ABBA was a Swedish pop supergroup formed in Stockholm in 1972 by Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad. The group's name is an acronym of the first letters of their first names. They are one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with estimated sales of 150 million records worldwide.
ABBA achieved international fame after winning the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest with their song "Waterloo." Their music is characterized by catchy melodies, close harmonies, and thoughtful lyrics, often exploring themes of love, loss, and relationships.
