ABBA
ABBA recorded ‘Mamma Mia’ at Metronome Studio in Stockholm, Sweden on this day in music history!
And did you know - IT WAS NEVER INTENDED TO BE RELEASED AS A SINGLE!?
It was the final track recorded for ABBA’s self-titled 3rd album.
RCA, asked that the song, Mamma Mia, be released as a single but Polar Music refused - at first.
The rest is history, as they say! Mamma Mia went on to become a #1 hit song around the world.
