Every Released ABBA Song (a 10 minute chronology)

Every Released ABBA Song
(a 10 minute chronology)


Eight months in the making, this is an attempt to educate the masses. Not necessarily to convert people into fans, in fact, this is more for the semi-fans who insist on ignoring everything but the Gold compilation.

Thanks mainly to tribute bands and the stage show Mamma Mia!, people are forgetting the true ABBA. Too much of their modern image revolves around the (deliberately) crazy costumes and happy-go-lucky lyrics. The real ABBA had so much variety.

And so was conceived this chronology - it's the fairest and most interesting way to present the history of the foursome. Listen to their sound evolve from folk to synthpop via many others; note the experiments with reggae, funk, classical and techno. Watch their fashion and lyrics mature.

Enjoy.

Information from ABBA-World http://www.abba-world.net, ABBASite http://www.abbasite.com and ABBA Recording Chronology http://www.discog.info/abba.html (although some of their dates vary)

Video made with a variety of tools, some of which I programmed myself.

Don't hesitate to dispute inclusion criteria or song order.

Correction 1. Honey, Honey (#18) was released in Swedish, not Spanish.
Correction 2. Neil Sedaka and Phil Cody should be co-cited for the English version of Ring Ring.
Correction 3. Get on the Carousel (#56) should probably not be included here as it is only available on ABBA The Movie and not as a full track on audio media.

gET ON THE CARROUSLE NEVER WAS RELEASED

[stormapproaching]

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

[etsaorned]

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!!

[stormapproaching]

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

[SofiaAlskarOlaSalo]

Where is "just like that"?

[stormapproaching]

@SofiaAlskarOlaSalo unreleased :/

[arnarogbjorn]

why did they have to quit! D:

[peepathesun]

ABBA is the Best!

[grlewycky]

Amazing job - great chronology !!!!

[tom201090]

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

[lizzybrady2001]

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

[123billydog]

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!!

[Adam44Joseph]

Excellent video! Well done from an Abba fan downunder!

[svenskaflicka428]

[blinkerita]

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!
