ABBA, the third album by the band of the same name, was first released in 1975 (see 1975 in music).

Following the Eurovision success of Waterloo, ABBA saw the band gaining worldwide recognition. "I Do, I Do, I Do" topped the charts in Australia, as did "Mamma Mia" shortly thereafter. The latter also did well in Europe, while "S.O.S." became a hit in the US and UK.
