One of the most anticipated comebacks in pop culture has finally come to pass: the return of Abba. Forty years after the bitter songs written in the wake of two band divorces for their last album, 1981’s The Visitors, the Swedish pop quartet has reunited for Voyage, an album of brand new songs that were released today, on 5 November 2021.
That is why we highlight this original ABBA video today. Enjoy!

The group – Benny Andersson, Agnetha Fältskog, Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Björn Ulvaeus – have also announced a new concert experience in London, also called Voyage, beginning in May 2022. Digital versions of themselves (not holograms, their team asserted) will appear nightly alongside a 10-piece live band at a new 3,000-capacity venue in the city’s Olympic park, called the Abba Arena. Tickets go on general sale on Tuesday 7 September.

To celebrate this new we highlight this original TopPop recording SOS from their heydays in the 1970's. Also check our ABBAplaylist on the home page!

'SOS' is a song from the Swedish pop group ABBA, the second single from their album ABBA. The song, first called 'Turn me on', was later recorded by Agnetha Fältskog as a solo artist. She sang the song in Swedish on her solo album 'Elva kvinnor i ett hus' (1975).

SOS is written by Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus and manager Stig Anderson. The title was chosen by Stig. The texts he had offered were rewritten by Ulvaeus.
The song reached #2 in the Dutch Top 40 in June 1975. It also reached the Top2000 in 1999 and stayed in the Top2000 for all consecutive years.
This is the last recording made by Toppop of ABBA. It was first broadcast on 13 June 1975.
