The had many singles in the top 30 which would add up to months, time-wise.
1974.
kylie minogue had 37 hit singles in the UK!
Dancing Queen in 1976.
I think it was Ring Ring in 1972.
Nine ABBA singles peaked at number one in the UK: Waterloo (1974) Mamma Mia (1975) Fernando (1975) Dancing Queen (1976) Knowing Me, Knowing You (1977) The Name of the Game (1977) Take a Chance on Me (1978) The Winner Takes it All (1980) Super Trouper (1980) There are those who argue that there was a tenth. "One of Us" reached #2 in 1981 but there was no chart published the following week due to a Christmas break. It did hit #1 on some regional charts though.
If you're thinking of Abba, as a single it reached No 2 in South Africa and No 33 in UK. But as a track on ABBAs Greatest Hits and ABBA The Movie it hit No 1 all over the world.
In 1980, ABBA's 'The Winner Takes it All' was #1 in the UK, Ireland and the Netherlands. Later, 'Super Trouper' was #1 in the above, plus Germany.
Depends what you consider to be a hit. ABBA's first chart single in the UK was Waterloo, which peaked at #1 in 1974. Their next release was "Ring Ring", which was actually a remix of a 1973 single. The 1974 version reached #32 in the UK. Their next single, "So Long" only reached #91. But in 1975, "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do" cracked the top 40, peaking at #38. Their next top 10 was "S.O.S.", which reached #6. ABBA's next single was their second #1 hit in the UK, "Mamma Mia".
Fernando, 1976. This was for the UK charts. US and Australian charts may have shown something different.
Take a Chance on Me is obviously their best known worldwide smash from the late 70's
The song, 'Waterloo' by ABBA, representing Sweden, won Eurovision in 1974. The contest was held in Brighton, UK, that year although the UK awarded no points to ABBA's entry!Waterloo - ABBAsweden
