DANCING QUEEN

Abba

(1976) #1

ABBA had already proven themselves to be masters of pop by the time this single was unleashed. But "Dancing Queen" was different. Even critics had to admit it was catchy. Closer examination revealed a challenging vocal range executed by Agnetha Faltskog and Frida Lyngstad. Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson's production was as complex as it was alluring. Although the Swedish pop titans had enjoyed #1 success all over the planet, this was the one that took them to the top of that elusive US chart. The single also reached #1 in Britain, Europe, Canada, Australia, Mexico, New Zealand, Rhodesia, the Soviet Union and South Africa.

All of the songs from this playlist can be heard on Spotify.
