The results were explosive, and while Waterloo is technically ABBA’s first single, fans need to go to 1972’s People Need Love (released as ‘Björn & Benny, Agnetha & Anni-Frid’) for the band’s real genesis, plus the entire Ring Ring album a year later (released as ‘Björn & Benny, Agnetha & Frida’) which were actually big Euro hits before it. Despite its cheek-to-cheek, sexy tango-vibes, TDBYC is a profoundly bleak, 100% electronic ‘sad banger’ before such a thing ever existed, and very much a continuation of the ‘divorce ABBA’ they coined on The Visitors.

This one - of course - being the absolute apex of their break-up brilliance. a b Ryan, Gavin (2011). Australia's Music Charts 1988–2010 (pdfed.). Mt.

Meandering, and uncertain, a victim of its own complexity, Another You Another Me is transformed from loosely chained non sequiturs into a birrova monster via its soaring chorus. And that resolve into the second verse... Gets us every time [wipes tear]. Waterloo detonated in the collective European consciousness on the 6 April 1974 at the Eurovision Song Contest, broadcast live from the UK’s Brighton Dome. Keen to scupper the strong pre-show favourite, and with a cavalcade of enthusiastic votes storming in from elsewhere, the home judges stunningly and shamefully gave Waterloo the lowest of all possible scores on the night - aka no points at all (the famous ‘nul points’) - in a petulant attempt to swizz a ‘home’ win for (Australian ...) Oliva Newton-John’s UK entry. Mercifully, their plot failed, and ABBA won with 24 points, trouncing Newton-John into 4th with 14.
