Madonna 100% obviously. I love ABBA, they're like founders of pop music like we know it today, but Madonna's collection of hits is untoppable. Like a Prayer, Hung Up (of course thanks to ABBA), Vogue, Papa Don't Preach, Music, Holiday, Express Yourself, Like a Virgin, Into The Groove..  they're all legendary. (ABBA is legendary too, but some of their songs are not that known by the GP, like if you play The Name Of The Game people won't know it's ABBA, but if you play Like a Virgin, it's obviously Madonna)

Like a prayer is probably Madonna's biggest song as regards recognition but I totally disagree with u. Compare like a prayer to mama Mia or I have a dream and see which one gets more recognition with the GP

Also I want to add that Madonna like Gaga is bigger than her hits, yes u will recognize their songs but their brands are bigger than any of their hits because their impact is on pop culture as a whole unlike someone like brick and lace or akon, u know them because of their songs and almost nothing else. I don't know if it makes sense. I perceive that people bring a brand into their hits but I will like to clear that a brand is way bigger than their hits although their hits make em. 'As regards music tho'

Madonna has revealed that she wrote a letter to the members of ABBA begging to use their music on one of her tracks.

Speaking to Attitude magazine, Madonna said: "I had to send my emissary to Stockholm with a letter and the record begging them and imploring them and telling them how much I worship their music, telling them it was an homage to them, which is all true.

"And they had to think about it, Benny and Bjorn. They didn't say yes straight away. They never let anyone sample their music. They could have said no. Thank God they didn't.”

Madonna herself is a fan and literally begged them to use their music.

10 / 8 ABBA wins

Being a real Eurovision stan and a disco lover, ABBA is just unbeatable for me. But I also absolutely adore Madonna, especially in her true blue phase (where the hell is true blue btw). This explains the close call I guess.

ABBA = 10

Madonna = 7

Those who say ABBA are not legends, they are deluded.

ABBA is a Legendary band, they are the Pioneers of Pop. Their melodies are known worldwide and they influenced pop music to this day. They are Royalty :worship2:

i agree. madge sampled them and directly referenced them. highest form of flattery, as she likes to put it.
