The members of ABBA participated in Melodifestivalen individually before joining up as a group in 1973.
In 1969, Anni-Frid Lyngstad competed as a solo artist with the song "Härlig Är Vår Jord." She ended up placing fourth overall.
In 1972, Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson competed as a duo of songwriters. The song they wrote, "Säg Det Med En Sång," for Lena Andersson finished third.
