ABBA IN THE ROCK 'N' ROLL HALL OF FAME Jim Colyer

No, ABBA is not in the Hall yet. They have been eligible since 1999. ABBA from Sweden was the first group not from the U.S. or Britain to chart pop/rock records consistently over a period of several years. ABBA had 9 number one singles in Britain and sold probably 300 million records. Everyone knows the disco hits like Dancing Queen & Take A Chance On Me, but ABBA's catalog is filled with songs which explore every conceivable style of music. Beyond the group, Agnetha Faltskog, Frida Lyngstad, Benny Andersson & Bjorn Ulvaeus have had successful solo careers. ABBA will make the Hall of Fame. It is just taking time.
