50 years ago today Mamma Mia was first broadcast on Countdown (nationally-broadcast weekly music show on Australian TV), leading to the song being released as a single and launching ABBA-mania.

2025 marks the 50th anniversary of ABBA’s first official compilation album, GREATEST HITS. But back in 1975 it wasn’t a worldwide release. Over the next 50 weeks we’ll be sharing a selection of 50 of those albums on Instagram instagram.com/abbaomnibus

Though I liked the randomness of the scoring; you literally didn't know how many points would be awarded to the next act. #eurovision #abba50
Ring Ring just scraped into the Top 40 but back in the 70s it was the Top 30 that was important. (The Top 40 was mainly an 80s/later thing.) The follow up 'So Long' bombed completely. #eurovision #abba50
Yes it was like the 1973 Cliff Richard entry put into a blender with a new vocalist. A poor showing though given what's to follow was just as well. #eurovision #abba50
Abba tried to follow up Waterloo in the UK with their failed 1973 effort.Combine that with this lacklustre appearance on the Tommy Cooper Hour with the Teddington kazoo orchestra and you can see why it didn't bother the UK charts. Number 12 in Rhodesia though! www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3iS... #Abba50
That was like the good old days of Twitter. Good work, everyone. 👏🏻

Michael Hurll away! #eurovision #ABBA50
Michael Hurll produced this as well! #eurovision #abba50
I love the way they've turned this into a 70s BBC light entertainment spectacular #eurovision #abba50
Well that was fantastique. See you all in 50 years. #eurovision #ABBA50
Was this actually broadcast with this interpreter screwup at the time, or is it some weirdness with the copy the BBC archived? #Eurovision #Abba50
THAT. WAS. FUCKING *GLORIOUS*.

No wonder the French pulled out, if there was a song called ‘Waterloo’.
Bad memories, man.

ABBA had the modern presentation, the production and the enthusiasm to win this #eurovision #abba50
For #DoctorWho fans - it was Charles Curran who we just saw that apologised to Mary Whitehouse for the ending of "The Deadly Assassin" part 3 #Eurovision #Abba50
And thus pop music changed. #eurovision #abba50
🎶 I feel like I win when I lose 🎶
Gonna have to change that lyric now.
