Under Attack, bewilderingly. Never a highlight and they all sounded jaded, worn out and sick of each otherDidn’t they call out Summer Night City in that interview? Actually I can’t remember what they said, I thought they said it should’ve been bigger?
NO WAIT was it Under Attack?

I think they also mentioned The King Has Lost His Crown bizarrely.Didn’t they call out Summer Night City in that interview? Actually I can’t remember what they said, I thought they said it should’ve been bigger?

I think it's amazing and one of my favourites. Those criss-crossing harmonies are just spectacular.Under Attack is C list Abba to these ears.
Absolutely. It’s way too early for me to declare it up there with the best as I’m still a bit hysterical from all of this, but it really does sit seamlessly next to my favourites and not stand out as being less good.Don't Shut Me Down quickly solidifying itself as a god-tier ABBA track and it's even going to have the chart positions to "back it up".
NATURE IS HEALING.

THANK YOUUnder Attack is one of their BEST The PRODUCTION LAYERS!
THANK YOU!Under Attack is C list Abba to these ears.
Ah - that makes sense. It looks like the split occurred in 1975.Back to the 'why didn't Abba have more Swedish #1 singles?' question, Mr L has just said to me that the Swedish album and singles chart were combined for a long while - so the Waterloo album held the Swedish version of Waterloo at #2, and the English version at #3.
What a TERRIBLE SYSTEM
I note Arrival and Voulez Vous also recharted. Gold is no.5.

What happened?...and SOS was a solo Agnetha track, although neither that or the (slightly compromised) concept parent album were as successful as Frida.
WikipediaWhat happened?
Ooh! Abandoned concept queenWikipedia
The original album design was very different from the eventual release. Fältskog and Carlgren originally planned to call the album "Tolv kvinnor i ett hus" (Twelve Women In A House) with each song on the album describing twelve different characters, all women leading very different lives, but all living in the same house. The package would have included a gatefold sleeve with artwork by Carlgren picturing the twelve fictitious women as well as several photos of Fältskog herself, but due to the success of ABBA the singer had less time to write and record her own songs. At one point it seemed uncertain that the album would ever be finished which led to the record company cutting the production budget, which in turn meant that it was impossible to release it with the lavish gatefold sleeve and accompanying artwork. In the end there were only ten songs written by Fältskog, coupled with the opening track "S.O.S.", a song that neither fit nor was included in the original concept.
How entertainingly bizarre to combine singles and albums in ONE CHART!
And there’s nothing to be said for THATWell we now have single and album tracks in the one chart...
8,623 sales for Gold, but also a further 1,444 for the Gold Anniversary Edition which charts separately at #72. That's the version repackaged as 3 CDs, with More Gold and a CD of B-sides. But if Queen are allowed to count that Platinum Collection towards Greatest Hits, I don't see why Abba can't add the Anniversary Edition to Gold's sales.I note Arrival and Voulez Vous also recharted. Gold is no.5.
There's no way that's NOT happening in some format. Just a question of when, and I assume it won't be while Voyage is still selling.or a repackage with the Voyage tracks next year
mainly based on songs played on repeat in hair salons by stylists whose brains have been torn out by extensions
I was thinking the very same, and then I realised that's exactly how the album chart is formulated now.What a TERRIBLE SYSTEM
