Hot Swedish Action: For spelling ABBA on the game results screen
(+1 to anyone that knows who ABBA is)

Easiest way to get this achievement:
Play: 2 player Checkpoint battle (easiest if you have 2 turntables, but can also be done on-line)
Mix: Snow - Informer vs. The Jackson 5 - ABC
Difficulty - Any that you feel comfortable with and can do well on.
(I did this on Expert, My little brother did it on Medium)
*Will not work on Easy as there are no cross fades on Easy


Player 1 should do NOTHING at all for the first 2 checkpoints. Once the 2nd checkpoint has passed, play the rest of the song as well as possible, You should get an 'ABBA' rating at the end of the mix. And of course the achievement!
Player 2 really doesn't have to do anything. Have your girlfriend or wife try playing :)

I got this achievement first try using this method.

Getting ABBA (A for Scratching, a B for Taps, a B for Crossfading and an A for Freestyling) is probably a bit trickier for someone having only one controller at one's disposal than having battle with two controllers on Snow - Informer vs. The Jackson 5 - ABC.

I used this comment as my guideline for doing this achievement with one controller:

Just to make this tip more exact...My stats were the following when I achieved Hot Swedish Action in the battle with Kid Itch (Empire Mode / London):

Result: Draw
Difficulty: Medium
Checkpoints Won: 7
Hits: 69%
Total Hits: 177 / 253
Freestyle Sections Hit: 13 / 13
Freestyle Sample Sections Hit: 6 / 6
Freestyle Crossfade Sections Hit: 7 / 7

I hope this makes aiming for the A,B,B,A-result more easier.

Concentrate on getting A's on scratches and freestyles. Remember you can ignore everything else over these. Getting enough non-freestyle crossfades and taps shouldn't be a problem with this mix and difficulty. More likely you get them too much and get A's on them (especially crossfades)... so hold your horses with these.

If you don't get it right on your first try, view your stats after the battle to see what you need to adjust on your next try.

Should take few tries at most this one to pop. Took me four tries.

This achievement is called 'Hot Swedish Action'.

The criteria for unlocking it is a touch confusing, at first, but once you commit it to memory, you'll able to try for it during play.

Now, there are a couple of ways you can go about this - it might require taking a few dives in online play to attempt to lower the standard of your taps and crossfades. But I personally just did this in two player Battle, with a second turntable.

So if you've got a second peripheral handy, you won't be forced to drop any games in attempting this.

The hardest part of this is getting the A in Freestyling, I do believe. I get confused as to what falls under freestyling so my methodology basically saw me using the effects at any opportunity, and basically going ballistic during the freestyle sections - it's going to take some luck, that I can assure you.

And special thanks to turlanator for this fine tip:

Good luck, see you in Waterloo.
