ABBA(stylised) were a _______________popgroup formed inStockholmin 1972. With membersAgnetha Fltskog,Bjrn Ulvaeus,Benny Andersson, andAnni-Frid Lyngstad, ABBA became one of themost commercially successful actsin the history of popular music, topping the charts worldwide from 1975 to 1982. They won theEurovision Song Contest 1974at the Dome in Brighton, UK, givingSwedenits first triumph in the contest, and were the most successful group ever to take part in the competition.During the band's active years, Fltskog & Ulvaeus and Lyngstad & Andersson were married. At the height of their popularity, both relationships were suffering strain which ultimately resulted in the collapse of the UlvaeusFltskog marriage in 1979 and the AnderssonLyngstad marriage in 1981. These relationship changes were reflected in the group's music, with later compositions including more introspective, brooding, dark lyrics.
