Actually, in those days, Agnetha's butt was talked about internationally as 
"the finest butt in the world".
Even if American fame eluded ABBA (they had a #1, with "Dancing queen", 
though), the group was enormously successful in Europe and other parts of 
the planet, especially Australia; the feature film "Muriel's wedding", which 
was quite amusing and was a "sleeper" hit some six or seven years ago, 
capitalizes on this ABBA hysteria on that continent.
Noone should try to minimalize the commercial impact of the "Mamma Mia" 
musical. It has been a hit in many, many big cities - including American 
ones. I remember that when it opened in NYC shortly after the 9/11, it was 
hailed by one major Manhattan critic with words like "at this time, this is 
exactly what we need to be cheered up". Haven't seen it myself, but it is 
reputead to be thin story-wise but funny in a corny way.
I also think that the greatest hits albums from the late 90's finally gave 
ABBA their long-awaited breakthrough in the U.S.
