ABBA’s Björn Ulvaeus Launches 'Björn from ABBA and Friends’ Radio Show on Apple Music Hits

Award-winning singer, songwriter, producer and ABBA founding member Björn Ulvaeus today launches 'Björn from ABBA and Friends’ on the Apple Music Hits global radio station. Björn is the latest artist to join the award-winning Apple Music radio lineup which includes shows hosted by The Weeknd, Elton John, Shania Twain, Mark Hoppus, J Balvin, and many more. This new four-part series features conversations with friends, collaborators, and artists about all things ABBA. 

The inaugural episode of 'Björn from ABBA and Friends’ features special guest Nile Rodgers, who joins Björn to share stories and discuss songwriting secrets, ABBA’s enduring influence, and the keys to their success and undeniable catalog. Additional guests include playwright Catherine Johnson, who penned the book of the stage musical and first film adaptation ‘Mama Mia!’, and creative director for the forthcoming ABBA Voyage concerts, Johan Renck. 

"I’m excited to be bringing the show to Apple Music Hits because I have long wanted to ask some emotionally intelligent as well as intellectual people who know about ABBA about why they think our songs have lasted for such a long time — almost 40 years — because I don’t understand it myself,” said Björn. "Sometimes when I see the number of albums we’ve sold — which they say is around almost 400 million — I can intellectually grasp that, but emotionally I never have been able to because I don’t know why all this happened. I just know that we wrote our songs as best we could, and then recorded them as best as we could, and that was it. What happened afterwards was a phenomenon that I never quite understood. But maybe my guests here on this series will help me to understand it. Maybe they have some input that that I’ve waited for for so long. I’ve talked to several people about this already of course, but no one has come up with a really good answer, so I think that is in essence is what this this series is about. It’s about finally getting some questions that I’ve had for a long time answered".

Listen to Björn from ABBA and Friends every day this week at 12:00p PST on Apple Music Hits or binge the full series anytime on-demand with an Apple Music subscription at apple.co/_ABBARadio.

The Six Pack podcast celebrates 50th episode

The Six Pack, a gay radio show and podcast created by Ben Harvey and Dave Rubin (below left), announced today that it is celebrating its 50th episode, featuring special guest Margaret Cho. Ben and Dave are capitalizing on the runaway success of the top-ranked podcast with the Six Packin’ Across America tour that will kick off in September on the west coast.

The Six Pack, recorded at Sirius XM studios in New York City, is a show about what it means to be gay today, featuring a mix of celebrity interviews, news, music and pop culture segments.

Since launching just over a year ago, The Six Pack has grown tremendously in both listenership and influence, with press mentions in New York Magazine, Entertainment Weekly, and Metrosource Magazine. Guests have included Congressman Barney Frank, 'The View's' Joy Behar, CNN's Soledad O'Brien, Bravo's Andy Cohen and Bethenny Frankel, and comedians Sandra Bernhard and Jackie Mason.

"In just over a year The Six Pack has grown from an independent podcast to a full-on radio show and web site with an international audience,” said Ben Harvey, who grew up in Philadelphia and earned his on-air stripes at Howard Stern’s flagship radio station K-Rock. “We're just two guys living in New York who are doing our best to decipher what it means to be gay in 2010. That resonates with a lot of people out there, including advertisers who have begun to see us as a new mouthpiece to the gay market."

“By just talking about the things we care about, and to people we're interested in, we've really hit on something that's been sorely lacking in the gay media,” said Dave Rubin, a comedian from Long Island who has appeared on 'The Joy Behar Show.' “50 episodes in and we have listeners from literally around the world. We even got an email from a guy in Iran, even though Ahmadinejad says there are no gay people there. I mean that's really something."
