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.
