So far as most people are concerned, ABBA burst on the music scene in 1974,
when they swept to victory in the Eurovision Song Contest with Waterloo.

It is true, prior to Eurovision, the Scandinavian quartet were largely unknown internationally - in fact,
they hadn't officially used the name 'ABBA' before. But it is equally true Björn, Benny, Agnetha & Frida
were not an overnight sensation. All four members had tasted success - as a
group and separately - before they started recording together as ABBA.

Numerous books have been written over the years, telling the ABBA story - but this book is different.
This book focuses on the songs - the 'gold hits' as we have called them, and details
Björn, Benny, Agnetha & Frida's chart successes on six continents, in no less that 22 countries.

REVIEWS

'...they've taken each ABBA hit (and ABBA-related hit) in turn and compiled all the relevant worldwide chart positions,
release dates and production credits in one handy reference guide... each entry also has a trivia section...
A thorough research job covering not only the post-Eurovision years but, interestingly, the long careers of Benny, Björn,
Agnetha and Frida before the ABBA machine conquered the 70s.' Record Collector magazine

'...I found it full of so much information that, basically, I couldn't put it down...
For anyone who enjoys chart lists and books like Guinness Book of Hit Singles, then here's one all on Abba -
it's pretty impressive too... This book proves that Abba were truly wonderful.' Fraser/amazon.co.uk
