Top 20 ABBA songs Countdown

[Alf]

I had a request to do an ABBA countdown, so here it is

I've never listened to an ABBA album apart from a greatest hits one, so my choices will be from their most popular classics, but if anyone wants to post me a song that should have been in which is a bit of a lesser known song then that would be most welcome.

Super Trouper was the best selling album of 1980

‘Fernando’ was lifted from the Greatest Hits album in 1976, and this album was the 2nd best selling of the entire 70s. Add the sales for that in (6+ million) as most people bought it for that song, and Fernando would be higher

Chiquita was their highest chart debut at 8

5,7,12,17 shouldn’t be in this top 20 and I don’t agree with 1That would mean 4 songs would need to replace them. What are those 4 songs?

I do agree with number 1 and I get the final say.
