JAKARTA - Hearing ABBA's songs, feels like going through time to the past. This Swedish group has spawned a series of popular hits throughout its career.

They formed in 1972 in Stockholm, with Anni-Frid, Benny, Agnetha and Bjorn. However, their names began to stick out when they followed Eurovision and became champions.

At that time ABBA won thanks to the song Waterloo, which in 2005 was named the best song at the Eurovision event. They made history, making their career skyrocket.

The BBC will broadcast a special program to commemorate those historic times. In the framework of ABBA's 50-year victory at Eurovision, they packed When ABBA Came To Britain and More ABBA At The BBC as tribute.

"When ABBA Came to Britain was a love letter from this country for a Swedish supergroup, celebrating our special relationship with Benny, Bjorn, Agnetha and Anni-Frid," Rachel Davies as Commissioning Editor at BBC Pop Music TV, reported by NME.

ABBA has gained a lot of fans from various ages. That's why this show is not only intended for generations of ABBA's age, but also from younger age circles.

"We focus on the story of some of the people we feel lucky to be able to dive into their world. A show that pop fans must watch from various ages," he concluded.
