Abba would hit #1 on this day in 1980 with “Super Trouper.” It was their 9th #1 hit, and it would go on to be their last #1 hit in the UK. While Abba’s songs don’t necessarily play into the feel we keep at Totally 80’s, it cannot be denied that this is a great song. Did you know that they named the song “Super Trouper” regarding the gigantic spotlights used in their stadium concerts? If you’ve ever seen the video, it probably wasn’t hard to figure out (or, you know, listened to the lyrics).
Enjoy!
