Digging the 𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐞𝐧! 💃 On this day in 1977, ABBA hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time with their smash, “Dancing Queen”! 40 years after it was written, the song was inducted into the #GRAMMYs Hall Of Fame. The song sat on the shelf for almost 12 months, initially passed over for single release in favor of “Fernando” because ABBA needed a ballad to follow “Mamma Mia.” But composers Björn and Benny were convinced it was the best thing they had written to date, and Agnetha and Frida were certain it had hit potential too. “We knew immediately it was going to be massive,” said the former. #ABBA #DancingQueen #PopMusic #MammaMia #70sMusic #Hot100
