I don't think I have a top ten but I'll try (not so much a big fan lol):

  • Money Money Money
  • Waterloo
  • Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight) (IMHO their most disco-ed ass song to date lmao)
  • Dancing Queen
  • SOS
  • Fernando
  • Mamma Mia
  • Take a Chance on Me

That's it, I only have eight. lol

I don't really know, but I'm totally into them recently. Plus I'm very much in love with Agnetha and will marry her. nod

Anyway, Top 2 would probably be 'Dancing Queen' and 'The Winner Takes It All'.

The first time I heard "Hey Hey Helen" was when Lush covered it 20 years ago:

I finally heard the original for the first time when I bought ABBA's album earlier this year and now it's one of my faves.

It's probably too late now, but can you imagine the amount of money they've been offered to do a reunion? It's probably in the tens of millions.

They turned down a $1 billion offer for a reunion tour in 2000.
