ABBA were the Beatles of the 1970s.
And neither Pink Floyd nor Led Zeppelin can claim that title. ABBA was the closest that the decade ever got to Beatlemania. They were bigger than everything else—so big, that at one one time, they were Sweden’s biggest export. Yes, bigger than IKEA.
If the Beatles kickstarted the UK’s good reputation in pop music, ABBA did the same for Scandinavia.
