On this day in music history…
In 1977, ABBA scored their first number 1 hit in the U.S. with “Dancing Queen.” The song also topped the charts in the group’s native Sweden, the U.K., and over 15 other countries.
In 2018, Fleetwood Mac issued a statement revealing that Lindsey Buckingham would not be joining them on their upcoming tour. Buckingham had been fired by the band and replaced by two new members: Crowded House frontman Neil Finn and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell. The new lineup would make a live appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show later that September.
