I Am A Swede

R.I.P. Stephen Sondheim

She sets a new sales record for this year in the UK with 261.000 copies sold of "30" in the first week, but is nowhere near the 800.000 copies that "25" sold in its first week..... Adele: 30 becomes 2021's fastest-selling album despite sales drop

R.I.P. Mr. Sondheim. To call him a legend or icon seems insufficient somehow. I first became aware of him through Barbra Streisand's "The Broadway Album" more than 35 years ago. I still think this is one of the most beautiful theater songs ever written, and this is such a beautiful rendition. A meeting of two legends....

And now they get their first Grammy nomination! https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-59388351 Abba also received their first ever Grammy nomination in the record of the year category.

Record of the year (recognising the whole recording) I Still Have Faith In You - Abba Freedom - Jon Batiste I Get A Kick Out Of You - Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga Peaches - Justin Bieber ft Daniel Caesar & Giveon Right On Time - Brandi Carlile Kiss Me More - Doja Cat ft Sza Happier Than Ever - Billie Eilish Montero (Call Me By Your Name) - Lil Nas X Drivers License - Olivia Rodrigo Leave The Door Open - Silk Sonic

I hate when that happens.....

ABBA scores their tenth #1 album in the UK with "Voyage" And as icing on the cake "ABBA Gold" climbs back up to #9 after 1019 (!) weeks in the charts! Edit: "Voyage" has also hit #1 in Australia, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Ireland, Norway and Sweden

I wonder if Bill Bell (who was still writing the show at that time) had planned for Brooke to become pregnant so soon into her relationship with Eric or if he changed the story when KKL became pregnant in real life.

^^ Why are they disparaging it? I found it a very good interview, and after reading it I have a new understanding of the casting for this film.
