ABBA
***********
In February they turned down a staggering BILLION-dollar offer from an American-British consortium to reunite for a 100-concert tour."It's only pocket money, isn't it?" laughs Bjorn."When we understood the scope of the whole thing and what it would mean to our lives, it was easy to say no".After two divorces, they've clearly learned that superstardom does have its price.

On February 2, 2000, `ABBA` turned down an offer worth $1 billion to get together again after 17 years. The offer came from an American-British consortium which wanted ABBA to reunite for 100 concerts to cash in on the current international revival of the catchy songs that brought the group fame and fortune.
"It is a hell of a lot of money to say no to, but we decided it wasn't for us", Benny Andersson told the Swedish tabloid Aftonbladet. "We have never made a comeback. Almost everyone else has. I think there is a message in that".

ABBA
ABBA is the most successful popular music group ever to come out of Scandinavia, and ranks amongst the top acts in the history of popular music. The quartet topped worldwide charts from the mid 1970s to the early 1980s. They remain a fixture of radio playlists and continue to sell albums. The group has sold more than 300 million records, all but one being self-penned.
In 2000 ABBA were reported to have turned down an offer of approximately $1,000,000,000 (one billion American dollars) to do a reunion tour.

ABBA were a great little band. Pop at its finest. I'd sell my soul for tickets to any reunion concert, should they ever get their collective heads out of their own arses.
