[SWE]

ABBA var en svensk popgrupp som bildades 1972. När ABBA upplöstes 1983 hade gruppen sålt omkring 180 miljoner skivor. ABBA är Sveriges mest framgångsrika musikexport och fortsätter att sälja 2-4 miljoner skivor varje år.

Namnet ABBA kommer från medlemmarnas initialer: Agnetha, Björn, Benny och Anni-Frid. Abba bestod av två gifta par: Björn Ulvaeus och Agnetha Fältskog samt Benny Andersson och Anni-Frid 'Frida' Lyngstad.

De båda paren flyttade hit, till bostadsområdet Dragonvreten, i januari 1972. På Rosengårdsvägen 87 bodde Agnetha och Björn och på nr 115 bodde Benny och Anni-Frid. I oktober 1974 flyttade Björn och Agnetha till Lidingö och 1975 lämnade även Benny och Frida Vallentuna och flyttade till Gamla Stan.

När ABBA behövde repa inför den gemensamma sommarturnén 1972 fick de låna matsalen i närliggande Ekebyskolan i utbyte mot en framtida gratisspelning i kommunen. Detta löfte har dock ännu ej infriats.

ABBA was a Swedish pop group that was formed in 1972. When ABBA disbanded in 1983 the group had sold 180 million records. Abba is the most successful Swedish musical export of all time, and continues to sell 2-4 million records a year.

The name "ABBA" consists of the four members' initials: Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Anni-Frid. Abba consisted of two married couples: Björn Ulvaeus and Agnetha Fältskog and Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid "Frida" Lyngstad.

In January of 1972, the two couples moved to this residential area called Dragonvreten. Björn and Agnetha used to live at Rosengårdsvägen 87 and Benny and Anni-Frid at Rosengårdsvägen 115. They didn't stay for long though. In October of 1974, Björn and Agnetha moved to Lidingö and in 1975 even Benny and Anni-Frid left Vallentuna when moving to the Old Town in central Stockholm.

When ABBA had to rehearse prior to the upcoming summer tour of 1972, they were given the opportunity to do so in the dining quarter of nearby Ekeby School. This in exchange that they were to give a free concert within the municipality of Vallentuna. This promise has not yet been fulfilled.
