ABBA after their Eurovision victory in Brighton in 1974
It comes hours after ABBA thanked fans for a rare statement as the band celebrates the 50th anniversary of their Eurovision Song Contest victory.
The iconic ’70s pop group – made up of Bjorn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, Agnetha Faltskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad – remain the show’s most famous and successful export after they were crowned winners in April 1974 with their song Waterloo.
Reflecting on this milestone, the group, which later disbanded in 1982, released a joint statement expressing gratitude for the fans’ “steadfast loyalty and support over the years.”
To mark the anniversary, several pianos across Europe will simultaneously play a pre-recorded by Benny, making it sound like he’s playing live.
Sharing a photo of the foursome who won the award, they wrote: ‘It is somewhat staggering and deeply humbling to think that millions of you who first saw us at the 1974 Eurovision final have not only passed on our music to one generation, but to different ones.
“Every time one of us visits Abba Voyage in London we see evidence of that, and it is because of this that we can celebrate the 50th anniversary of that event knowing that our songs still resonate around the world.”
They continued, “It is so It’s hard to believe that fifty years have passed since the four of us waited backstage for the verdicts of all the juries across Europe in the Dome in Brighton.
‘So what were our dreams during those tense moments or in the chaos in the aftermath of the victory we achieved by the smallest margin in Eurovision history?
‘Undoubtedly four different dreams, but whatever they were, however grand, reality has surpassed them, that’s for sure.’
The group had a huge repertoire of hits, including Dancing Queen (1976), Gimme! Give me! Give me! (1979) and Super Trouper (1976) to name a few.

Since their split, their music catalog has included the Mamma Mia! film franchise and theater show, and most recently the incredible ABBA Voyage.
The iconic hologram show has pumped £322 million into the UK economy – with more than a million tickets purchased for up to £181.50 each.
Five years in the making, the performance takes audiences back to Abba’s heyday of the 1970s and 1980s and allows fans to experience them in concert, despite their split in December 1982.
Thanking fans for their continued support, they added: ‘Many of you were there from the very beginning and have been following us ever since – for over half a century!
‘Music that you discover and learn to love as you grow up or even later in life can stay with you forever.

The lengthy statement thanked fans for their continued support, adding: “Many of you were there from the very beginning and have followed us ever since – for over half a century!
“We share that experience with you and it’s great to know that our music has become a constant in your lives.”
They concluded, “Over the years we have been blessed with the outpouring of love from you, our fans.
‘We feel it and we want to know that hardly a day goes by without being reminded of it. To thank you for what you give us, without sounding trivial, is not easy and this is not a moment of triviality.
“It is a happy yet solemn moment and we can only hope that you understand how deeply grateful we are for a long, successful career and for your steadfast loyalty and support over the years. Thank you!’
