Abba – The Artist
ABBA are a Swedish pop group formed in Stockholm in 1972 by Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad. The group’s name is an acronym of the first letters of their first names. They became one of the most commercially successful acts in the history of popular music, topping the charts worldwide from 1974 to 1982. ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest 1974 at The Dome in Brighton, UK, giving Sweden its first triumph in the contest. They are the most successful group to have taken part in the competition. Estimates of ABBA’s total record sales are at least 400 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling music artists of all time.
One of us – The Song
One of us is a song by Swedish pop group ABBA. It was released in December 1981 as the lead single from the band’s eighth studio album, The Visitors. “One of Us”—which had the working titles “Number 1” and “Mio Amore”—was one of the last songs recorded for ABBA’s 1981 album The Visitors, and features a lead vocal by Agnetha Fältskog. It was one of a number of tracks that explored the darker territory of Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson’s songwriting, as the two men’s divorces were beginning to influence their musical output. The message of the song is about a woman trying to revive a relationship she had ended. Despite misgivings on the part of manager Stig Anderson, and its somewhat depressing lyric, “One of Us” was released as the first single from The Visitors, coupled with the non-album track “Should I Laugh or Cry” it proved a wise move as it would become ABBA’s final No. 1 single of their career.

Love these. First admired them in Farnham Market. My friend secretly purchased the New York New York one for my birthday . We were off to New York to celebrate my birthday later that month. We then went to see ABBA Voyager for her birthday and I immediately thought I know what to get her. We grew up living next door to each other and although we have for many years lived at opposite ends of the country She will always be part of our family. Hence the choice of “one of us”. Lovely nostalgic way of remembering and making memories.
