THE 200 GREATEST SONGS
In 1980, TV audiences tuned in for the answer to the
question who shot J.R. on “Dallas”; Moscow hosted the Summer Olympic Games
which were boycotted by many nations; war broke out between Iran and Iraq;
Ronald Reagan was elected President of the United States and the world mourned
after John Lennon was assassinated outside his Dakota apartment in New York
City.

THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL
Abba

ABBA's 2 couples were splintering. Bjorn Ulvaeus
and Agnetha Faltskog’s marriage was over. Frida Lyngstad and Benny Andersson’s
relationship would soon end too. The group itself would cease to exist in 2
years, without an official declaration. Faltskog’s vocal performance on this ballad is one
of the most heartfelt and dramatic ever executed. Even detractors of the
group’s upbeat Euro-pop sound could not deny this song’s quality. The
single topped the UK chart and reached #8 in the U.S.A. It was also a major
hit in Australia, Europe, Canada and South Africa.
