abba (2442 words)
ABBA (although an abbreviation, the name is more often written as Abba) was a Swedish pop music group, the most successful one from their native country and second only to The Beatles in total worldwide sales.
Despite a feeling that Abba were in decline, the band were still achieving huge audiences into the early 1980s, and might have continued indefinitely if it wasn't for the fact that on a personal level, the married members of the group were falling apart.
Abba were well known for their colourful 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.
