50 years since ABBA Eurovision win
April 6, 2024 marks 50 years since Swedish pop group ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest held in Brighton, England, with a performance of the song “Waterloo.”
The band became hugely successful after their victory, embarking on worldwide tours. In the decades that followed, the band's enduring popularity produced multiple films including, "ABBA: The Movie" (1977), "Mamma Mia!" (2008), and "Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again" (2018), a hit musical of the same name, and most recently, "ABBA Voyage", a virtual version of the band.
