“Dancing Queen” by ABBA Original Painting (Sold)

‘Dancing Queen’ was recorded in 1975 for the ‘Arrival’ album and released as a single in August 1976. It’s considered by many to be ABBA’s signature song, as it reached #1 in the charts of 13 countries, including the UK. It was ABBA’s only number 1 single in the United States (in April 1977). In 2008 it ranked #171 on Rolling Stone’s list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, the only ABBA song on the list. Benny Andersson has cited it as “one of those songs where you know during the sessions that it's going to be a smash hit.” Agnetha Fältskog also stated “It’s often difficult to know what will be a hit. The exception was Dancing Queen. We all knew it was going to be massive.”
