It’s pretty much the same for older people like myself. I know some “newer” music, even some songs I like, but ask me what’s currently in the charts, I wouldn’t know, because *my* playlists and the radio stations *I* listen to are mostly full of older songs.

As far i know you are not exactly right about it. While it can be , that it was during their divorce, the song came to him not because of that. I heard from Björn himself: that he was on a party... and he was also a bit drunk late night, and walked home alone on the streets, and within that 30 minutes of walking, this melody came into his head, and back at home he wrote it down (not the notes himself, because none of the Abba-members could read notes). But the chords etc he wrote down. The lyrics came much much later. And the first lyrics were even happy, as far i know. It was only later that they changed it to sad lyrics. There is also a fresh interview with Benny and Björn, were both say that the melody comes always first...and later on, they fill it with lyrics. They also say: the lyrics aren't so important. Thats why Abba got mostly critized back in the days for meaningless lyrics (like ''honey honey''... or ''ring ring'' ... or ''money money money'' (...''always funny...in a richmans world'' ) ) ... It was for that critics that they began to make more meaningful lyrics to the songs (like ''the winner takes it all'' ) ... But still: the song ''the winner takes it all'' was with happy lyrics first... and later on with sad lyrics - turned out, the sad lyrics fit much better to the song. In general Abba had mostly happy , or even goofy songs (like ''when i kissed the teacher'' ) . I think they just want to make songs which lifts the mood of people... and are good to dance to it... thats also a reason why the ''lyrics'' didnt have to be deep. Anyway .. because of the sadness of the lyrics most people think, that it was because of the divorce. Björn often said in interviews that it was not the case. Because he already broke up with Agnetha 2 years earlier (so the relationship was at an end already). Also it was much more hurtful to Agnetha, than to Björn.. Björn was in 1980 already happy with another women (who he married 1981). So i hope you see: the song has nothing to do with 'Björns sad feelings'' ... In fact Björn and Agnetha literally hated eachother between 1978-1981 ... so that they even argued a lot in the music studio - they literally yelled to eachother in those times in the music studio etc.. Hope you now can better see, how this song didnt had anything to do with ''Agnetha finding another guy'' ... she was even pregnant end of 1977 (her son was born right in december 1977 ... she had no reasons to cheat on Björn, or divorce him.. they were a family in 1978 ) ... So really : the song wasnt written because of sad feelings of Björn. Björn in fact was very happy in love with his new girlfriend in 1980 - when he wrote this ''sad song'' ... Yes, the lyrics came from Björn, and yes, he said, he was inspired from his divorce for the lyrics - but thats it - he said often clearly : the song has nothing to do with his situation with Agnetha, back than.

Well, be it fiction or real, ABBA understood showbusiness and put in enormous efforts to sell their products (pop songs) The more the theme of a song resonates with the experiences of the listening audience, the better the song does on the top selling music charts. Commercial music is akin to acting, actors don't need to have had a first hand personal experiences of the characters in the scripts that they interpret. The Winner Takes it All, most people don't understand is about being jealous of the new woman who has replaced her (the narrator ) in her matrimonial home. The new woman who is now in her ex life is the winner and the singer or the narrator is the loser.

This is a very powerful and sad song because the members were married to one another and had painful divorces. Yet stood beside one another and sang about their feelings in public. One hell of a group.

I stayed in a hotel owned by one of the Abba members. Each room had an Abba CD. Abba was the background music to my teenage years. Special.

The ABBA song that makes me cry every time is Chiquitita..omg it's heartbreakingly beautiful. The message of picking oneself up despite the pain and continuing. But then also they did it in Spanish and they gave the rights to the song to Unicef. It is heartwrenching when put into that context of politics and poverty.

Hi :) As i am from Sweden i grow up with ABBA songs:) The song is some from their breakup Agnetha and Björn wich did indeed wrote the song. I can also say that this is actually Agnetas own favorit of all their songs:) Agneta and Björn has a dauther together and are good friends but didnt divorce because of cheating, Agnetha was a very shy women and she had it hard 2 be on tour so much of them stopp making tours was when Benny and Anne-Frida and Benny also got a divorce to much 4 them all, Frida did actually end up and married a real prince actually sadly he died. She also did a solo song wich is called there is something goving on wich i liked a lot a heavy pop with much base. Agnetha has done solo songs 2 but it took a longer time 4 her . There was a man a fan that broke into her home wiich made her more withdrawn 4 a long time. Björn did marry a women named Lena i think and Benny a woman named Mona and they had a son Peter wich also became a artist, Today Benny has a band called BAO Benny Anderssons orkester as its written in Swedish. Another very emotionel song that they do wich i love is named Slipping trou my fingers check that out and one that is a rock pop song i think is a song that hasnt been getting the full attention as it should thats the song Why did it have to be me:) You have a cold chest of songs and u will never forget them. ABBA is Sweden as much as Volvo and Ikea only Roxette has been as high up as ABBA and people loved them because they were and are extremly humble people very simple and easy going. And Björn and Benny has done musicals thats been played in London many years called Chess and others to. They are extremly good musicians and Agnetha and Anne-Frid their voices was a great match:) Just a little info. Hope u are doing well i am from a city outside of Gothenburg called Kungsbacka or in English Kingshill:) take care hugs and Gby Rika.

Yes, I remember the fanbooks back in the day where friends filled in information on the various pages. The other girls all seemed to like Agnetha the most, so I decided I would go for Frida. Always in favour of the underdog. But then Agnetha turned out to be a quite selfless person. After all, she loved recording, but did not enjoy the overseas concerts and the attention. She was a blonde woman with blue eyes, but not a narcissist. And in Sweden, she hadn't caused much of a stir with her appearance, because her country is full of blondes with blue eyes anyway.

@@feridedogan7653 I read your first comment and now the second and I see that you have not read mine I don't criticize that a melody is simple, and I repeated it at the end, when I said that the song can be simple or with rhythm changes, and still be great. ej Bee Gees have their first big hit with "Massachusetts", which has a simple, linear melody with no variations and it's a wonderful song It is in my Top 5 of them and coming back to this The winner takes it all has a simple melody and it's also in my ABBA Top5. along with songs with more complex melodies such as The name of the game simplicity and complexity, done well, are admirable You are right: I don't know about music or melodies or compositions, I speak because of what it generates in my soul and heart when listening to them surely you know more about music than me Cheers

The winner takes it all. It's like singing our lives. A song that I can sympathize with.

wow, this really takes me back to my young ages 1980, i was just 8 years when ABBA won in MELODY FESTIVAL with this song. now, im 53 and brings me lots of memmories. The feelings with this song. it feels in my heart.

ABBA PARA SEMPRE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

ABBA is acronim with initials of Their first names, two swedish couples in the Swedish quartet: A- Agnetha (blonde singer) & B- Björn (guitarist songwriter) B- Benny (pianist songwriter) & A- Anni Frida (brunette singer) both couples separated before the breakup of ABBA in 1982 "The winner takes it all" (1980) is one of the Best Songs by ABBA and the Most sad and emotional too The best lyrics (written by the guitarist Björn) and the greatest performing with the amazing Interpretation of the lead singer (the blonde Agnetha, his ex wife) The lyrics is a fiction, it is not about Their real life, although it is obviously influenced by Their own experiences and the realization of the legal divorce in the middle of 1980, even though They were no longer a couple or lived together more than a year and half ago, at the end of 1978 ABBA have more than 20 worldwide hits between 1972/1982, included: Waterloo Fernando Dancing Queen Take a chance on me Chiquitita All these songs are in your album recopilation GOLD (1992) that a year and half ago have more than 1.000 weeks at Top 100 in UK Official Charts (first group singer or artist to do it) and after 35 years all ABBA members return to studio in 2017 and recording initialy two new songs and finally a full new album Voyage released in last November 2021 that is a worldwide success ABBA begin your worlwide fame when They won the classic Eurovision Song Contest at Brighton UK in April 1974 with their iconic song "Waterloo" that's my suggestion to next reaction: "Waterloo" by ABBA at Eurovisión 1974

@@dtulip1 I was also watching the ESC -74. Also their previous Swedish contest, which ended up second in Sweden. And of course their previous singing in Festfolket and even before they started to play together, like Hepstars etc.
