Abba Facts


  1. Their movie was the first ever reality TV
  2. ABBA’s career started when they won the Eurovision song contest in 1974 with Waterloo
  3. ABBA couldn’t tour overseas until Agnetha overcame her fear of flying!
  4. Bjorn and Benny collaborated with Tim Rice on the musical Chess.
  5. Australia was the first nation to release Mamma Mia as a single in August 1975.
  6. Playboy Records – subsidiary of the mag – released the quartet’s first singles in 72/73
  7. For many years, ABBA was the only music act to ever lip-sync on Saturday Night Live.
  8. Both Benny and Bjorn met their future wives, Frida and Agnetha, when invited to sing as solo artist on a tv show. Spooky.
  9. "Fernando" was originally not an ABBA song.
  10. Fernando was the biggest selling single in Australian chart history until it wasovertaken by Elton John's "Candle In The Wind '97."

ABBA ON MAX

Every Saturday in February from 1.30pm, MAX is playing ABBA.

To remember the thirty year anniversary since ABBA’s arrival in Australia, we’re dedicating hours to this untouchable musical phenomenon… because nothing new will ever replace what was found whenever Agnetha, Bjorn, Frida and Benny came together.
