The 1974 Eurovision victory turned ABBA into a pop juggernaut, by far the most successful band to win the pan-continental music contest. ABBA's melodic disco pop sold hundreds of millions of records worldwide. The stage musical "Mamma Mia!" based on its songs is 25 years old and spawned two movies.
