ABBA (1970 - 1982) was a Swedish pop music group. They remain the most successful Swedish music act and were one of the most popular groups in the world.  ABBA was formed around 1970 with Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, Agnetha Fältskog, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad (nicknamed "Frida"). They became widely known after winning the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest with "Waterloo." The group consisted of two couples, Björn and Agnetha along with Benny and Frida. ABBA splitted up in 1982. 

ABBA is an acronym formed from the first letters of each group member's name. It is usually written ABBA but is sometimes written as a word, Abba. The first B in the logo version of the name was reversed on the band's promotional material from 1976 onwards.
