Björn Kristian Ulvaeus, parfois orthographié Ulvæus, (né le 25 avril 1945 à Göteborg, Suède) est à la fois guitariste, chanteur, compositeur de chansons, parolier et producteur. Il est surtout connu pour avoir été un membre du groupe suédois ABBA.

Avant de faire partie d'ABBA, il était un membre du groupe folk suédois Hootenanny Singers. Pendant leur tournée de 1966, ils rencontrent les Hep Stars sur la route et Björn devient rapidement ami avec le pianiste de la formation rock Benny Andersson. En 1969, lors d'un show télévisé Björn rencontre Agnetha Fältskog, Benny, Anni-Frid Lyngstad. Le guitariste épouse Agnetha Fältskog le 6 juillet 1971 puis divorce en 1979, ce qui lui inspirera l'écriture de la chanson The Winner Takes It All interprétée par Agnetha. Il se remarie avec Lena Källersjö le 5 janvier 1981.

Il est le père de Linda et Christian Ulvaeus qu'il a eu avec Agnetha, et de Emma et Anna Ulvaeus (avec son épouse Lena).

Après ABBA, Björn Ulvaeus et Benny Andersson n'ont cessé de collaborer sur d'autres projets tels que les comédies musicales Chess, Kristina från Duvemåla ou Mamma Mia !. Les deux hommes ont également composés et produit les albums du duo Gemini Gemini (1985) et Geminism (1987) ainsi que l'album de Josefin Nilsson Shapes (1993).

The film has a very thin plot which is no more than a vehicle to link together the concert footage. It concerns the adventures of Ashley Wallace (Robert Hughes), a naïve DJ on Radio 2TW, who normally presents a through-the-night country and western-themed show. In spite of this, he is sent by the station's boss (Bruce Barry) to get an in-depth interview ("Not an interview, a dialogue", demands his boss) with the group, which is to be aired on the day ABBA leave Australia. Needless to say, Ashley, who has never done an interview before, singularly fails, mainly because he has forgotten to pack his press card, although the fact that he is unable to buy a ticket doesn't help matters either. Armed with his trusty reel-to-reel tape recorder, Ashley is forced to follow the group all over Australia, beginning in Sydney, and then travelling, in order, to Perth, Adelaide, and Melbourne, experiencing repeated run-ins with the group's very protective bodyguard (Tom Oliver), as well as his increasingly exasperated boss. Throughout the movie, we see Ashley interviewing members of the public, asking them if and why they like ABBA. Almost all the comments are positive, but he interviews a man who is driven mad by his ABBA-obsessed twelve-year-old, and another girl who thinks ABBA are over-the-top.
