From Quiz ABBA

Answer: Super Trooper

'Super Trouper' was a hit for ABBA in 1980; it reached one in the UK charts and eleven in the Swedish charts. ABBA obtained their group name from their Christian names. Their names are Agnetha, Benny, Bjorn and Anni-Frid, and ABBA is an acronym of these. During their fame Agnetha and Benny were married to each other and Bjorn and Anni-Fred were married to each other. Unfortunately neither marriage lasted; one ended in 1979 and the other in 1981 and the sadness of these break-ups is reflected in some of their later song lyrics.

Answer: Four

Many people believe that ABBA was a flop in the United States, but that's not really true at all. They still managed to achieve a large amount of success; it just didn't look so large compared to their phenomenal success elsewhere. The four top ten hits were "Waterloo" (no. six), "Dancing Queen" (their first and last US no. one), "Take a Chance on Me" (no. three) and "The Winner Takes it All" (no. eight).
