Swedish hit machine released one of their greatest pop gems with DANCING QUEEN,
on 16 August 1976, today 50 years ago. The song went to #1 in 13 countries.

Anni-Frid Lyngstad (brunette singer) who apparently started crying when she heard the song for the first time: “I found the song so beautiful. It’s one of those songs that goes straight to your heart”.

Agnetha Fältskog (blonde singer) later said: “It’s often difficult to know what will
be a hit. The exception was ‘Dancing Queen.’ We all knew it was going to be massive.”

Yes, cheesy, but also pop-tastic.

Great singles from the past

9 April 2022

Unexpectedly, Swedish non-stop hits machine ABBA returned
last year with Voyage, their first album in 40 years. A commercial
success, of course

But the quartet – Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson,
and Anni-Frid Lyngstad – enjoyed their golden years, back in the 70s
with a striking series of 24 Carat gold classics.

One of them was DANCING QUEEN. A pop diamond that topped
the US Singles Chart 45 years ago today, on 9 April 1977. It was also
a #1 in 12 other countries.

Yes, it’s cheesy, but pop-tastic too…
