The song When I Kissed the Teacher remains a favorite for critics in a catalog of smashes by one of the best-selling artists of all time, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and GRAMMY Hall of Fame inductees ABBA. The Telegraph lists the song as one of ABBA’s hidden gems, offering it as an alternative to “Waterloo. The Los Angeles Times said ‘When I Kissed the Teacher’ is the most convincing thing ABBA has done because it injects some sly, mocking humor and passion that offsets the group seriousness.”
MAMMA MIA! HERE WE GO AGAIN will see Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth and Julie Walters reprising their roles from MAMMA MIA! The Movie. Christine Baranski, Stellan Skarsg, Dominic Cooper, Jeremy Irvine, Hugh Skinner, Josh Dylan, Jessica Keenan Wynn and Alexa Davies complete the cast.

There have been 406 million combined streams of MAMMA MIA! The Movie Soundtrack. ABBA are one of the most successful pop groups of all time. The Swedish quartet have sold over 385 million albums worldwide, and their songs have been streamed over 2.8 billion times.
