AGNETHA FALTSKOG

With their catchy tunes, energetic performances, and flashy costumes ABBA managed to captivate audiences the world over. Their band is a huge influence from different generations even today’s. Agnetha deserves part of the credit for all of it, having been in the group for decades before they disbanded. From singing and dancing to hits such as Take a Chance on Me and Mamma Mia, the singer went on to launch a career on her own.

The blonde beauty didn’t receive the same success as the group did, however. Her album Wrap Your Arms Around Me got a lukewarm reception. Nevertheless, she continued and made investments in other fields—including authoring her personal biography. For those of you that did not know, Faltskog took a break from recording music for 16 years. Thankfully she went back and released her new album in 2004 and made another comeback in 2013 with her album A.
