they used to give this response :
"because English is the language of rock and pop !"
in fact ,they were urged by their manager stig anderson to do it because he believed firmly in their talent and was sure that they will break through internationally (though that never happened before to Scandinavians )
so 99 % proximally of their out put as ABBA is in English (because in solos it's different)
Yes. They sang Waterloo.
Because they can. How lucky we are that they do.
No?
Abba in fact performed in at least five languages (Swedish, English, Spanish, French and German) and had number one hits in at least three of them, which may be unprecedented. But most of their work was in English, presumably because the pop/rock form was dominated by English-language recordings and they wanted to succeed in the international market.
ABBA is a Swedish band from the 70s and 80s that speak English. The name comes from the initials of the four members of the band:Agnetha FältskogBjörn UlvaeusBenny AnderssonAnni-Frid "Frida" Lyngstad

Zara Larsson dose speak in English but sings the songs in English too, she sings the songs in English b/c the person that wrote the song wrote it in English, but she speaks Swedish b/c she lives in Sweden so everyone in Sweden speaks in Swedish so she just goes along with them and speaks Swedish too, that's why. But she dose also know how to speak in English!
