Issue number #22 of the ABBA magazine was published in March 1980 - following on from the previous issue the majority of the content was a review of the concerts in London at the end of 1979.

The highlights mentioned included Frida performing "Why Did It Have To Be Me", Agnetha's solo "I'm Still Alive" (which Bjorn told the crowd would be included on the next Abba album) and "The Way Old Friends Do".

The magazine also continued the Abba story in comic book format focusing on the group wining the Eurovision with "Waterloo" which is quite timely with all of the 40th Anniversary celebrations taking place this week.
