When you’ve sold as many records as Abba have – and only The Beatles have sold more – specific figures become hazy. They disappear into a statistical stratosphere occupied by a tiny elite of global megastars. There are simply too many territories to report on, too many releases to keep track of, too many vast numbers to juggle.
All one can say with any certainty is that the Swedish quartet have sold in excess of 380m albums and singles since they first came to prominence 40 years ago this month, winning the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest with a performance of Waterloo that still ranks as the high point of the much-maligned transcontinental cheese-fest. At their commercial zenith in the late ‘70s Abba were reputedly second only to Volvo in their contribution to Sweden’s exports.

Being able to not just tolerate but find enjoyment in the stuff the women my age loved was probably the best advice I ever got (besides protecting oneself appropriately).
Well if you liked the songs from MM then you like ABBA!
Nah. It was just a fun show.

How much could it have been if you disliked the music? It’s loaded with songs.
