ABBA may reunite for 40th anniversary

Our more senior readers may want to look away from this next fact but...it's been 40 years since ABBA first charged into the world's collective pop consciousness  with "Waterloo" and that has the earworm-loving foursome considering a reunion.

The group - who had a string of hits throughout the '70s with songs like "Fernando" and "S.O.S." - officially parted ways in 1982 after the two marriages at the center of the group dissolved. Now, Agnetha Faltskog, who has been considered the most vocal opponent of a reunion, is saying that a reunion may be in the cards.

"Of course it's something we're thinking about," she told German paper Welt Am Sonntag. "There seem to be plans to do something to mark this anniversary in some way. I can't say at this point what will come of them."

In 2008, the men of the group (Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson) said that a reunion would never happen. Bjorn's reasoning seemed to be that he wanted the world to remember ABBA as they were in 1972.

What's changed since then? Well, Mamma Mia! was released to theaters and I like to think they are forming to repair the immense damage that Pierce Brosnan did to their catalog.
