- ABBA celebrated worldwide success
- The band prohibits the use of their songs with a few exceptions
- One of these exceptions also became a world hit of its own
These musicians were allowed to use ABBA songs
ABBA, consisting of Agnetha Fältskog , Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad, was able to celebrate global fame in the seventies and eighties. They inspired millions of fans with songs like "Dancing Queen" and "Waterloo". Hardly any other band could hold a candle to the four musicians during their heyday.
Even today they still maintain their icon status. That's exactly why only a few selected artists are allowed to sample the hits of the Swedish band.
The band members Björn and Benny are known for being very careful that no one uses excerpts from ABBA songs. In 1987, they sued the band KLF for using a passage from their song "Dancing Queen".
A decade later, they allowed the Fugees to use part of their song "The Name Of The Game" for the song "Rumble In The Jungle". And pop diva Madonna, after asking ABBA several times, was also allowed to help herself to a piece. The result was the hit "Hung Up". Benny Andersson commented on the song as follows: "It's a wonderful track, 100 percent real pop music!".
