ABBA charts three albums and four singles on multiple U.K. rankings, with ABBA – The Singles … More
In the United Kingdom, it’s not unusual for more than one project dedicated to ABBA’s biggest singles to find space on the albums chart. While it’s common for artists with older hits to keep a compilation on weekly rankings, earning several such titles charting at once is rare. Typically, one such collection of smash singles is enough, as the public continues to head to platforms like Spotify and Apple Music to hear the tunes it loves from a musical act.
ABBA stands out in this regard. It’s not uncommon for the Swedish pop band to secure multiple placements at once with decades-old albums and newer compilations, and this week, the musicians do it again as they score another charting win.
ABBA – The Singles Debuts on Multiple Charts
ABBA – The Singles debuts on two tallies in the U.K. The compilation opens at No. 48 on the Official Physical Albums chart and No. 59 on the Official Albums Sales roster. The group has now landed 22 placements on the ranking that looks only at physical products like CDs, cassettes, and vinyl, and 18 appearances on the general list of the top-selling titles in the country, including this latest arrival.
ABBA’s Gold Rises Again
Gold: Greatest Hits — another one of ABBA’s hugely successful compilations — joins ABBA – The Singles on the Official Albums Sales chart, while also finding space on several other tallies. Gold, one of the longest-running and longest-charting titles in U.K. history, rises to No. 13 on the Official Albums list. At the same time, it appears on both the Official Albums Streaming and Official Album Downloads rosters.
ABBA’s Trio of Charting Albums
ABBA scores a third successful title as its 1975 third full-length, a self-titled affair, reenters a trio of tallies. ABBA breaks back onto the Official Vinyl Albums, Official Physical Albums, and Official Albums Sales charts at Nos. 22, 45, and 51, respectively, following a special vinyl re-release.
ABBA’s Multiple Hit Songs
The Swedish superstars land a trio of popular albums in the U.K. at the moment, but even more hit songs. Four of the group’s beloved singles, all from the band’s self-titled album, debut across a variety of charts after being re-released on vinyl alongside the full-length itself. “Mamma Mia,” “So Long,” “SOS,” and “I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do” all appear on a trio of tallies and even manage to start inside the top 10 on most of them.
