    I may die a very old man but I will never get tired of saying this: ABBA is the best sound that has ever echoed in the universe and I will be forever grateful I had the chance to live on this planet while they were around. Never had the chance to see them live in concert but owing all their albums makes me an extremely happy man. Saw the 'ABBA The exhibition' in London and visited the 'ABBA The Museum' in Stockholm. Two dreams that came true and brought me closer to them. I could even hear my heart shouting "Thank you for the music". Thank you for the music.

      They should be wanted! For several huge crimes-all by the blokes. For keeping things in the vault and denying them to fans on the flimsiest of reasons, for giving slagdonna the vile access to their songs so the bitch will NEVER fade away and even worse (only B&B could commit a WORSE crime than that!) for alluding to an UTTERLY FALSE REUNION resulting in new music, the biggest conspiracy of recent years, a huge lie we never should have believed, as it has surely no basis in reality. It can't, surely?

      @@MsElke11 he wasn't talking about his personal income from streaming. He was talking about artists in general not receiving fair dividends from the platforms - which is true. And unfortunately, most artists cannot speak out about this publicly, for instance, if Spotify sees an artist complaining about their methods, they will blacklist them, often refusing said artist to upload/submit further material. It's a very unfair system and wrong that e.g. Spotify can flex their corporate muscle in that way and treat artists so shabbily. Thanks are due to Björn for mentioning this.

      Really? Björn is, since long, an outspoken atheist and ultra neo liberal. He lives on the ABBA-money and made a scandal some years ago when he forced the little village/town he was born in to build an AN ENTIRE AIRPORT in order for him to be able to fly and not have to go by car when visiting and staying at one of his houses over there. He also, more or less stole, an entire very central and attractive and valuable island there for him to build himself a house on. If the village/town didn´t do this he threatened to move for good. It almost made the villagers completely broke and at the end, when half of the airport where constructed, they simply where out of money. Lesson to learn: There are no humble successfull powerful and/or wealthy people anywhere in the world. (Dont tell the Russians, they will never understand this, they will always believe that a totalitarian gangster and dictator is objective, humble and non selfish).

Quite simply put, they assailed my eardrums with the best music ever - thanks to the best band, voices - and musical genius - EVER. Good Lord, as an almost 54 years old, and I am so eternally grateful that I grew up when I did...

    It's been a hard and sad year for all. We lost family and friends from Covid. I just seen this. And it's happy news. Looking forward to hearing ABBA reunite. It will cheer alot of us who grew up with ABBA. Please keep us updated. Would love to hear it. Take care and stay safe. My favorite songs by ABBA is Eagle and Nina Pretty Ballerina. I play that for my grandaughter who's name is Nina. She's 6 years old and becoming a fan of your music.

    Back in 1975 in Finland, all my friends were Heavy Metal fans. I was The only ABBA-fan and because of it, I was being called a faggot...

    My all time top favorite ABBAsongs “ The Winner Takes It All” and Knowing Me, Knowing You”, but I absolutely love each and every song they ever did, how can you not? ABBAsongs make you feel so good, even the ones about heartbreak. The brilliant songwriting and arrangements of Benny and Bjorn combined with the mystical magical combination of Agnetha’s and Frida’s beautiful harmonies are out of this world, nothing else comes close , even the tribute bands and cover artists. Looking forward to the new ABBAsongs! 😃 And Bjorn, a great and excellent movie about ABBA will certainly be made one day, I would love to see it!
