ABBA are arguably the greatest pop group of all time and are just as popular today as they were 50 years ago. When each new generation discovers the genius of their music it keeps their popularity going 'On and On and On' This guys journey has just begun & what a treat he has in store!!
An epitome of how a perfect pure pop music song could sound like.Even after 49 years since it was released there's still nothing to change or even dare to touch.A huge classic both in music culture and history.
ABBA wrote all thier own songs and weree together as a group for 10 years from 1972-82. They came to fame by being the first group to win the huge Eurovision Song Contest with a song called Waterloo. After a slightly shaky start post contest, despite some banging songs they got to no.1 again in the Uk and all over Europe with this song. After that there was no looking back. 9 UK number 1 songs, 8 number 1 studio albums and other greatest hits. Worldwide sell out tours. They always had super high quality production on all their music and all pre auto tune. Their melodies and lyrics became more sofisticated as they grew with some of the best loved songs of all time.
You have discovered a gold mine! ABBA had 19 world-wide hits. People write them off without listening. Every son is different though each one sounds like ABBA. I encourage you to check out more.
Welcome to ABBA (pronounced one word "abba") Huge in the 70's and still popular, famed for their hooks and harmonies. You must surely have heard "Dancing Queen"? Anyhow try "SOS" and the 1975 TV performance to see their simple charm on stage.
@@LilmannReacts Welcome to Abba!I get you haven't been exposed to their glorious pop music world and you're into different kind of stuff but they got a sparkling catalogue of classics and i'm certain there would be something by them that could occupy your interest in future time.
My favourite performance of "Mamma Mia", is when ABBA went on the show "Top Of The Pops" (U.K.), around Christmas 1976. It was all "Live", no lip-synching whatsoever on that performance, with all Live band and instruments. 👍
Check out ABBA live at Wembley, this song live is awesome and longer. Also worth seeing Abba Japan 1978 "if it wasn't for the nights" and "Knowing me Knowing you" And "S.O.S. live so good And there are many more live in Australia............
Wow glad you're discovering ABBA they are one of the greatest groups ever. They have sild 400 million records. They were 2 married couples from Sweden. The red haired girl married the pianist ( they lived together for 8 years begor marrying) and the blonde haired girl married the guitarist. ABBA is the first initials of their first names Agnetha blonde girl Bjorn the guitarist Benny the pianist Ani-Frid aka Frida red hair girl The guys wrote all their songs and played many instruments. The girls both had amazing voices and took turn singing lead in songs but no one can harmonize like Agnetha and Frida. When they sing together it is called ABBAs third voice
I'm so glad to see You for first time reaction to ABBA songs "Mamma Mía" (1975) for me is the best pure pop If someone ask me for what is a pop song, i give this video and song "Mamma Mía" have all elements: catchy melodies, more hooks, beauty voices and harmonies, and a distintive sound with a marimba; it's funny, it's adictive, It's a great song It could be in my Top 10 of all ABBA songs "Mamma Mía" have a story ABBA was recording their third album, the self-titled "ABBA", and "Mamma Mia" was the last song recorded ABBA filmed four videos in only two days to promote their songs; "Mamma Mía was one of these; Also ABBA lunch a new single, but "Mamma Mía" wasn't choose These is an iconic official video for which in Australia they asked that "Mamma Mía" be released as a single; and finally ABBA did it , and it was #1 in Australia for 10 weeks and ABBAmania woke up there When the single was released in UK, it had a slow but steady rise to #1 and from there toppling none other than 'Bohemian Rhapsody' by Queen in the end of January 1976 (48 years ago) "Mamma Mía" was recorded more before than "Bohemian Rhapsody", but was released much later as a single "Mamma mia" is follow by the phrase 'here I go again' , in "Bohemian Rhapsody" the following phrase is 'let me go' "Mamma Mia" together with their predecessor single "S.O.S." are the two songs that gave ABBA its musical identity as a pop group, and began ABBA's great series of more than 20 worldwide hits for seven consecutive years consecutives I hope to see you soon with more reactions to ABBA my suggestion is to "S.O.S." (1975) my favourite ABBA song of all time My best regards from Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷 South America P.S.1: "Mamma Mia" also is a tittle of a great musical and of two succesful movies, inspired in all ABBA songs and directed by ABBA songwriters P.D.2: ABBA begin their greatest histoty with the victory in Eurovision 1974 with their iconic song "Waterloo" last April was their 50th anniversary and ABBA have a lot of homenages in Eurovision, UK and Sweden and last May 30 all four ABBA members was honred by the Kings of Sweden
If u wanna try smth diverse by them go for 'The Name of the Game".Hip Hop band The Fugees sampled this for their 'Rumble in the Jungle" hit.There's an impressive variety and versatility in Abba's music.It wasn't one colour but multi shaded.
As a young boy I had a huge crush on Agnetha she was my angel . Now I'm 49yrs old never married. She's still my angel even though now she's like 70-80 yrs old.
I wonder how it would be like discovering ABBA now. As a kid from the 70s in Sweden, I got to know ABBA through osmosis almost. They have sort of always been there.
No, because Mamma Mia was released in 1975 whereas Grease was released in 1978. The group is pronounced Abb ba in English. In Swedish it is Aaaab ba. It's made up of the initials of their first names: Agnetha - The blonde (Anna) Björn - The guitarist Benny - Piano player Anni-Frid - The brunette (Frida)
Catchy jingle? Surprised no one has used it in a song today? It has been used many times, in many different ways. And that "catchy jingle" is one of the catchiest pop songs ever. And most played. The song pushed Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody from number one in the UK Singles Charts. Interestingly, both songs feature the phrase “mamma mia” in their lyrics. No, I'm not thinking of Grease. But when I see Grease, I think of ABBA. Great reaction!
I was thinking more about the "Greased Lightnin" song than the video. Some early ABBA songs were influenced by 50s rock 'n' roll mixed with 60s pop vocals (Phil Spector) like "So Long", "Why Did Have To Be Me", "Rock Me" and others. Now… the music video for "Mamma Mia" (1975) pre-dates "Grease" (1978) by a few years, and other ABBA music videos use the same white background… "Waterloo" (1974) and "Ring Ring" (1973). All those songs mentioned are more similar to "Mamma Mia" than other ABBA songs. Check it out!✌️
A side comment First, welcome to the ABBA music catalog the iconic swedish quartet that continues to make great history in pop music They have currently been in the news for the last two year and a half, for returning with a successful new album after almost 40 years, and inaugurating a new stadium in London in May 2022 to do their new concerts with ABBAtars from Them and a live backing band. ABBA was not a big success in the United States They had 4 Top 10 singles: #6 Waterloo #1 Dancing Queen #3 Take a chance on me #8 The winner takes it all ABBA's greatest success was in Europe (especially UK and Germany) and Australia, also in Latin America and South Africa ABBA has more than 20 world hits most are on their compilation album Gold (1992) sales record and permanence in the charts Just two years ago, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the GOLD album, ABBA launched this Lyric Videos campaign (which recently won an international award) with 20 videos of their greatest hits. You can take any of them, you will NOT go wrong Now, if you want to delve into the history of ABBA, my suggestion is that you follow the chronological order, to see its musical evolution. And your worldwide hists start with "Waterloo", the night that ABBA won Eurovision 1974 in the UK. remember that ABBA is a swedish quartet that recording between 1972/1982 and last between 2016/2021 their name is an acronim of first letters of their first names A- Agnetha (blonde singer) B- Björn (guitarist songwriter) B- Benny (pianist songwriter) A- Anni Frid 'Frida' (brunette singer) ABBA also in the beginig was two couples since 1969 Agnetha & Björn married in July 1971 separated at Dicember 1978, with two childrens Benny & Frida married in October 1978, separated in 1981

Grease... 😂 No, my dear young friend i have never related ABBA with Grease. You are by the way looking at what is often mentioned as the best band in the history of pip. "I like it" kind of doesn't cut it, I believe.
You don't know ABBA? So you know nothing about music, my friend! You don't even know about Mamma Mia! the two movies, first and second, full of ABBA songs? But where have you lived until now, guy?
From what i've checked our friend here is a youngster into American music, rap 'n stuff so logically not as familiar with our ABBA and of course he's from the US, (smth i was sure about it from the first moment i heard him wondering if he pronounced the name of the band the right way).Yet i'm pleased that he liked this.
@@LilmannReacts Here in Europe (Australia,Latin America etc)this Swedish band is a phenomenon since decades.A pop music royalty with an estimation of over 400 million records sold.There are also 2 box office smash music-movies (2008/2018 Meryl Streep and Cher were part of the cast)and a worldwide theatrical buster that was woven around their songs on which the script supposedly took place in a Greek island titled 'Mamma mia"/"Here we go again".ABBA is kinda panGenerational in music culture and tradition here.Have a nice week.
@@christianoazzuro6711 You are a true gentleman. You can accept that somebody hasn't heard your favourite band without making a comment like "Have you been living under a rock", and instead you politely give some helpful information. I wish there were more people online like you.
@@AdventuresInAI Oh thanx,Well tbh some years ago i was also kinda upset if not kinda furious about it deep inside but managed my temper lol..But then i thought calmly saying to my self "ok man think logically, how can you expect these people know smth that haven't been exposed to it?Of course sometimes there are false reactors who pretent to be unfamiliar to an artist but on the other hand there are lots of them(mainly from US) who grew up to different culture and so i'm kinda glad and quite proud whenever they discover and aprove of past acts that i love.So they are all welcomed,that's all.

Can't believe that you've never heard of ABBA.
You won't regret going on the ABBA journey!
❤❤❤❤
ABBA where a hit making machine, 18 number one hits, songs which have past the test of time.
An epitome of how a perfect pure pop music song could sound like.Even after 49 years since it was released there's still nothing to change or even dare to touch.A huge classic both in music culture and history.
ABBA. You can pretty much put them in the same category as Elvis, The Beatles, MJ, they are one of the most successful music acts of all time.
Some put them on a tier above all of those even.
ABBA wrote all thier own songs and weree together as a group for 10 years from 1972-82. They came to fame by being the first group to win the huge Eurovision Song Contest with a song called Waterloo. After a slightly shaky start post contest, despite some banging songs they got to no.1 again in the Uk and all over Europe with this song.

They always had super high quality production on all their music and all pre auto tune. Their melodies and lyrics became more sofisticated as they grew with some of the best loved songs of all time.
Yes and If we sum up Voyage LP and rest of their GH albums then they got 10 number one albums in the UK.
ABBA the best and most talented group of all time, check out their other songs, there's plenty to choose from, and they just get better
You have discovered a gold mine! ABBA had 19 world-wide hits. People write them off without listening. Every son is different though each one sounds like ABBA. I encourage you to check out more.
Welcome to ABBA (pronounced one word "abba")
Huge in the 70's and still popular, famed for their hooks and harmonies.
You must surely have heard "Dancing Queen"?
Anyhow try "SOS" and the 1975 TV performance to see their simple charm on stage.
This song was released in 1975, 2 years before Grease was released in cinemas so maybe they took inspiration from ABBA
💯
This guy lives on planet jupiter 😂 my 6 yo niece knows ABBA! even our dogs dances to dancing queen
Never was played around me . Maybe i was😏

You mentioned grease but there is a movie called Mamma Mia and it's set on a Greek island using a lot of Abba's hits.
I'm so glad to see You for first time reaction to ABBA songs
"Mamma Mía" (1975)
for me is the best pure pop
If someone ask me for what is a pop song, i give this video and song
"Mamma Mía" have all elements:
catchy melodies, more hooks, beauty voices and harmonies, and a distintive sound with a marimba;
it's funny, it's adictive, It's a great song It could be in my Top 10 of all ABBA songs
"Mamma Mía" have a story
ABBA was recording their third album, the self-titled "ABBA", and "Mamma Mia" was the last song recorded
ABBA filmed four videos in only two days to promote their songs;
"Mamma Mía was one of these; Also ABBA lunch a new single, but "Mamma Mía" wasn't choose
These is an iconic official video for which in Australia they asked that "Mamma Mía" be released as a single;
and finally ABBA did it , and it was #1 in Australia for 10 weeks and ABBAmania woke up there
When the single was released in UK, it had a slow but steady rise to #1
and from there toppling none other than 'Bohemian Rhapsody' by Queen
in the end of January 1976 (48 years ago)
"Mamma Mía" was recorded more before than "Bohemian Rhapsody",
but was released much later as a single
"Mamma mia" is follow by the phrase 'here I go again' ,
in "Bohemian Rhapsody" the following phrase is 'let me go'
"Mamma Mia" together with their predecessor single "S.O.S."
are the two songs that gave ABBA its musical identity as a pop group,
and began ABBA's great series of more than 20 worldwide hits for seven consecutive years consecutives
I hope to see you soon with more reactions to ABBA
my suggestion is to "S.O.S." (1975)
my favourite ABBA song of all time
My best regards from
Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷
South America
P.S.1: "Mamma Mia" also is a tittle of a great musical and of two succesful movies,
inspired in all ABBA songs and directed by ABBA songwriters
P.D.2: ABBA begin their greatest histoty with the victory in Eurovision 1974 with their iconic song "Waterloo"
last April was their 50th anniversary and ABBA have a lot of homenages in Eurovision, UK and Sweden
and last May 30 all four ABBA members was honred by the Kings of Sweden

First, welcome to the ABBA music catalog
the iconic swedish quartet that continues to make great history in pop music
They have currently been in the news for the last two year and a half,
for returning with a successful new album after almost 40 years,
and inaugurating a new stadium in London in May 2022
to do their new concerts with ABBAtars from Them and a live backing band.
ABBA was not a big success in the United States
They had 4 Top 10 singles:
#6 Waterloo
#1 Dancing Queen
#3 Take a chance on me
#8 The winner takes it all
ABBA's greatest success was in Europe (especially UK and Germany)
and Australia, also in Latin America and South Africa
ABBA has more than 20 world hits
most are on their compilation album Gold (1992)
sales record and permanence in the charts
Just two years ago, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the GOLD album,
ABBA launched this Lyric Videos campaign (which recently won an international award)
with 20 videos of their greatest hits.
You can take any of them, you will NOT go wrong
Now, if you want to delve into the history of ABBA,
my suggestion is that you follow the chronological order, to see its musical evolution.
And your worldwide hists start with "Waterloo", the night that ABBA won Eurovision 1974 in the UK.
remember that ABBA is a swedish quartet
that recording between 1972/1982 and last between 2016/2021
their name is an acronim of first letters of their first names
A- Agnetha (blonde singer)
B- Björn (guitarist songwriter)
B- Benny (pianist songwriter)
A- Anni Frid 'Frida' (brunette singer)
ABBA also in the beginig was two couples since 1969
Agnetha & Björn married in July 1971 separated at Dicember 1978, with two childrens
Benny & Frida married in October 1978, separated in 1981
