- ABBA songs guaranteed to get everyone on the dance floor

2. Mamma Mia gave its title to the smash hit West End show — an exuberant song about an irresistible love rat.

4. Gimme, Gimme, Gimme sends single women racing to the dance floor to belt out their appeal for a man after midnight.
5. SOS only made it to number six in the British charts, but its catchy chorus made it an ABBA favourite.
6. Knowing Me, Knowing You is the soundtrack to a painful break-up, or to recovering from one by dusting off old dancing shoes.
7. Thank You for the Music is the single that makes people put their arms round strangers, start to sway and sing with their eyes closed.
8. Take a Chance on Me is Elton John's favourite ABBA hit, the perfect song to eye up strangers across the dance floor.
9. Fernando is more of a ballad than a dance song, but one of the group's most successful and best-loved hits.
10. The Winner Takes it All has some of ABBA's most bitter lyrics about being a loser in love, rumoured to be inspired by the divorce of Agnetha and Björn.
