some things are contagious in a good way
like the beat the sound and the
infectious joy of these Swedes at their
best welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’re counting down our picks for the
top 10 ABBA songs
for this list we’ve chosen our entries
based on a combination of the artists
fan favorite and their most commercially
successful songs number 10 Super Trouper
the title track from Abbas 1980 album
hit number one on several countries
charts and was a major dance hit in the
US it’s opening a cappella harmonies
lead into a mid-tempo charmer
that’s so upbeat in mood one doesn’t
initially notice it’s a song about
loneliness and longing
feeling like a number very ABBA to do
that
number nine SOS they seem so hard to
find
a major number-one hit around the world
SOS reached the top 15 in the US and the
top 10 in Canada
I wish i
the song starts out with a feeling of
melancholy intention both in the music
and in Anita felts cogs vocals
but as soon as the chorus hits the
bouncing music overwhelms any doubts
that this singer won’t really be able to
carry on are quickly dispelled
number eight gimme gimme gimme a man
after midnight covered by tEEN TOP
wanders guitar virtuosos electronica
bands and even goth metal musicians and
sampled by Madonna herself gimme gimme
gimme a man after midnight was a huge
hit except in the US
more blatantly carnal than many other
Alba songs it sizzles with energy and is
an awesome song to dance to people who
hate disco can’t help but get moving
when this one comes on
number seven Waterloo
habet first made waves with 1974’s
waterloo which won that year’s
Eurovision Song Contest
bouncy and extremely singable chorus it
soared to number one in numerous
countries including Britain and made the
top ten in the US when all was said and
done six million singles were sold and a
bomb was launched to start up
number six the winner takes it all I
don’t want to talk about things we’ve
gone through another top 10 hit in the
u.s. the winner takes it all is all
about a painful breakup now it’s history
written at the same time as the divorce
of ABBA members Bjorn Ulvaeus and
Agnetha fältskog the songs heartfelt
lyrics seemed to be a highly personal
statement
it’s also a major highlight of Mamma Mia
the stage in film musical drawn from
Abbas song catalog
number five Fernando can you hear the
drums
Fernando is often considered Abbas
biggest selling single racking up
worldwide sales of more than 10 million
copies in the five
and deservedly so it’s hard to resist
any free links Todd’s compellingly
tender slightly achy solos
arrangement with its airy flutes and
softly strummed guitars creates an oddly
peaceful setting
and how many pop songs are about people
feeling nostalgic for their days as
revolutionaries
number four knowing me knowing you know
Oh
breaking up is hard to do as another
songwriter once said but it’s handled in
a pretty adult manner in knowing me
knowing you
this whole familiar
matter-of-fact lyrics and forceful and
determined arrangement paint a clear
picture
nothing chooses heart may be broken but
it’s better off that way no
we can
with me No
the message resonated worldwide hitting
the top three in at least 10 countries
number three Mamma Mia
although not a major hit on the US
charts the song has still become one of
those most identified with ABBA
here I go again my my how can I resist
part of this is due to its use as the
title of the Abba musical
as well as the undeniable catchiness of
its course Mamma Mia fared better
initially on the international market
after all who can resist a song that
features a marimba
if you change your mind number two take
a chance on me honey ah a chance on me
at least 14 countries welcome take a
chance on me into their top 10 charts
the song’s distinctive title rhythm
derived from a repetitive phrase urinal
vase chanted while running every day
money I’m Steve
when combined with a crystal-clear
Europop production and those trademark
Abba harmonies it’s an enticing alluring
sound that you want to hear over and
over
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
Oh
Hey
Hey
gee
number one dancing queen dancing queen
was a massive mega hit and chart-topper
in more than a dozen countries it’s also
the only Abba hit to reach number one on
the US pop charts
hey it’s even the favorite song of
Senator John McCain that’s how catchy it
is
an incredibly powerful single dancing
queen captures a moment of pure youthful
joy
when you’re listening to this song you
get the feeling anything is possible
and that’s a rare feeling
