Agnetha Faltskog
Agnetha is more famous because she was a member of ABBA rather than as a solo singer in Sweden. ABBA was one of the most popular pop bands ever, both commercially and globally. At the age of 15, she quit school to explore a career in music after which she began singing with Bernt Enghardt's band and attracted a fan following. She secured a recording deal through Enghardt and her debut album charted in Sweden. Bjornulvaeus later married as her boyfriend, was also in the mix and she was a part of ABBA. ABBA continued to become one of the most popular group of pop in the world over the course of eight years. They took home numerous awards that included gold and platinum throughout the world. After ABBA they released three albums "Wrap Your Arms Around Me', Eyes of a Woman' And I Stand Alone'. They were all hugely popular in Sweden. The band were also popular throughout Europe. But they never made a big impact on the American scene. ABBA music became the basis for a jukebox show called Mamma Mia!. She came out of retirement to record her first album 'My Coloring Book' which peaked at 11 for the U.K. chart. Her most recent album "A," has been well-received.
