Blue Swede – Hooked On A Feeling

50th Anniversary for the first Swedish #1 single in the US

The ”Swedish music wonder” has a birth date.

It was on April 6 1974 that Blue Swede hit #1 on the US Billboard chart, with their Bengt Palmers-produced version of ”Hooked on a Feeling”. On the very same day, ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest in Brighton with their ”Waterloo”. Just like ABBA’s music, ”Hooked on a Feeling” has continued to conquer the world. At the time of writing this (March 2024), Blue Swede’s version has been streamed around 650 million times on Spotify.
