ABBA’s Bjorn Ulvaeus Talks Reunion, New Album, Writing ‘The Winner Takes It All’ and More
Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorIn the decades after ABBA — one of the most popular and influential groups in the history of the world — announced their breakup in 1983, journalists grew so tired of receiving the same skeptical answers about the group reuniting that they largely stopped asking. Which made it all the more surprising in 2018 when the group’s co-founders, Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, confirmed that they had reunited with singers (and ex-wives) Agentha Falkskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad and recorded two new songs and were preparing some kind of virtual concert experience.

ABBA’s Bjorn Ulvaeus Talks CISAC Report and the ‘Immoral’ Treatment of Songwriters by the Music Industry
Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorIn an understated, very Swedish way, ABBA co-founder and CISAC president Bjorn Ulvaeus is apoplectic.We’re talking about the soaring value of song catalogs — a boom that has seen Bob Dylan sell his catalog for nearly $400 million, and Hipgnosis Songs spending more than $2 billion on acquisitions in just over three years, with another billion-plus on tap. And yet throughout the industry, the songwriter is at the proverbial bottom of the financial totem pole.“It’s immoral!,” Ulvaeus exclaims.

CISAC Reports 10.7% Drop in 2020 Global Music Royalty Collections Due to Pandemic
Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorGlobal royalties collections for music creators dropped 10.7% during 2020 due to the pandemic, declining by nearly €1 billion (approximately $1.16 billion) to a pre-2017 level of €8.12 billion (approximately $9.3 billion), according to the 2020 Global Collections Report published Wednesday by CISAC, the International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers.The collections were a setback after years of consecutive growth — including an 8% boost in 2019 to €9.17 billion— but under the daunting circumstances of the pandemic, which saw collections from live entertainment, bars, restaurants and other establishments plummet precipitously, most parties agree that the loss could have been a lot worse.

'I've found the best smelling coconut body mist– it's £37 but could be a designer perfume'
Growing up as a girl in the late nineties and early noughties, I was exposed to an era of dreadful body sprays.The memory of harsh or overly sweet mists dominating classrooms and school discos was enough for me to abandon them as soon as I could afford to switch to nicer perfumes. I never imagined I'd be pleased to see the day when body mists made a comeback, but they have indeed made a comeback this year. I believe Sol de Janeiro and its range of elegant sprays are largely responsible for making body mists the ultimate handbag accessory that everyone craves.
