    The hostess asked Björn why the ABBA songs were still so popular after all those years. He didn't know and he said, he had asked many different people around the world about that, and nobody could tell him. Backstage she asked him if there has ever been a day since the band split up that he did *not* think about ABBA. He said, funny, he had never thought about that, but there probably wasn't a single day. Then she asked about the costumes of the 70s. No, he doesn't have any of them at home anymore. But sometimes on a weekend his wife would wish that he would put one on, he said. Then he laughed and assured that was only a joke! The interview was mixed with clips from the Definitive Collection and In Concert DVDs, shots of Frida and Björn in Stuttgart on the red carpet before the première and celebrities singing ABBA songs at the after première party.
