Page "Disco" Paragraph 51

By far the most successful Euro disco act was ABBA.

This Swedish quartet — with such hits as " Waterloo " ( 1974 ), " Fernando " ( 1976 ), " Take a Chance on Me " ( 1978 ), and their signature smash " Dancing Queen " ( 1976 )— ranks as the eighth best-selling act of all time.

Other prominent European pop and disco groups were Luv ' from the Netherlands and Boney M, a group of four West Indian singers and dancers masterminded by West German record producer Frank Farian.

Boney M charted worldwide hits with such songs as " Daddy Cool ", " Ma Baker " and " Rivers of Babylon ".
