The new compilation is an expanded version of ABBA’s 1982 best-of compendium, The Singles – The First Ten Years. Of course, the album features all of the group’s biggest hits and best-known tunes. They include “Waterloo,” “I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do,” “SOS,” “Mamma Mia,” “Fernando,” “Dancing Queen,” “Knowing Me, Knowing You,” “The Name of the Game,” “Take a Chance on Me,” “Chiquitita,” “Does Your Mother Know,” and “The Winner Takes It All.”

The Singles – The First Fifty Years also includes four tracks that weren’t released as A-sides by the Polar Music label, although they were issued as singles in some countries. These songs are “Hasta Mañana,” “Angeleyes,” “Lay All Your Love on Me” and “When All Is Said And Done.” The compilation will come packaged with an illustrated booklet featuring liner notes by Carl Magnus Palm, a Swedish author who has penned a number of books focusing on the band.

More About ABBA

ABBA was formed in 1972 by Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad. Throughout the 1970s and until their 1982 breakup, the band was among the most successful pop acts on the planet.

In 2021, ABBA released its first new album in almost 40 years, The Voyage. The arrival of the record coincided with the debut of a hugely popular theatrical concert experience in London called ABBA Voyage that features digital avatars of the band members performing the group’s music. ABBA Voyage currently is booked through May 2025 in London.

Rumor has it the show will eventually make its way to the U.S.
