Question

This band bashed out more pop anthems than you've had hot dinners (probably). Which of these hits won them the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974?

Answer 1

The Eurovision Song Contest (French:Concours Eurovision de la chanson since 1973;[1] sometimes popularly calledEurovision or Grand Prix but not to be confused with the Eurovision network that broadcasts it) is the longest-running annual international TV song competition,[2] held, primarily, among the member countries of theEuropean Broadcasting Union (EBU) since 1956. The competition was based upon the existing Sanremo Music Festival held in Italy since 1951.

Answer 2

The winner of the Contest was Sweden with the song "Waterloo" performed by the band ABBA, that went on to become one of the most popular recording acts of all time. ABBA are among the Eurovision winners to achieve international superstar status in 1974.
