ABBA aimed high. It wanted to perfect pop music and ended up reinventing it while becoming one of the most influential, popular, and long-lasting bands of all time. The Swedish sensation made pop that brims with emotion, delivering nine No. 1 hits, including the immortal “Dancing Queen” and “Mamma Mia,” “SOS” and “Take a Chance on Me.” There’s been stage, screen and the soundtrack to so much life.
