...and it is not because ABBA is the greatest pop/rock group of all time. That is obvious.
However, let's harken back to 1982. For that year, the #1 song of the year was "Physical" by Olivia Newton John. The #1 song at my (all male Catholic) high school was "Centerfold" by the J. Geils Band.
My number #1 song for 1982 is one of which the vast majority of people have never heard. The singers are, for the most part (especially in the U.S.) unknown. The music production in the song isn't the greatest. The lyrics are not too deep. However, the strength of the tune (of which the vast majority of people should be familiar) is the glue that brings numerous weak features together in a manner that makes the song work.
