It can be difficult to comprehend the enormity of ABBA's impact on society if you were born in the 1980s. In 1974, ABBA was catapulted to the top of the charts following receiving the highly acclaimed Eurovision song award. The Eurovision song prize launched an incredible run of popularity, which included eight hit records as well as a variety of songs like "Dancing Queen", "Fernando" or "Money Money Money". The group also composed the score for the Broadway musical "Mamma Mia" which has been bringing in theaters across the globe like crazy since the late 90s.During their time, ABBA has sold over 400 million records worldwide. Believe it or not, that makes them the second most popular musical group ever just behind The Beatles. When you take in the solo performers, ABBA is the fourth most popular musical group in the world, just behind #3 Michael Jackson (450 million albums sold) and #2 Elvis (550 million) and the #1 (again) The Beatles (600 million). Each member of ABBA is value of between $200 million and $300 million. ABBA unlike other major groups of the past have never staged an annual reunion tour.
