The legendary Swedish pop group ABBA is mulling a possible reunion next year, singer Agnetha Faltskog said in a German newspaper interview Sunday.
Next year marks the 40th anniversary of the band's first hit "Waterloo", which won them the Eurovision song contest and catapulted them to fame.
ABBA subsequently became one of the world's best-selling pop bands with a string of number one hits such as "Mamma Mia", "Dancing Queen" and "Super Trouper

He also once ate a rat just to prove to himself he could do it.
He has endurance survival skills.
I forgot about "Girl/Tattoo".
Well, "Anno 1790" wasn't all that innocent. Then again, "Annika Bengtzon" is quite fanciful to portray a reporter, let alone a dino print reporter, out after the "truth".
"Irene Huss" is probably closer to reality, as is [the UK's] "Wallander".
Then there's "Beck".
The most common element that comes across about Sweden is that it's a fairly dreary place, weather-wise. When they have a nice day, is it akin to "the fish are biting" and everybody takes off work, so no cameramen are around to film gorgeous days?
Well, that, and the abuse of Latvians and Finns...
I thought they already had their Waterloo...
Nooooooooooo!
OMG it really is the apocalypse!!
I like ABBA too!
IIRC at their peak they were the top revenue producers for all of Sweden.
Not even Little Bo Peep was that innocent.

Their still alive??
I loved ABBA so much that when I married a Swedish guy, my friends all thought it was because I was a super fan, lol. I was living there when Agnetha broke her super long (twenty years, maybe?) silence and had a filmed interview. At the time she said something like, “I’d rather live in a cardboard box than help those men earn any more money,” which I thought was rather bold. All in all, both ladies look very good, I think. And Swedish weather is very bleak and gloomy. We didn’t have even a half day of sunshine my first eighty-nine days living there. It was awful enough to keep count. :)
This is very fun! The blonde refused to be in the studio the same day as the others, then, too.

I've heard that the album "Avalon" by Roxy Music has the same effect.
Please, don’t tell me they sing “Lotteroo”.
‘Shoot me now.’
I think that’s covered under OCare.
Does reunion mean they would record again? They were a studio band who were terrible live.
Didn’t those two write the music for “Chess” — at least some of it? It’s really very good. I like ABBA. I like Chess.
