Greatest Pop Band of all times, tons of hits
No autotune. Everyone sounded different. Everyone looked like themselves, individual. Oh and it was shot on film. Change not all for the better.....
Every office party, wedding disco, Christmas or New Year celebration will play this to fill the dance floor with joyful older women, who are all dancing queens in their own minds. ABBA was the perfect pop group.
They are not just dancing queens in their own minds, they are young, beautifull and sexy again, so are the men.
My son loved to listen to Fernando!
Abba pioneered the video clip. Agnetha had young children and didn’t want to tour so much. The video clip was perfect to get their faces out there. Lasse Hallstrom was the director of their clips. He made movies like ‘chocolate’ , ‘the shipping news’. The cider house rules’ to name a few.
ABBA is a great rabbit hole to go down. So many hits! If you want to see groups dancing, try The Temptations.
Yes, they certainly pre-date ABBA
50+ years ago. ABBA was not only popular but were groundbreaking as artists. Their music was always upbeat and happy. You want to know how it made me feel? Always happy and ready to dance. They were OG for music videos for which there was no outlet until MTV. Us Baby Boomers were hitting our stride and happy to dance along with ABBA ❤
Known for their incredible harmonies, outlandish outfits and bridging the gap between Disco and Pop music. Also known for writing and performing songs, patterned after their own personal lives. They poured emotion and their entire soul into each and every performance.
The Winner Takes it all is a Must!
They’re not famous for their dancing. Their voices and harmony, timelessness.
ABBA are a wee phenomenon to themselves. some of the best harmonies you'll ever hear. some of the catchyest hooks and rhythms. going to enjoy you finding out more about abba. (and there's a whole lot more to find ) nice one . :D
The first time this was performed was at a show that was part of the celebrations of the wedding of the king of Sweden. The show was the night before the wedding, so Silvia was not yet a queen. But it was first performed for a real queen-to-be.
Frida later married a friend of the king, and is now among the friends of the royal couple.
Welcome to the iconic world of ABBA!
great song from a great band and a great reaction. love me some ABBA! yes these were 2 married couples from Sweden. the red head/brunette married the pianist and the blonde married the guitarist. the name ABBA come from the initials of their first names
Agnethea blonde girl
Bjorn guitarist
Benny pianist
Ani-Frid aka Frida red haired girl
the guys wrote all their songs and played many instruments and did back up vocals. the girls bothe had fabulous voices especially Frida who was trained in opera and jazz. they took turns on lead songs or as in this one harmonized together. that was often called ABBAs third voice. no one harmonized like Frida and Agnethea.. and yes especially Frida loved to dance and move on stage. she took professional dance lessons 5 days a week and her teacher said she could have done it professionaly. please do more ABBA. try one of their other hits Fernando, Money Money Money, Name Of The Game, . remember there was no Mtv or anything like that back then. these videos were called promos to promote their albums. they were one of the first to do it.. I love you noticed how they replied on pure talent not distractions like naked women, fancy get ups, or back up dancers. they did it all themselves
'I love you noticed how they replied on pure talent not distractions like naked women, fancy get ups, or back up dancers. they did it all themselves'
Yes Sir!
That's ight my girl, your last phrase was the sum of it all.
Dancing Queen did what it said on the tin, it got everyone up and dancing in discos, at weddings, at parties. Tbh that's why we loved Abba, they made music that made you smile and feel good. They also did some amazing slow songs, like 'The Winner takes it all' which was done when Agnetha (blonde one) and Bjorn's marriage was ending. The group ultimately split because Agnetha didn't like being away from their children and she was never comfortable with all the fame and attention.
I was 9, growing up outside Stockholm, Sweden🇸🇪 when this came out. I played air guitar and sang into a folded notestand.😂
This album "Arrival" has several good songs. "Knowing me, knowing you" for example.
They have ALOT of super good hits! Check them out.👌🏽 Classy sound and their voices are amazing together.
(And I'm a Soul/funk junkie + Tom McD + Ren fan.)
Bro creating such videos in the past was pure art, everything counts and here comes the magic.
Agnetha and Frida had solo songs, but their united voice, like on this song, was a miraculous thing. They blended perfectly. Frida’s voice was lower, so she adds power to the lower parts of the song, and Agnetha had the higher voice, adding richness when they sang high. Put them together, and you get songs like this with ridiculously wide ranges. And remember, no pitch correction in 70s! They just sang amazingly in tune.
I became a fan of Abba in 1975 when I heard SOS and Mamma Mia. And I've loved them ever since. The incredible thing about Abba is that they broke up in 1982 after just 10 years as a group, and then 39 years later (in 2021) they came back and put out a new album. And they sounded as great as ever. A fantastic song from that album (called Voyage) that you could do is Don't Shut Me Down. Also great from that is I Still Have Faith in You. Hearing them come back was so emotional for me. And it gave me a hopeful feeling that had been missing. Other classic hits I'd recommend would be Knowing Me Knowing You, Mamma Mia, Voulez-Vous, Take a Chance on Me, and the Winner Takes it All. But there are dozens more. I hope you keep going with them.
ABBA is from their names, Anni-Frid (or Frida, the brunette), Agneta (the blond), Benny (on piano, who wrote most of the melodies) and Björn (on guitar, who wrote most of the lyrics). They had numerous hits, so check out more!
The greatest pop song of all time from the greatest group of all time
nope. the beatles are the GOAT.
You gotta remember there weren’t ‘music videos’ per se before MTV. These would be done for a TV show or something. 📺 ❤
Motown has the most synchronized dancing. Check out the temptations or gladys knight and the pips. This song is alot of fun to dance to.
Disco was entirely about dancing. It was an almost all-consuming explosion. In fact, the later rise of Acid House and, indeed, what goes on today, feels almost parochial by comparison. Incidentally, this track was inspired by George McCrae's huge 1974 hit 'Rock your Baby' - which is worthy of its own reaction.
I would dare to suggest that it's impossible to grow up in the UK and not to encounter ABBA in some way: radio, tv, theatre, cinema, their songs pop up everywhere
Abba music was very prominent in the 2 Mamma Mia movies!
Gotta see the video for their first huge hit--SOS. I still love that song...
Their first huge hit Is Waterloo (1974)
Their second worldwide hit Is S.O.S. (1975)
biorh with Dancing Queen are my Top3 ABBA songs
I was 17 when this was relessed. My passion was rollerskating with friends on Saturday nights with great music. Dancing Queen was one of the songs. Disco was starting to boom.
You just can't go wrong with a bit of ABBA, brilliant👏. When you mentioned that they were dancing my first thought was Freddie and the Dreamers. They didn't exactly stand still 😁. 'Do the Freddie' anyone 😅
Dancing queen was princess Diana ... RIP.
They was 2 couples...
🅰️ Agnetha (blond girl) &
🅱️ Björn (guitar, songwriter) and
🅱️ Benny (piano, songwriter) &
🅰️ Anni-Frid (Frida)(brunette girl).
Happy songs, sad songs, disco songs... Great voices... Wonderful harmonies and catchy melodies...
BEST ⭐ POP ⭐ BAND ⭐ EVER!
Try 'Mamma Mia' 🙏
Take care, Jay✌️
Greetings ❤ from Chile 🇨🇱🤗👍
❤ great reaction. Yes the Girls were all natural. I have followed them from the start. 🎉
The guitarist was married to the blonde while the pianist was married to the brunette. Both couples divorced in the early 80's (80 & 81 I think) and the group split up.
Disco and roller rink hit.
I was there rollerskating in the 70s. Great memories.. The disco has gone but I still rollerskate, and that brings it all back.
bro am Gen Z and even I've heard of abba because my mum played their songs in the car, bro be living under a wacky rock fr fr
Yes they were more natural before❤️
and still gorgeous!
@@christianoazzuro6711 Yes!❤️
listen to "the name of the game" and "knowing me, knowing you"...
This takes me back to extreme childhood. There was an assertion made at one point that ABBA were Sweden's biggest export after Volvo. Which tracks. This was a transatlantic No.1 (the only time they made serious headway in the US), but they were much bigger in Britain - scoring 9 chart-topping singles and 10 No.1 albums. And yet, for all that, they seemed to have zero 'cool'. If I talk to older cousins, they are almost contemptuous of them. But the stats talk for themselves.
Remember that ABBA is the iconic Swedish pop quartet, the best, most versatile and most important of the 70s, in the post BEATLES decade (the revolutionary group of the 60s)
ABBA, as in its time BEATLES, was a musical and cultural phenomenon, and its legacy lives on
remember that ABBA is an acrostic with initials of their first names; initialy They was two couples:
A- Agnetha (blonde lead vocal) &
B- Björn (guitarist and songwriter)
B- Benny (pianist and songwriter) &
A- Anni Frid (brunette lead vocal)
(both couples separated before the breakup of the group in 1982)
"Dancing Queen" (1976) is a beautiful song, which shines in the loftiness of its vocal harmonies
the blonde singer Agnetha is soprano voice,
the brunette singer Frida is mezzo soprano voice,
and blending together made the famous and fantastic 'third voice of ABBA'
And the music is bright and enveloping, from the initial chord it introduces you into the atmosphere of the disco and invites you to dance
English public has voted it as one of the songs they want to hear the most, because of the feeling of joy and energy it gives them (another is "Don't stop me now" by Queen)
And in 2015 "Dancing Queen" was included in the Hall of Fame of Rock and Roll music
ABBA recording between 1972/1982, have a wonderful series of more than 20 worldwide hits (and also 50 another great songs), included nine #1 in UK:
Waterloo
Mamma Mia
Fernando
Dancing Queen
Knowing me knowing you
The name of the game
Take a chance on me
The winner takes it all
Super trouper
And after more than 35 years ABBA return to studio in 2017 and recording a full new album "Voyage" between 2017/2021 released in November 2021 and is a worldwide succes
ABBA begin to be famous in 1974, when They won the Eurovision Song Contest in UK with their iconic song "Waterloo"
Last April 2024 was their 50th anniversary and Eurovisión gives a tribute to ABBA and Waterloo
Muy suggestion Is to react the live perfomance of ABBA ay Eurovisión in Brighton UK 1974
I hope to see more reactions to ABBA
GOD bless you
my best regards from
Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷
South America
I have always found this song so mournful. I would weep as a burgeoning gay youth when it came on the radio in Canada. I guess it has something to do with the contrasting piano chord descensions and the string ascensions. It was in the mid/late seventies when the song was released. Thing always came to us a little late in western Canada.
Great reaction ✌️ you should check out Junp by Van Halen. KISS I was made for loving you, CHarlie Daniels The devil went down to Georgia
Cheers

Sos is my favorite
Love this song ❤❤❤
ABBA music also inspired the film Mamma Mia (another of their hits)

Jayf,
Dancing with singing and videos and a lot in movies went back to at least the 40’s maybe even further. Hung Crosby and bob hope in white Christmas, a lot of the big musical with great big numbers of dancers and actors singing and dancing, singing in the rain bug dance and sing movie, then to the fifties with Elvis jailhouse rock that you can find to react to. But all throughout the 50’s with doo wops, music out of Motown with the girl groups and the boy quartets many of the black singers, dancer, and musicians. And Michael Jackson and the Jackson five just did things live with choreographied dancing. The temptations a black group were in there. Gladys night and her pips family members were her backup singers and dancers. Music videos all had dancing from the very early start on MTV And VH1. Janet Jackson Paula Abdul and Madonna all had dancing and singing and dancing videos. You’re young and your channel is young so you may not have gotten into the catalogues of singers with dancing groiups. It’s all out there to find on you tube. Elvis has black hair. Did you know he was born a tow headed white blond boy? He never kpliked that and out black shoe police on his hair. Elvis even after movies and a strong career was drafted like bts and served in the military in Germany for I think three years. There’s just a lot of dancers after the fifties with the twist and rock coming about.
Check out Roy Orbison "Crying" and Patsie Cline "Crazy"
Check out Motown for dancing groups like the Temptations……sooo many great groups!
You should try there song Gimme, Gimme , Gimme and Mamma Mia
videos were not really quite a thing yet, they were more concert clips, or performance clips at this time and the dancing thing was natural...many groups did synchronized moves...i am sure you will start seeing it when you get into more of the 50's 60's group singers like the Shirelles, the four tops et al...music videos we not as much a form for selling music until the 70's...and yes by then sexualizing people became more of a thing in videos because as we all know sex sells💗
Abba in my life was road trip music, we had the readers digest box set on tape, and whenever we travelled we listened to it, because it was the only music the family could agree on to hear, whenever we couldn't find good radio transmissions...ohh just realized you also never had to deal with trying to find a radio channel in a car while travelling 😂😊
🙉
Thanks again for the fun
✌🌸💕
In '50's/60's acts had quite fun with their synchronised dance moves. There was a charm that now has left a fine nostalgic retro feeling ,most of it in dreamy black n white vision.Yet i loved Abba's kinda "non-marionettic" dance moves.They still looked adorably cute.What i couldn't relate was what followed later decades that got out of hands imo.All i could see in late MTV and after were acts doing same dance routines with dancers behind moving like marionettes or (if i get caustic) ... even jumping up n down like monkeys at times,which really made me get fed up of all this scenery.It still repeats today in many 'live' shows apart from some decent exceptions who don't overdo it or do it 'well 'etc.So Abba was fine by me just the way they were.
@@alexioverdo5225 that could be a whole other rabbit hole, dance through modern times... I do go out dancing often, as it's one of favourite things to do... And not many Kidz really know how to dance beyond tiktok whatever's,,🙈🙊... And Jay is right about their sexualized moves, trying to be sexy, doesn't make you sexy
@@kerriniemi9525 Being an Abba fan since 1979 .... imo they didn;t have to put much effort in getting sexy,the girls were naturally beautiful and sexy even without nudity.But even at their sexiest moments they still walked the tight rope between sexyness and naivety flavoured with decency.Never cheap or vulgar.
@@alexioverdo5225 exactly
@@kerriniemi9525 😇
WHAT you mean today, it's overly staged, plastic, very controlled and manufactured.. back then nearly 50 years ago lots of thing were live... This was a live setting not manufactured..
💕
FERNANDO 😂
Doo Wop groups from the 50's. Groups in the 60's. Jackson 5 and The Osmond Brothers in the 70's. What ABBA is doing isn't synchronized dance moves compared to them.
I love ABBA music but they weren't known for dance moves.
You have never seen people dance and the music video?
You mentioned choeragraphy ..... the doowop groups of the 50s were famous for that ... try the Temptations, for example
I know some people will get offended, but basically too bad.
I have never liked a single song ABBA ever made. I was a teenager when they started, and I have never liked them or the music. 🤮
It's ok to have a different opinion.It's rightful and fine if it's honest and expressed in a civil way.We can't all like the same dish.Btw which music artists did/do you fancy?
@@alexioverdo5225 Nonetheless I wonder why she is here when she has to vomit when she hears ABBA. One can say it in a nicer way than showing a vomitting emoji. But for me such people are nothing but trolls. If I don't like an artist/band I don't watch videos of them and tell other people how awful these artists/bands are. 🙄
@@Lisa-M 'vomiting emoji?!',is that it really?Hmm, i didn't notice,even though sometimes i use emoji's i'm not so much aware of all their meanings,lol.well what can i say..... "how sad." JUst "Let the music speak".😊
@@alexioverdo5225 Yes it is. In the emoji section you can see the meaning of the emojis when you move your mouse over it.
They’ve sold more albums than the Beatles
Thank you.
All the suggestions given by other commenters for music to listen to are excellent. Please listen to Billy Joel; "Leningrad" from his 1989 album "Storm Front" is a personal favourite.
More ABBA please! This is a DEEEEP rabbit hole! 😍😍😍
Abba have sold over 450 million albums and have a musical that has taken over 5 billion worldwide.
Your smile says it all.. It's real. I dedicate this to my mum x
Good for you, noticing that the "girls aren't sexualised". I've always said the great thing about ABBA was that Agneta and Anni-Frid could simply stand there, fully clothed, and deliver emotional songs without all that stuff. A mark of great music.
Even today, play this at a party and you've got yourself a dance floor filler 😊. Love your reaction, and your enjoyment of an iconic song
Musicvideo (promoclips) was not andatory in the 70's , before MTV
Try to find music videos with Eagles, hotel California One of these night, ABBA made over 40 videos in the 70's and a few more 2021-2024.
1976, ABBA made 3 music videos for a total cost of 50 000 SEK, That's slightly more than a new std Volvo
Imagine a huge atist doing a music video with a budget of 15 000 USD
The spend much more than 15 000 USd in preproduction and legal cost
Of course you've heard it somewhere before.Btw there in the UK , their Greatest hits album 'GOLD" released in 1992 holds the record for the most weeks in the weekly album charts ever and is also the 2nd best selling album ever again (with over 6 million units sold) right after Queen's 'Greatest hits".A goldmine regarding pop music.Still this week in UK's top 20 after passing from the no1 spot in 3 different periods.1992/1999 and again in 2008!
Man, this is one of the best songs ever written. The band are among the best ever. Promise - you’ll be surprised 😊
Try “Arrival”
They have so many hits! Great reaction!
You should react to all of their songs from the first album to the last in chronological order. Maybe you will be disappointed by some of their early stuff but to see the development they made through the years will make you appreciate them even more. 😀
I personally feel more 'confident" when the reactors start with the big ones but sometimes it's a good way to know the whole progress of an artist.Btw I'm a first time visitor to this channel and i'm kinda wondering why there's no reply or even a sign of response to none of our comments.No interaction at all?I was sent his reaction by another fan to watch this but i would be more pleased if there was some typical awareness and communication in order to even subscribe and support the guy.Dunno maybe its his policy.
@@alexioverdo5225 Most reactors do the big ones (and mostly the ones from Agnetha) at first so it would be a nice alternation when one reacts to their songs in chronological order so that we can see more reactions than only TWTIA, Chiquitita, Gimme x3, SOS, DQ, Mamma Mia, KMKY, MMM or TACOM. Even though I love ABBA it gets boring to see always reactions for the same few songs...
I'm sure it's been in multiple movies over the years (it's a very popular song) but if you've seen Mamma Mia, it's in that. As a matter of fact all the songs in Mamma Mia are Abba songs. They took something like 18 (?) of their songs and created a storyline for the musical based on the songs. I never watched the movie but I saw the musical a couple of times in the theater and it's a really fun show. And the soundtrack is of course great.
This is the biggest hit factory in history ABBA is my childhood
Man after midnight!
Annefried Lyngstad “brown haired girl” was the sexual awakening of every Swedish boy, me included. Best of Norway.
At leat here in Europe, Abba were the biggest band in mainstream pop music scene from around 1975 till about 1982 that they unofficially disbanded.2021 they briefly came back with great success giving new blood to entertainment with virtual show VOYAGE in Strafford not to mention their longlasting mark in pop culture in the '90s and ver after with the "Mamma Mia" musical and movies.
We are fortunate to have videos of early ABBA as music videos weren't made until the 80's. ABBA produced promotional videos in the 70's for many of their hits. They were not as popular here in the US as they were in Europe and the rest of the world. This is their only #1 hit in the US.
Yes indeed.Yet one year later on and after having a no1 with DQ there,they had a no3 in official Billboard US single's chart 1978 "Take a chance on me".Despite not hitting the no1 spot again this sold more copies than DQ and became their best selling US hit ever at the time.
@@alexioverdo5225 I still listen to ABBA today. They are one of my all-time favorite groups.
the boy groups and girl groups of the fifties usually had a dance routine, Diana Ross and the Supremes or The box Tops to name just two
Any Motown group from the 1960s and 70s dances. Also a groups like the Osmonds the Doo Wop groups from the 1950s.
Agnetha (the blonde) was married to Bjorn (guitar player), and Benny (piano player) was married to Anni-frid (the brunette).
52 years later, they're all still friends.
Great reaction to the best band ever. Your analysis was spot on. I have been a fan for over 49 years and my younger sister and I used to dance our own routine to this constantly but it is not my favourite anymore but such a classic.
why hide the video? all of the other reactors don't.
You should book ABBA Voyage in Stratford.. it’s amazing, looks like they’re on stage for real!!
I’d love to see other groups do the same in the future!
Google it yourself!
Oh my I got goosebumps listening to that song. I remember my Mom listening to these classics when I was little. Great memories. Thank you 🥰
I´m Swedish and I grew up with ABBA. My first music album ever I got for my 7th birthday, was with them. My sister and I used to sing and dance in the living room with the skipping ropes as microphones. I was always Agnetha as I´m blond and my sister Anni-Frid as she is a brunette. I learned a lot of English from their song texts :) My favourite song was "Thank you for the music" as the lyrics really spoke to me.
Having the realisation that this young man listening to ABBA would be like me listening to Very Lynn... I´m was born 1968... Growing old I guess...
There was an Australian movie in 1994 called "Muriel's Wedding." It included many ABBA songs became an international success and helped inspire the musical "Mama Mia."
Yes, the hairstyle. My mother had same kind of hair as the brown-haired lady ! Greetings from Finland.
OMG almost not a single bad song from their catalalog. I hope you do a lot of ABBA reactions. And also… your vibe and look is gorgeous! 🔥I’m falling a little bit 😉
My cousin (18) and I (36) once had a talk about music, and he said that music peaked in the 80s. It made me happy to know that younger people appreciates music from back then, cuz it truly is something special.
Greatest Group ever. Agnetha, Benny, Bjorn and Annifrid. Pure talent. Sweden's gift to the world. 1972 - 1982!
Bobby Pickett " The monster mash" 1962 live version please because it was a graveyard smash!
Abba gained widespread popularity with several hit songs, and as dance music started to rise, they decided to join the trend. Their first foray into the genre was "Dancing Queen," which is now regarded by many as the greatest dance song of all time. Later, after their breakup, they produced what is often considered the greatest breakup song ever.
You Just Can't Go Wrong When Listening To ABBA.
If you go down the Abba Rabbit 🐰🕳️ Hole then your in for a real treat.
Enjoy.
From an Original Fan of ABBA since they won the Eurovision Song Contest way back in 1974 and then I had the privilege to see them Live in London, November 6th 1979.
They only did two world tours, 1st in 1977 then again in 1979.
Tickets to their Concerts were like Gold Dust, the did 5 Consecutive Nights in London and all sold out (they were the first Band to do 5 Consecutive sell-out nights) the demand for Tickets was so high it's estimated that had the met demand for tickets then they would have been at Wembley for up to 6 Months
A, Agnetha (Blonde)
B, Bjorn (Guitar/song writer)
B, Benny (Keyboards, music writer)
A, Anni-Frid (Brunette, also known as Frida) my favourite 💥❤️
🇬🇧🤓
The movie MAMA MIA (2008) with Meryl Streep was based of their collection of songs and were a large part of the movie. Abba music was also a large part of the movie THE ADVENTURES OF PRISCILLA, QUEEN OF THE DESSERT (1994) about three drag queens traveling and performing from one end of Australia to the other in a big pink bus.
ABBA's music is so popular that there wss a Broadway musical, "MAMA MIA", written to incorporate all of their music. A movie was then made from the musical, " MAMA MIA" .with a second one, "MAMA MIA, HERE WE GO AGAIN", that included the songs not heard in the first one. The sequel included CHER singing one of ABBA's mostbiconicbsongs, " Fernando". The movies must be seen in order 1 then 2 in order to understand the story and the characters. Both are worth the watch.
