist, but he did Eurovision after the success with "Hooked on a Feeling". Representing Sweden in 1978 and 1981.

If anyone wants to listen to the only other Swedish band around the same time with a rich enough sound to compare with ABBA, go look at Adolphson & Falk. They may only have made songs in Swedish and never have reached outside of Sweden but they have one of the most interesting sounds and lyrics of the time.

ABBA's performance at Eurovision 1974 with "Waterloo" is one of the most iconic and consequential performances in pop music history. It marked the beginning of a new era in pop music, catapulting ABBA into megastardom and establishing Sweden as a pop music powerhouse, the third biggest music exporter behind only the US and the UK.

We can see ABBA dna all over modern pop. They really are geniuses.
-
I hope there will be more videos about the entries into the contest ..those have always been so fun!
-
Great analysis, thank you!
-
Exellent analysis! Thanks..
-
What a great video. AGAIN
-
An important note regarding point 4: a if not the reason they created their costumes like that is due to the swedish tax laws. They would have to pay taxes on their outfits if they were for common use, so they created outfits that were clearly not for common daily use. There you have it people: as always in history, tax evasion is the main driver for the development of our society!

This series makes me long for a video version of the podcast.

Abba's combination of happy and sad is a bit like sweet sour taste, creating a field of tension and depth.

Best band ever

Who says Arbour for ABBA?? Freaking me out.
-
First!

I absolutely love these videos but I’m going to have to beg Mark to stop pronouncing it “Ahbbah”. It’s the æ sound for both or at the very least the first A. Wrather gets it right! Please Mark, I’m on my misophonic knees
-
A-has Take on me was more famous than any song ABBA ever had :o
-
C'mon, all Cha-cha-cha fans were told last year that Loreen's win and Sweden hosting ESC this year had nothing to do with the 50th anniversary of ABBA's win. So can we just then forget about ABBA pls?😋
