I'm not surprised ABBA are top of the charts with their two new songs, which someone told me yesterday.
Just now I read ABBA 20 years ago was offered money by a british-american consortium for making 200 concerts (during 1-2 years perhaps?). 9.000.000.000 to be precise ...
🤯
They refused. They weren't up for it. I wonder what this adventure will give.

Anyone who has an interest in ABBA but have no album, should look for "The Definite Collection" (which includes all the singles released in the UK) or "The Essential Collection" I guess. These two are very similar and above 2.5 hours long.
The new album Voyage will be released in November 2021. One soft pack cd edition contains 9 songs and one other soft pack cd edition contains 10 songs and comes with another art work. I just saw the price is the same.

I wouldn't go as far as nauseous but it was on that duller side that Abba have which ran alongside the absolute brilliance. It nowhere near the same page as Name of the game, Knowing me knowing you, SOS and the like. I've only heard one of the new songs and it sounds like another song for the musicals.

Not really a fan, but some good songs over the years. Prefer some of the minor hits myself. Thing is, they were from another time and their songs cover 10 years when I was growing up, so some good memories crop up when I hear their songs if nothing else. I think the one quality about them was whole families liked them back in the day and not many bands have done that. Personally I think sleeping dogs should’ve been left to lie. But Hey Ho they’re not doing any harm and sure some people will be delighted about the new stuff coming out so fair play to them. I think to call them shite is a bit harsh, but it’s all about opinions I guess.

The sound of ABBA is of course built to a large extent on the voices.
Guitarist Brian May once explained Queen used to record 17 tracks of Freddie Mercury's voice to make it sound more powerful. And this is exactly what ABBA did as well, lots and lots of parallel re-takes. And it definitely worked out successfully.
Personally, I don't have any ABBA absolute favourite songs I want to hear over and over again. I just think there are 15-20 ok songs.
But if I was forced to mention a few, they probably would be:
Ring ring Waterloo Dancing queen S.O.S. The winner takes it all (for the melody)

Abba were far from just a singles band, here's a track from there last album and it's the only solo vocal song they recorded.
