  • Tremendous piece of work! Great to also hear Carousel though it wasn't released... Thank you

  • Amazing job - great chronology !!!!

  • gET ON THE CARROUSLE NEVER WAS RELEASED

  • @aerocolombiano I know and agree I shouldn't have included it.

  • A brilliant video. I think ABBA is probably the best band ever as you just dont tend to get bands like ABBA now.

  • Wow you spent all that time macking just a 10 min video that was really cool

  • This is jut fantastic, the amount of effort and research you've put into the creation of this video is great....looking forward to the complete Andersson & Ulvaeus works!!

  • Excellent video! Well done from an Abba fan downunder!

  • i loooove them for singing but i hate them for stopping!!

  • thanks for this amazing compilation, I love ABBA and I like to discover new songs of them everyday. I'm glad that they recorded many songs in spanish.

    ABBA: lo mejor!

  • Great video!

  • Wow great work, well dune.

  • Excellent work! So many great songs, and seeing them in order by when released allows you to see the evolution of their music.

  • 8:11

  • The first time I saw this video there were so many songs I didn't know, now I am happy I know almost all of them! Thanks for making this great video. You are right, the public needs to know the real ABBA. It's a shame they are going down in history merely as a disco band. By the way, this video shows parts of many clips that I haven't seen so I'll go looking for them. Thanks!

  • My favourite Abba`s song was the last in their career :(

  • ABBA 100 Song (a 10 minute chronology)

  • @living4music98 and what might those be? :P

  • So cool hits, im just enjoying watching all the hits. But i wonder though, how can Get On The Carousel, Dream World, Åh, Vilka Tider, Hej, Gamle Man and You Owe Me One be released as an Abba hit? None of the hits exist in the 8 original albums, only in studio albums. Alright, a few was recorded just a few years before 1972, a few hits were recorded during their time and also a few were recorded after. But arent they classed as, unreleased? Otherwise, and even if its true, you did great!!

  • @etsaorned They don't have to be hits, just released.

  • Absolutely LOVED this! Great job!!! THANK YOU for posting this.

  • ABBA the BEST

  • Where is "just like that"?

  • @SofiaAlskarOlaSalo unreleased :/

  • Thank you-fantastic posting-I would dearly love a remixed dance compilation of ABBA songs to be released in future-why has noone ever done this?

  • Very enjoyable! I heard The Day Before You Came on the radio the other day and it struck me how way before it's time it was. Updated a little, it could be released now and easily compete with Adele etc.

  • Great video! Each song is a masterpiece! Oh, The Visitors album... How much I loved it! I listen to it again! :) Just a question: Are you sure "Get On The Carousel" was ever released? Congrat., really good video!

  • @Bagiricsi you are right to criticise this, and right too that it probably shouldn't be here. The excuse is of course that the sample is from The Movie, and The Movie is Released...

    (it won't be in the next one)

  • I have heard this video so many times now, that i know which order they come in, and can sing alonsg:) Great vid!

  • @musicbabyable I'm glad I'm not the only person who can recite this now lol

  • @musicbabyable

    Yay, air hi-five so can I. I just love to hear them all!

  • WOW! Impressive! What a lot of work! Thank you for both making and sharing this. I could call you (and your work, btw) awesome, superb, extraordinary, and yet rather feel I ran out of adequate adjectives to qualify. Your edition is perfect. Thanks once again, and I feel really happy to know that I'm not alone in the ABBA loving world. From a loyal fan since 1974.

  • Fantastic compilation! That had to have taken a long time to put together; it is much appreciated. I thought I knew all the ABBA songs but there were a few there I had never heard of. This video should be essential viewing for any ABBA fan.

  • Awesome video. I really like the Swedish version of Waterloo and some of the Spanish versions just to mix it up a little bit. Slipping through my fingers always makes me cry now that my kids are off to college. So many great songs!

  • ABBA is the Best!

  • Comment removed

  • Some songs I never heard before. Great.

  • Great compilation but what about 'Just Like That'?????

  • @seaclouds It's not released. At least not by ABBA ;-)

  • why did they have to quit! D:

  • Brilliant job, but two questions. If you include, Hej Gamle Man you should also have Tank Om Jorden Vore Ung, both on the album Lycka and both featuring all four.

    Secondly, did you think about putting any of Abba Undeleted, or was it just completed songs?

  • @cbak12sg Thanks for the criticism. Just fully released songs by ABBA :). You may have noticed that the first three weren't numbered - that's meant to show that they're very highly associated (because they appear on official ABBA compilations) but shouldn't really be counted. TOJVU therefore didn't qualify for even that special mention. Perhaps it will appear in a future video... ;)

  • @stormapproaching No criticism, just curiosity I suppose!

  • @cbak12sg No, no, criticism's good!  I don't claim to be the authority on the best places to draw the line on these things. But I had to make a decision, and I'm glad you think about it :)

  • ABBA Song (a 10 minute chronology)

  • Many thanks for this concentrate of musical genius, In my view ABBA's has given the world unparallel beauty in the melody, the wording, the girls voices and this freshness that all the viewers can appreciate. They are the only mausical group that I am addicted to, for me with ABBA there is always something new to be discovered . I love them so much, Thank you very much for posting this, ...

  • WOW ! great work ! Thanks for this dokumentation !!!

  • !!!!! Thank you!

  • You did a wonderful job withn this video. There a lots of song I never heard before, mostly from 1980 and 81.

    Just one question. The chats is from Europe?

  • This is an absolute triumph. I love it. I wish you could upload the extended videos where you got the edits from. It would be amazing for the fans to see the full rare footage in its entirety. The video is a true time capsule of one of the greatest groups to have ever performed on this planet. A big thank you for all your time and hard work.

  • @JonnyChappell thank you :). all the videos are on youtube somewhere or other.

  • I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • super job you did, what else can be said

    i was an ABBA fan, as was my first wife

    when we separated, as she had gone on a longer trip and I had met the mother of my children in the meantime, and she came back thinking it was all a love test, i decided against her and ABBA released The winner takes it all...

  • Love it :) Great job

  • How many artists can have 100 songs and every one is such a GEM? Abba can have 200 ..

  • Very good!

  • Great idea!

  • Wow! Excellent!!

  • Hi

    I was wondering if I could download this video and re - release it n my channel. I will say that you are the person who made it at the beginning.

  • @thecatgirldogz (deal made by PM ;-) )

  • many great thanks! good job, and very helpful, too!

  • Comment removed

  • youtube.com/watch?v=6xFvWaQCfc­c Check that out!

  • Awesome job, congrats

  • I LOVED IT¡ i thought that you had made a collection of single releases 'cause i didn't believe that every song of ABBA could be in just ten minutes. I am surprissed, this was very amazing. Thank you

  • reddit :D

  • Very great job !! super montage c'est une réalisation extraordinaire ! du jamais vu sur youtube ! never seen such a creation on youtube ! you are a great movie maker !

  • One of the best Video on youtube.

  • Amazing job! Wonderful video and band!

    Kudos to you, my friend.  (:

    xoxo

    The Clarences

  • I love this video, well done. How come it took 8 months? Did you start it and leave it?

  • @michaelleacy I didn't have every song at the beginning, in fact, collecting them all was the original project. The hunt for songs naturally became the documentation of what needed to be collected and the relevant info. When it was clear every song was available, the project was extended.

  • I was also still a student. Locating and cropping the section I wanted of each song was a good little discrete task I could fit in between more important commitments.

    When it came to the video, I couldn't find any free video editing tools useful enough for how I wanted it done. So I ended up making my own.

    (the sequel's been in the making for 13 months)

  • YOU DID AMAZING JOB!!!!!!!!!!

  • Great vid! I like Dancing Queen!

  • Brilliant

  • Oh, I think you forgot Just Like That?

  • @Tanskuspyro98 JLT is not released. Not by ABBA anyway.

  • HI I think you are forgetting You Owe me ONe?

  • @Sitkan16Abba Nope, it's there. Just gotta watch it again. ;-)

  • @stormapproaching Sorry did miss it, but still this video is a master pice :) Love it

  • @Sitkan16Abba It's just before I am the city at the end

  • Hey Storm approaching. Thanks! Like I said before, a timeless compilation of what changed music forever. Glad you agree, as I really have no knowledge of any group that influenced music the way ABBA did. I include the Beatles, Stones, etc.

    But ABBA started the whole disco, Pop, and Independent music of today.

    Pure genius should be attributed ho all the members, Stig, and especially Michael Tretow.

    And, Thank you!

  • So so much absolutely awesome wonderful emotional music I laughed and cried loved and longed , how many groups can say they had what these four people brought to so many lives it is truely timeless . on behalf of music lovers everywhere let me just say ABBA forever forever ABBA.

  • wow that was totally fantastic what wonderful memories what fantastic and beautiful songs. Thank you so much Storpapproaching

    Gerry/Swindon/Uk

  • ABBA is the best!

  • "Should I Laugh or Cry" is one of of the most underrated things in the history of everything!

  • @JeiceTheWarrior Yes, should have been a single, i think better than head over heals.

  • Thank You ABBA For The Music

  • brilliant!

  • correct me if I'm wrong but I think you missed "does your mother know" and "thank you for the music".....

  • @misschristine3451 They're there. You can check the description to be surer :)

  • @stormapproaching :) Darn i must have missed them

  • This is a brilliant collection - fantastic job!!!

  • quite a work of art to say the least! love it

  • Man, I can't believe 4 people did not like this. What a tremendous work of art. Should be required teaching in every music school in the world!

    And, yes; I do choose my words carefully, just the way I process info. This IS a work of art, combined with a passion for what literally changed music for all time.

    God bless Benny and Bjorn, Ani-Frid and, of course, Agnetha.

    This group is the model for all, and I mean all groups since have tried to follow.

    Thank you!

  • @B52sguy I just noticed that myself the other day. Fine if they dislike ABBA, but what did I do wrong?  It's not like I'm making an argument.

    Anyway, cheers for all the comments.

  • @B52sguy oh I believe god blessed them above any other group

  • brilliant briliant thankyou! i had a song stuck in my head but knew ABSOLUTLEY NO LYRICS so i couldnt google it. i was humming the tune to everybody but no one knew it. thankyou so much!

    ended up being angle eyes btw :)

  • @richbitch56 glad to be of service :)

  • Great

  • thanks for this video :)

  • I like it!!!!Thank you very much!!!

  • Best ABBA video on the net. Well done :D

  • fernando was also in swedish

  • @Sitkan16Abba that is true, but was released as a Frida solo. I appreciate the help.

  • @Sitkan16Abba The Swedish version of Fernando was not an ABBA version, but a solo track from Frida.

  • Awesome compiltion of a very great group of artists. Wish they were still singing.

  • I know what U mean, I discovered ABBA in the mid 90's and to me the Gold and More Gold compilation where the IT reference to their songs. One Xmas I got the Thank you for the music 4 CD and booklet set and it opened all to me towards their music I mean each song they perform is like "How come I can leave this out of my playlist?" Even if it's not a released single. I can think of As Good As New, Soldiers, Arrival, Lovelight, Me and I and many others 

  • Great compilation.!! You've done the video in such a clever way.. Onto my playlist at once. Thank you for posting. I saw ABBA when they came to Australia in 1977. Fantastic !!!!!!. Went to Melbourne on 19/6/10 to see ABBAWORLD> FABULOUS !!!!!!!!!-----------------Anni­e from Sydney.

  • I love this video !

  • Why does each song have two dates on them?

  • Why is She's My Kind Of Girl, Hej Gamle Man and Santa Rosa not numbered? Great recap video of all of ABBA's songs.

  • @CliveKoopa They're technically not ABBA songs although they are often part of ABBA compilations. As you can see from the title image, the left date is the recording date and the right is the first release.

  • FANTASTIC!!!!! well done

  • This is incredibly done!!! Wow, that must have taken lots of time and paitience.

  • Dance while the music still goes on!!!!!! and Honey Honey!!!!!

  • THAT'S F A N T A S T I C!

  • It's currently showing at Federation Square in Melbourne. I'm from Sydney and am flying down next week to see it as it may not come to Sydney. I'd die if I missed it.

  • What an amazing compilation!!!!!!!!!!!

    Are you looking forward to the "Abbaworld" touring exhibition?

  • @Giraffe2502 Not actively.. don't even know when it's in my area.

  • Brilliant. This is truly an amazing retrospective. Have you shown Bjorn and Benny?

  • @RossGraysonBell

    No... but if I knew how...?

  • If I have not said it before (and I know I have) ABBA both rocks and rolls. This is the greatest tribute I have ever seen. One to have with a bit of Aquavit and a close friend. Bless your heart.

  • Great job. Awesome

  • What an amazing mix. Just shows how much B&B and Stig had a pulse on music.

    The very best of the best of the best. And I listen to a lot of music.

    Priceless compilation.

  • You sort of made it reach 100.

  • @mytbesa it was not exactly a goal

  • Fantastic! Now I need to search for the full songs I want to hear again. I'm going to be sitting here all night! Oh well :)

  • amazing... so many songs I need to hear! thanks!

  • the songs just got better and better !! :O But all of their songs were of course great, I really think so...and I'm 17 year old girl...but I have no shame for loving their songs, and why should I ?? xd this music is quite timeless

  • You get 100 marks for this video and ABBA gets 100 marks for their songs. They were and still are the best. Millions of people all over the world still listen to their songs every day. They are timeless ... thank you so much stormapproaching ... ernest (singapore)

  • Every song here is an Art absolute Master Piece. This video captured all the beautiful songs of ABBA. I wouldn't change a thing. I would love to see something similar combining all the solos of each singer as well as the groups they were in, from pre-Abba to Post Abba. I wish all of these songs and videos could be purchased in one. Live Long, Healthy and Happy -ABBA. From a fan who is now a Mother and her children are now ABBA fans. M.Costello, CALIFORNIA

  • MyraCostello

  • Wow that was hard work!

  • Stormapproaching - thank you very very much for bringing back to me and reviving part of my young years. Some of these song - I had completely forgotten them - like Dance (While the music still goes on) - it's a beautiful, appealing song. No wonder, of course - ABBA is ABBA. Like Move on, which I used to listen to so often in the late '70...

    Such a wonderful return.

    Thank you!

  • A wonderful idea you had! Thank you sOOOO much, stormapproaching.

    It was like a passage through my best memories, the time of my life that was so much connected with ABBA and each new album they released.

    So - did they really have this round number of 100 songs?

    Dear ABBA lovers - in this amazing ABBA-anthology one great song follows another (with just few exceptions).

    This is a GALLERY of MASERPIECES

    Long live stormapproaching for his work, thank you - a faithful ABBA lover

  • Thanks :) . It's just luck that it landed on 100. If I'd changed by criteria slightly it could have been anything in 99-105

  • Brilliant, really, except that you forgot just like that.

  • Comment removed

  • Absolutely Brilliant, Breathtakingly Awesome :-)

    note the initials my friends :-)

  • did you include 'Just like that'?

  • No, that's a Gemini release. ;-)

  • it gave me a chance to know songs of ABBA that i did not know , thank you , now i can look into those more deeply , great work , love AGNETA ALWAYS .

  • love this! what a fantastic job--must have been lots of work--Thanks!

  • Wow this is amazing. I can't think of any that it is not in, and that is saying something!!! This must have taken AGES!!! Thanks for taking the time to do this! GO ABBA!!!!!!! Go all the songs no one knows!!! e.g 'Me an I' and 'Cassandra!

    I was shocked When I heard my best friend had never heard of Hasta Manana, and I always thought it was really well known. I think it is SO annoying that the only abba songs people know are 'S.O.S' 'Mamma mia' 'Dancing Queen' and 'the winner takes it all'.

  • This is just great! I can't believe you actually did this! You're great! Good work! :):)

  • Amazing...thanks for making this one and uploading. :)

  • Great compilation -- extremely well. Done. I noticed that Dancing Queen wasn't released for over a year after it was recorded. I couldn't help but wonder about that. Obviously they knew what they were doing. If they had known that it was going to turn out to be their no. 1 best seller (which, of course, they couldn't) they might have done things a little differently. (Just thinking out loud.)

  • this is a wonderful tribute.....

    really wonderful....

  • Outstanding video.

  • The Stig ?

  • This vid is SO well done!!!!!!! I absolutely love ABBA and immediately posted this on my facebook page so all my friends could see... So great, and I can tell it was a time-consuming task, a labour of love!!!!!!! :)

  • Omg I haven't heard some of these in years! And haha at agnethas pink outfit thing with the heart! She looks like cheerbear :)

  • excelente trabajo!!

    excellent

    great job!!!

  • Thanks for the time this must have taken!

  • Absolutely brilliant.Just proves that Abba never made a bad recording.

  • Thanks so much for what must have been a lot of work. This is truly one of the best I've seen on YouTube. Really, thanks. Terrific.

  • This is like listening to the inside of my head..... with video!

    great job! It's amazing the level of appreciation ABBA still inspire!

  • Que coisa lindaaaaa!

    Veja como eles sempre foram fantasticos do início ao fim. Por isso eu digo e afirmo mais uma vez: ABBA é uma banda mágica. Ninguém NUNCA chegará aos pés deles. É muito talento! É muita Alegria! É muita Emoção! Perfeitos.!!!!!!!!!! Parabéns a quem colocou este maravilhoso clip.

  • Very nice, I love ABBA, Romualdo *BRASIL*
