Following a hint from singer Agnetha Faltskog about a potential reunion, bookies are placing bets on an ABBA comeback, Sweden’s most successful band.
After coming out of retirement to launch a solo album titled “A”, Faltskog was asked by a German publication whether she would consider an ABBA reunion, to which she gave a positive reply.
“Perhaps a charity concert? I wouldn’t outright say ‘No’,” she stated.
In 2008, her former husband Bjorn Ulvaeus and fellow ABBA songwriter Benny Andersson made a commitment not to reunite the group, which disbanded in 1982 after achieving nine No.1 hits.
Anni-Frid Lyngstad was the fourth member of the band, known for hits like “Mamma Mia,” “Super Trouper,” and “Dancing Queen.”
However, with the opening of an ABBA museum in Stockholm approaching in May, speculation regarding the group’s reunion has intensified.
In response to the growing buzz, one bookmaker has offered odds of 14/1 for ABBA to perform together in 2013.
Additionally, they provided odds of 16/1 for ABBA to kick off the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest in Malmo, Sweden, on May 16, the event that launched ABBA into stardom after their 1974 victory with the song “Waterloo.”
