Ever since I saw them perform Waterloo on Eurovision I was hooked. ABBA has been the musical backdrop to my life. I saw them live in Manchester in 1977 and it was one of the best concerts ever. I’ve got too many favourites to pick just one, so I can’t wait to find out what the British public vote as their ultimate ABBA song.
Following previous Eras series’ on Kylie and The Beatles, Eras: ABBA tells the definitive story of the group in four, era-defining chapters Jeff Smith, Head of Music for Radio 2 and 6 Music, says: “Radio 2’s listeners have huge love for ABBA due to their timeless melodic music so, alongside the fantastic new Eras: ABBA series and Sophie Ellis-Bextor sharing her adoration of the group, we’re inviting them to celebrate the Swedish foursome by voting for their favourite tracks to mark this momentous anniversary.” which tells the definitive story of ABBA in four era-defining chapters.
Episode two, Eras: ABBA - The Arrival, follows the band as they find their feet after Eurovision, when they were almost written off as one-hit wonders. Sara takes a look at how the group pulled themselves back from the brink of obscurity and went on to become global megastars, releasing an ever-growing catalogue of hits and finding legions of new fans a very long way from Sweden.
The 1992 hits compilation, ABBA Gold, opened up their back catalogue of hits to a teenage Sophie and from there on she was a fully-fledged fan, enjoying the ABBA journey through Mamma Mia! the stage musical, the movies which followed and their eventual incredible avatar reunion.
