Honestly, I don't think they had to bribe anyone. I think they just basically had to lead with "you know it's ABBA's 50th anniversary next year, wouldn't it be amazing for Eurovision if Sweden won?" I think they individually just chose Sweden: because the song was good, even if not "best," and it wasn't a hardship to choose it for the delayed gratification spectacle of it all.

If that were the case, wouldn't have been better to make ABBA to represent Sweden or make Swedish artist play a cover than... that?

ABBA is an amazing group and all, but I doubt they would have let anybody use their name for bribe Eurovision.

NAYRT

Sweden, like meny Eurovision participants, hosts a competition to choose its entry. No doubt if Abba competed in Melodifestivalen, they'd have a good chance of winning, but I don't know how anyone could make them compete if they have no interest in doing so. Also, a cover would be disqualified before it even made it to the Eurovision stage, as the entry must be an original song, and it cannot be commercially released prior to a certain date, usually set about 8-9 months before the competition.
