What are the 3 achievements of ABBA?

Answer 1

The Swedish band ABBA had several significant achievements:

• They were the first act from outside the English-speaking countries to achieve global Pop Music stardom;
• They are the second-best selling band in history (after only The Beatles) (with over 375,000,000 records sold, according to Universal Music);
• They were the first act to use produced song-length video to open up new markets around the world;
• They are the only act to have number 1 hits in three different languages (English, Swedish and Spanish);
• The recording studio they built in Stockholm (Polar Studios) was a pioneer in digital recording and produced many of the top acts of the 80s and 90s (inlcuding Led Zeppelin, Genesis, the Ramones, and many others);
• ABBA's 1981 album "The Visitors" was the first major all-digital album;
• "The Visitors" was also the first major album to be released on CD; and
• The musical "Mamma Mia!", produced by Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson and featuring ABBA's music, is the most successful stage play and film to be based on a pop music act. (In fact it's now among the ten longest running stage plays in Broadway history.)

Answer 2

There are several significant achievements:

(1) ABBA was the first European group -- in fact the first act from anywhere outside the US or UK -- to achieve lasting international stardom. (1972: first international hit)

(2) It was the first act to effectively use music video to achieve success in countries far from their home base (1975).

(3) They were the first European act inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (2010).

(4) Their greatest hits album "Gold" (1992) has been called (by rock critic Elisabeth Vincentelli) perhaps the most important compilation album ever. It launched one of the biggest revivals of a music act.

(5) They have now sold (officially, according to Universal Music) more than 375,000,000 records, second only to the Beatles among bands. (As of 2010)

(6) They sell about 5,000,000 records a year, almost 30 years after they broke up.

(7) The musical Mamma Mia, based on their music, is one of the most successful stage plays in history and the movie version is the top-grossing movie musical ever. (In 2011 it became the tenth longest-running play in Broadway history.)
