I’m from America and most Americans do not realize just how popular Abba are/were in every other country in the world! Abba were never as popular in the states because they didn’t tour here in the 70s. They didn’t tour because, while they were having endless number one hits throughout the world, American radio just would not play them until just before they broke up. Yes, Abba are/were as popular as Queen and everywhere in the world (except USA) people know this. In 2000, Abba were offered ONE BILLION dollars to do ONE SHOW. They turned it down because they don’t need the money and 2 members can’t stand the other 2 members…lol Abba being as popular as Queen doesn’t take anything away from Queen. It’s quiet alright to love them both. 
So No this was not a stupid question. Just some unknowledgable Americans who don’t know their music history. So maybe they’ll look it up now and get the facts instead of being ’self-centered and thinking the whole world evolves around the USA…lol I’m American and proud but GEEZ, I know there are other countries. Other bands. Just because something’s not popular here, doesn’t mean it’s not popular somewhere else. That’s just ignorant thinking but maybe… oops… sorry… didn’t mean to rant ;P
