ABBA could reunite following Sweden’s success in Eurovision
ABBA could finally be set to reunite after Sweden triumphed at Eurovision.
Loreen set up the possibility by becoming the first woman to win Eurovision twice — while the UK’s Mae Muller finished second from bottom.
Sweden’s success means the event will be staged in ABBA’s homeland next year — on the 50th anniversary of their win with Waterloo.
Fans reckon it would be the perfect time to see Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad on the song contest’s stage again.
ABBA had 19 UK Top Ten hits after their Eurovision win, including Mamma Mia and Dancing Queen.
A source said yesterday: “After Sweden won, people are going to be putting their Money, Money, Money on an ABBA reunion.
“They won Eurovision in Brighton in April 1974 and next year will be the 50th anniversary of that.
“Even if it’s their ABBA-tars performing a hologram show, fans are desperate for it.”
A peak of 11 million people tuned in to see BBC coverage of this year’s contest.
An average of 9.9 million watched the whole four-hour special.

Liverpool hosted the event for last year’s winners Ukraine due to the war.
Loreen, 39, amassed 583 points with her song Tattoo — ahead of second-placed Finland on 526.
She previously won in 2012 in Baku, Azerbaijan, with Euphoria.
Mae, 25, was unable to replicate the success of the UK’s Sam Ryder — who came second last year — with her track I Wrote A Song.
It received just 24 points.
Yesterday she tweeted: “I know I joke a lot but we really put our all into the last few months.
“Not the result we hoped for but so proud of everyone and what we achieved on this journey.”
She added: “Congrats to all the countries.
“I’ll never forget this journey and I love you all.”
