It could be heavy rock for all the reader knows. Reason: There is no reference to what "the genre" is. Problem sentence: "ABBA were renowned for their colorful costumes (the epitome of 1970s fashion), and also for the videos which accompanied some of their biggest hits-these being among the earliest examples of the genre." Tip: Some people find it helpful if these suggestions are shown on this talk page, rather than on another page.
Īn automated Wikipedia link suggester has some possible wiki link suggestions for the ABBA article, and they have been placed on this page for your convenience. the Beatles were more Swedish than ABBA but not a lot of people know that. I didn't realize the Beatle's were one of the most successful Swedish pop groups ever. :) DanKeshet 17:47 (UTC)

Is it true that they were the biggest revenue generator for Sweden for 'x' number of years? Has anyone else heard this?īeatles Swedish? ABBA are a Swedish pop group, together with The Beatles one of the most successful ever. It is unlikely that another 40 million has been sold in the past two years, so 365 million is a more reasonable figure to date. This figure has been recognised by the recording industry, so cannot be disputed. so I definitely need to see some statistical proof of these 400 million (!!!) sales figures.ĪBBA were presented with the award for 360 million known album sales from Univeral Records and Polar Music in April 2004 (not 1999, as previously commented). and they are all roughly bouncing around 170-200 million (INCLUDING singles and everything else). , - Lukobe 04:56, 7 June 2006 (UTC) ĪBBA is nowhere near as commercially successful as people like Madonna, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, etc. y'all are completely insane if you believe that!īeatles figure is correct. and The Beatles have sold nowhere NEAR 1.2billion. There is not a chance on Earth that ABBA has sold that many albums. So the estimate given in the article is correct and by now probably close to 400 million In 1999 with the opening of the musical Mamma Mia Abba received an award/certification for having sold Well done.ģ70 million albums? can anyone verify this? i thought the beatles "only" sold about 80 million I think the new version reads much better. Thanks for your responses, Scholar91 and Taco.

Taco 05:20, 26 August 2006 (UTC)I'll try to add something to that affect to the ease feel free to revise. As if the terrible weather and the wobbling plane was not enough, it was pitch dark" "Agnetha was hysterical, and I don't blame her. Next day she was forced to travel to Washington, DC, but having arrived there she locked herself in the hotel room and refused to talk to anyone, except the physician who issued the band a waiver allowing them to cancel the show in Washington, DC, without legal repercussions from the promoters.Īgnetha:"Everything was just black and the plane was shaking horribly.
Eventually, it did land and Agnetha went through the concert in Boston that was delayed for almost two hours. I would prefer more explanation, especially since it indicates a reason why the band never toured again despite their global popularity over the next three years.Īccording to Agnetha's own book and recollections of 1979 tour road manager, late Bosse Norling, quoted in Abba biography "Bright Lights Dark Shadows", Agnetha suffered extreme emotional distress during the flight from NY to Boston when the private plane she was on couldn't land because of the extremely bad weather ( Windsor Locks, Connecticut Tornado)Īnd was subjected to violent turbulence and lack of fuel. Was this an incident that occurred aboard the aircraft or after? The sentence is too vague in its present form, and should either be taken out or explained in greater detail. 8 Are we really going to have an article for every song?įrom the text: "The last scheduled ABBA concert on the US soil, in Washington, DC, was cancelled due to Agnetha's breakdown after the plane incident."Ĭan this be explained better? There is no previous or subsequent mention of this in the otherwise fine article, except a note near the end that Agnetha suffered from fear of air travel.6 removed picture w/'dubious copyright status'.
