ABBA's Eurovision Success
ABBA remains Eurovision's greatest success story, having won the song contest in 1974. The band, composed of Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad, skyrocketed to global fame overnight. Selling 385 million records worldwide, they are second only to The Beatles in record sales.
Winning Tips from Björn
Björn Ulvaeus, a member of ABBA, shared two crucial rules for winning Eurovision. The first tip is to take a risk with the song choice. ABBA's decision to perform "Waterloo" in English, rather than their native language, set them apart from the competition. This bold move paid off, leading to their victory.
Making an Impression
Björn also highlighted the importance of bold and colorful outfits in making an impression at Eurovision. Despite facing challenges with their wardrobe, ABBA's unique style contributed to their success. The band was determined to stand out and leave a lasting impact on the audience.
Marital Challenges
Interestingly, both couples within ABBA split just a few years after their Eurovision win. Agnetha Fältskog and Björn Ulvaeus, as well as Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad, ended their marriages shortly after their triumph at Eurovision. Despite their personal challenges, their musical legacy endured.
ABBA's Legacy
While fans hoped for an ABBA reunion at this year's Eurovision in Sweden, the group has decided against performing together. Instead, efforts are being made to showcase their digital "ABBAtars" from the ABBA Voyage show. Technical issues may hinder this plan, leading to a potential medley performance by other pop stars.
