@@harrydawson7529 Queen was never close to ABBA's sales, their sales increased considerably after Freddie's death but they still don't reach what Abba sold, there are many lies about who are the best-selling artists in history, people still don't know what thriller is not the best-selling album in history and is it actually Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel?
Oh my goodness, are you in for a ride if you are just now discovering ABBA, one of the most successful musical groups of all time. Their catalogue is mind blowing. You mentioned it sounded like something that was a sample, A LOT of artists have sampled ABBA songs into their own music. They are as good a group as you could hope for, HIGHLY encourage you to continue your ABBA journey. This music changed the world. Some of the best songwriters ever.
the song is about a young teenage girl at the age of 17 who only finds happiness and joy when she's dancing or listening to music. the song isn't a love song or about finding love, it focuses on the coming of age and how beautiful music is and how it's impact can really make someone jive and have the time of their life. hence the song title "dancing queen". it is such a beautiful song.
The song also refers to Queen Silvia of Sweden, who had a reputation of loving dancing before she got married. See my main comment for the first public performance of the song.
They're Sweden's Super Group, others have tried singing their songs, but nobody sings like them. They were made up of two couples, unfortunately, both of whom broke up. The band name ABBA is made up of the first letters of their names. They broke up in the early 80s, and their music received a lot of disrespect until the 90's. One of their kids even had his name changed. In the 90s, they shot back to fame, and their music is still going strong to this day. People didn't realise their musical genius until they tried singing and playing their music 🎶. The guys did the composing. It was before computers were used in recording. They'd have one group of musicians after another come in to record. After they regained their popularity, people started begging them to get back together. Because they'd once been two couples, it was a bit awkward. Until a few years back, it was always Agnetha (the blonde lady) who especially didn't want to. It was a difficult divorce. She's afraid of large audiences, flying, and she hated touring as well. Last year, they reased their first new album in decades. To make it easier for Agnetha, they performed a virtual concert in London.
and just to add that their comeback album just blasted to No1 in 19 countries while theirphenomenal virtual VOYAGE tour is now massive in London( had over 650,000 tickets sold until some weeks back and still keep going!)
You sold me on ABBA . ABBA was the very first super group . The only reason we never heard of them at the time is because we are not from Europe , and in America , we tend to think the World revolves around us , and it doesn't !
Abba is great. The vocals are rich and they have never used auto tune like bands today. Nobody will ever replace or replicate them. There song productions are one of a kind. Many have tried but failed.
We love ABBA. Its impossible to not love the production, the vocals, the songwriting, the music. Sweden has more than universal healthcare - they have ABBA!!!❤
Hi there! This swedish group began his work in 1972 and remained active until 1982. They met again a few years ago and released a new album (VOYAGE) in 2021. Actually they present a previously unreleased digital show at the ABBA Arena in London with great success. This particular song (Dancing Queen) is from 1976. Is one of the 9 songs that reached number one in the UK. They left many good pop songs and videos to react. ABBA never dissapoint... Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱
ABBA: ABBA is named by taking the first letter of all 4 members first names-- Agnetha Faltskog (the blonde) Bjorn Ulvaeus (guitar player, married to blonde), Benny Andersson (Piano), Annifrid Lyngstad (brunette married to piano player Benny). They came to notoriety after winning the 1974 Eurovision Contest. They enjoyed a string of hits from 1974-1982 before eventually disbanding and going their own ways. In the 90s, interest in the group started up after movies like Muriel's Wedding and Priscilla Queen of the Desert used their music in their soundtracks. Then came the musical Mamma Mia, and then the movie Mamma Mia and Mamma Mia Here We Go again, brought an even bigger revival. By the 2000 demand for them to regroup was high, but they refused, saying that there was no reason to do so. They even turned down an offer, estimated at a billion dollars, for a number of shows. THen they surprised their fans in 2017, announcing new show using digital avatars and two new songs were in the works. BY 2021, they announced not only had they recorded the two new songs, but they had completed a new album, along with news of the show and the special stadium being built in London. The album was release and the show premiered, and it's been a hit. Their latest album has had 5 Grammy nominations, one last year for I Still Have Faith In You, and 4 this year for the album, and the song Don't Shut Me Down. Notable songs to check out: Take A Chance On Me, Gimme Gimme Gimme, The Winner Takes It All, Knowing Me Knowing You, Happy New Year, The Visitors, Don't Shut Me Down, Fernando.
Never having heard of ABBA is like never having heard of the Beatles, or the Rolling Stones, or Michael Jackson, or Elvis Presley. I can't wrap my head around that. So foreign to me.
A great introduction to ABBA, being one of their greatest of many, many, many super hits, as well as one of the most iconic, recognizable songs of all time. I was an adolescent when they came on the scene. Their music is part of my heart and soul.
👍 Yes Man - they have Vocals 👍🤣 This Music give us back the Feelin from the Time we were young in the 70s and 80s 🙂 Greetings from Nuremberg - Germany 🙂
They are actually not that happy with being sampled. There are only 2 samples with their blessings. Hung Up by Madonna for Gimme Gimme Gimme and Rumble in the Jungle for The Name of the Game. They are probably one of the most covered bands out there though.
It's amazing to see younger people first reaction when listening to 80's music ❤️😍😍😍🎶🎶🎶 Music was so well done, meaningful, rich when it comes to instruments and vocals, it just lifts your spirits! That's why a lot of people say there's nothing like the 80's... 🏆
They sold 470 million records, actual records, not streminings on spotify. No other band will ever get close to it, theyu are and will be the most sucessful band on the Planet in history.They also could sing, no Autotune in these days.
This is one of the greatest iconic bands ever. Their genre is pop, and nobody did it better. The two women Agnetha ( blonde) and Anni- Frid ( redhead) had voices that harmonized together beautifully. Benny Anderson , a genius, wrote all of their voluminous music collection, and played the keyboards. Bjorn Ulvaeus the guitar player wrote the lyrics. To my recollection they never covered anyone else’s songs. They wrote all their songs from scratch. What a beautiful collection of music it is. You could do ABBA reactions for over a year or so and never have to do anything else. Anyways thanks for your post and reaction.
So…I’m an Abba non-fan, always have been. But back in the day, this song came out and I adored it; still do. But I’ve got nothing for any of their other releases. BUT - they were one of the top selling and most loved bands from back then, so I do give them props.
Hopefully you could take another chance on them (no pun intended lol), bc they’re so much more than Dancing Queen. Iconic song for sure, but they have such a huge variety of brilliant songs like Knowing Me, Knowing You; Chiquitita; Fernando; SOS; The Name of The Game; just to name few...
@@wildcard04 For me personally ABBA's most brilliant songs are their deep cuts. Stuff like The Visitors, I Let The Music Speak, I Wonder, Me & I, The Day Before You Came, Crazy World etc.
@@Taevas___ true. Their lesser known songs are great. Some of my favourites are Move On, Eagle, If It Wasn’t For The Nights, I Let The Music Speak; Kisses of Fire and a whole lot more...
Two couples form the group. Other band members are hired. Melodies composed by the two men, lyrics by one of the men, the ladies blow you away with their vocal talent! And they're still making music in their seventies.
I love listening to you young reactors because you're so interested in the details of the music. I have their greatest hits, and never paid much attention to the lyrics because i just dance to the melody. You all teach me things even at my ripe old age. ABBA had a very unique sound and they never had a bad song. The two gals married the two guys but alas, they all divorced.
Thank you so much for reacting to this. Though this song and style of music isn’t my taste, it does bring back wonderful memories of this time period of my life. ABBA was absolutely huge at this time. They are #8 in all-time record sales, selling 247 million albums. I am the same age of some of the kids on the dance floor in the video from 1977 (12-13-ish). I remember it well. My girlfriend, friends, and I, at the time, loved attending concerts after I got to high school. It was one of the things we loved doing together. My wife loved concerts as well during that time. There were a huge number of wonderful groups at the time and concerts were not very expensive to attend. Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Boston, Journey, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Triumph, 38 Special, Foreigner, and many others. I can not describe to you what a wonderful time it was to be young then. We were happier, relationships were closer, life was more carefree, people got along better, and the music was spectacular. My heart just aches that young people will not get to experience life as we did as teenagers in the 70’s/80’s. Our 4 adult children (29-33) are big fans of 70’s-80’s music like my wife and I are. It’s great, lol. Again, thank you so much for posting this video. It was a wonderful treat.
I can remember going to see my Dad when he had to stay on his ship for duty, he was in the Navy. They always played This Is ABBA. Which was a movie they made. I became a HUGE fan and believe it or not, both of my boys know a good many of the songs and my youngest son loves the Mama Mia movies. Muriel's Wedding is another movie that revolves around ABBA.
ABBA is the initial letters of the members. Agneta, Björn, Benny, Annifrid.. A Swedish group that were huge all over the world between isecond half of 1970's and first half of the 1980s. There music is still going strong and new generations discover them and love them. I have actually been to one of their concerts around 1977 and stood close to the stage.
They are the pop vocal group GOATS! 28 top 40 hits, 9 #1's, and 500,000,000 worldwide record sales. Simply unmatched. Enjoy their catalog! Their shit holds up!
ABBA WAS THE PERFECT GROUP...til they fell apart from personal issues. Sad, but music, and videos live on thru people like you, listening, reacting to group!
_"Who would have known a girl singing group had such good singing voices?"_ Sorry, the *_what_* now?! The 1950s called; they'd like their attitude back.
You are spot on- I was a youngster and early teen in the 70’s This was a massive roller rink song- Especially a “Girls Skate” where only girls were allowed on the rink The guys just got to watch- (There we’re also “Boys Skate” - the All Skate” you get it) It was a special time “Chiquitita” Will blow you mind- But make certain to also listen to it as they perform it in SPANISH! It’s even more beautiful- Promise
Incredible band. Hard to beat. The production, the voices, the composition. No wonder they've sold milions of records. This is no ordinary group. They are godsend
There's a musical movie that has they're music in it including the Title Mama Mia staring Meryl Streep. I'm not a big Musical fan, but I do like that 1.
Hard Rock/Metal diehard fan here and I'm ngl-back in the day I would secretly listen to ABBA...A LOT lol. Their vocals are angelic melodic harmonious and a gift!!
Have ppl been living under a rock that they've never heard of ABBA? Angetha is the most beautiful female artist of all time! 8th wonder of the world . . .
These guys won Eurovision song contest in 1973. Pure talent. Listen to Waterloo, their song and first international hit and you'll see what I mean. They were like nothing ever heard before and still haven't been bettered!
I can't believe there are people who haven't heard of ABBA, we're from SEA and we're aware of em. That's like an equivalent of the sky isn't blue. Am I old? Cause no way.
You mentioned the melody - Benny Andersson, the guy at the piano, wrote the melodies. It seemed like he had the power to grab them out of the air. Timeless and unforgettable music. Then they added Bjorn Ulvaeus's clever lyrics (the guy on the guitar). The two girls delivered beautiful vocals (the blonde is Agnetha Faltskog and the brunette is Frida Lyngstad). And all four of them had an unrelenting drive toward perfectionism in the studio. Altogether, this band was something VERY special.
F-ABBA!The legendary Swedish phenomenon we grew up with.You'll enjoy if you try 'Take a chance on me' next one....if you also wanna taste both girls flirting with you on camera.
I grew up in the 90s and I’ve always heard Dancing Queen everywhere and my parents never played one Abba song. I’m so surprised several UA-camrs haven’t heard such a classic before!! It’s just one of those songs that always comes on and you don’t know who they are lol.
Welcome to another rabbit hole,you see ABBA ,each letter is their first name . They from Sweden, they came out a movie called ABBA the movie,it about go to Australia in concert, and reported meet them and interview them.
I'm definitely diggin that scene! It's pure joy! I tear up and get goosebumps everytime I hear it! I'm like you bro I can hear every little detail from the music to the words. The part that you say about finding another It's in context to the fact that she is turning on all the guys and she's just free and innocent having the time of her life JUST INTO THE "MUSIC" It's interpretational and evolving but clearly it's the MUSIC here that steals the show!🎶🎵💖💢💯
Both Bjorn (Björn) and Benny have been part of writing lyrics to the musicals Chess, Kristina från Duvemåla and Mamma Mia. Chess was in collaboration with Tim Rice some of the most known songs are Anthem, One Night in Bangkok,I know him so well, Nobody’s side. The swedish singer Tommy Körberg was the first to sing Anthem, he isn’t a trained singer. Songs that he has sung fattig bonddräng (poor farm worker) from Emil i Lönneberga, O helga natt (o holy night), Beauty and the Beast with Celine Dion if you watch this it’s an surprise reaction from her, the background is he didn’t sing that well in the sound check, Guldet blev till sand (the gold turned to sand) from Kristina from Duvemåla. Another song from Kristina from Duvemåla are Du måste finnas (you have to be there) by Helen Sjöholm. Both Bjorn(Björn) and Benny are in the Mamma Mia movies as cameos.
Congratulations. You just listened to the greatest pop song ever written.
Agreed!!!
No one can touch Abba..do yourself a favor..go down the rabbit hole and just succumb

ABBA the first act to have an album reach 1000 weeks in the UK top 100 albums (ABBA Gold - released in 1992), and it is still in the charts.
I believe that its about 1100 weeks now
Frida, the dark one, is a mezzo-soprano and Anna, the blonde, is a soprano. A perfect combination for harmonies. That's why they sound so good.
Agnetha!
We love ABBA. Its impossible to not love the production, the vocals, the songwriting, the music. Sweden has more than universal healthcare - they have ABBA!!!❤

You are spot on-
I was a youngster and early teen in the 70’s
This was a massive roller rink song-
Especially a “Girls Skate” where only girls were allowed on the rink
The guys just got to watch-
(There we’re also “Boys Skate” - the All Skate” you get it)
It was a special time
“Chiquitita”
Will blow you mind-
But make certain to also listen to it as they perform it in SPANISH!
It’s even more beautiful-
Promise
How could you not ever heard this song? Not possible.
Masterpiece of music
Incredible band. Hard to beat. The production, the voices, the composition. No wonder they've sold milions of records. This is no ordinary group. They are godsend
There's a musical movie that has they're music in it including the Title Mama Mia staring Meryl Streep. I'm not a big Musical fan, but I do like that 1.
ABBA 1976 forever ❤
Hard Rock/Metal diehard fan here and I'm ngl-back in the day I would secretly listen to ABBA...A LOT lol. Their vocals are angelic melodic harmonious and a gift!!
Have ppl been living under a rock that they've never heard of ABBA? Angetha is the most beautiful female artist of all time! 8th wonder of the world . . .
These guys won Eurovision song contest in 1973. Pure talent. Listen to Waterloo, their song and first international hit and you'll see what I mean. They were like nothing ever heard before and still haven't been bettered!
Actually they won in 1974. In 1973 they placed third in the Swedish heats with Ring Ring.
“You cant look for another” BRO I FELT THAT 💀🤣
most successful group worldwide since 1974
amazing group from Sweden , huge in the 70`s, the name abba come from the first letter in every members name :)
I can't believe there are people who haven't heard of ABBA, we're from SEA and we're aware of em. That's like an equivalent of the sky isn't blue.
Am I old? Cause no way.
They're a pretty cool band, if you react to another ..try "Knowing Me, Knowing You" by ABBA
This "new group" is pretty dope, not gonna lie. They should be famous by now.
You mentioned the melody - Benny Andersson, the guy at the piano, wrote the melodies. It seemed like he had the power to grab them out of the air. Timeless and unforgettable music. Then they added Bjorn Ulvaeus's clever lyrics (the guy on the guitar). The two girls delivered beautiful vocals (the blonde is Agnetha Faltskog and the brunette is Frida Lyngstad). And all four of them had an unrelenting drive toward perfectionism in the studio. Altogether, this band was something VERY special.
Stop interrupting and just let it play.
Damn. please don't interrupt EVERY three-five seconds.....GAWD....
Most young people don't know ABBA I guess. Love that more are getting to listen to this Swedish iconic group.
But why fake thumbnail?
You’d never heard of ABBA before you made this video????!!!! Are you kidding me??!!
i dunno why this is!!!? whatta bubble black america is, or just america in general.
every fucker should know abba
F-ABBA!The legendary Swedish phenomenon we grew up with.You'll enjoy if you try 'Take a chance on me'

It would be a vibe....if you didn't keep pausing all the friggin time!!!
Many top worldwide hits by this Swedish Fab Four for you to check out.....next react to their song "Take A Chance On Me"
Have you heard The Winner Takes it All??? the lyrics are cra cra...Vocals are da bomb
New group😂
I can't!
I grew up in the 90s and I’ve always heard Dancing Queen everywhere and my parents never played one Abba song. I’m so surprised several UA-camrs haven’t heard such a classic before!! It’s just one of those songs that always comes on and you don’t know who they are lol.
I remember hearing Dancing Queen for the first time on the radio as a kid, gave me goosebumps and I still love it ❤️🤩
Even i have not born yet but this song make me feel i was there and sing along with my crush...
This is what you get for not listening to the radio growing up - despite having a bloody good aerial on the top of your head...lol
Welcome to another rabbit hole,you see ABBA ,each letter is their first name . They from Sweden, they came out a movie called ABBA the movie,it about go to Australia in concert, and reported meet them and interview them.
ABBA-music is genius, so beautiful.❤ Thanks, from Finland 🇫🇮
This was the first singles record I ever bought as a 12 year old. Great memory.
I'm definitely diggin that scene! It's pure joy! I tear up and get goosebumps everytime I hear it! I'm like you bro I can hear every little detail from the music to the words. The part that you say about finding another It's in context to the fact that she is turning on all the guys and she's just free and innocent having the time of her life JUST INTO THE "MUSIC" It's interpretational and evolving but clearly it's the MUSIC here that steals the show!🎶🎵💖💢💯
skated to this song many times in my teen years , we were so lucky to have such great music .
So good to see the young gen appreciate the classics! 50+ years and still relevant!
Your reaction was so fun. You just cracked me up. Keep on dancing. Lol
Bro you hit it square on! We used to go roller skating in the 80’s and when this song came on, everyone was on their feet and skating, ha!
how can you have not heard of ABBA before? Seriously you have heard them if you have been alive and mobile in the past 50 years.
Both Bjorn (Björn) and Benny have been part of writing lyrics to the musicals Chess, Kristina från Duvemåla and Mamma Mia. Chess was in collaboration with Tim Rice some of the most known songs are Anthem, One Night in Bangkok,I know him so well, Nobody’s side. The swedish singer Tommy Körberg was the first to sing Anthem, he isn’t a trained singer. Songs that he has sung fattig bonddräng (poor farm worker) from Emil i Lönneberga, O helga natt (o holy night), Beauty and the Beast with Celine Dion if you watch this it’s an surprise reaction from her, the background is he didn’t sing that well in the sound check, Guldet blev till sand (the gold turned to sand) from Kristina from Duvemåla. Another song from Kristina from Duvemåla are Du måste finnas (you have to be there) by Helen Sjöholm.
Both Bjorn(Björn) and Benny are in the Mamma Mia movies as cameos.
Welcome to authentic music!
Keep smiling. Smile makes anyone beautiful. Even me. 👍 ABBA was feel good music. Still is.
