Top 20 ABBA songs Countdown
 

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.

good one Alf :)


ABBA are still as of this day being strong influences for other pop artists


this one is from Estonia, Evelin Samuel



very strong ABBA sound in this song

superb songs already

So, there you go.

Dancing Queen was ROBBED

Imagine how Fernando feels.

I would have put Dancing Queen at No1as well other than that good placings

Below is the list based on Sales

This thread is about ABBA not your niche little Baltic artist, delete this post now

5,7,12,17 shouldn’t be in this top 20 and I don’t agree with 1

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

That 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.
