Members of 'ABBA':
'ABBA' History:
The ABBA nameAround 1973 Stig, having tired of the unwieldy names, started to refer to the group privately and publicly as ABBA. This was done as a joke at first, since Abba was also the name of a well-known fish-canning company in Sweden. However, since the fish canners were more or less unknown outside Sweden, Stig came to believe the name would work in international markets and so it stuck. Later the group negotiated with the canners for the right to use the name. ABBA is an acronym formed from the first letters of each group member's name. It is usually written ABBA but is sometimes written as a word, Abba. The first B in the logo version of the name was reversed on the band's promotional material from 1976 onwards. source: wikipedia | |
Pop from SwedenFor a while Swedens biggest export was not cars or wood but Pop music. In the early 70's an until then virtually unknown band won the Eurovision Song Festival with the song 'Waterloo'. ABBA was a household word after that and the band sold millions of copies of their records world wide.
