ABBA’s Self-Titled Album Is A Bestseller Again, 50 Years After Its Release

By the time ABBA released its self-titled third full-length in 1975, the Swedish pop band had already found great success in the United Kingdom, but that third set proved to be a game-changer.

ABBA helped the group reach new peaks on various rankings across the Atlantic and produced a slew of smash hits, some of which still rank among the outfit’s most celebrated. To honor the title’s half-century anniversary, ABBA recently re-released the collection on new formats, and it has become a bestselling title once again.

ABBA Returns to Multiple U.K. Charts

ABBA reappears on three charts in the U.K. this week. This frame marks only its second stay on each and every of them. The studio effort rises highest on the Official Vinyl Albums list, where it returns at No. 22. The set also appears outside the top 40 on both the Official Physical Albums and Official Albums Sales rankings, reentering at Nos. 45 and 51, respectively.

The album previously debuted on all three charts in the summer of 2022. At that point, it became a top 40 win on the trio of tallies and even managed to start its time on the Official Vinyl Albums list at No. 10.

ABBA’s New Version Sells Well

On June 13, ABBA re-released its namesake album on exciting formats. The full-length was offered as a double LP via a half-speed master, and the group also shared both a box set of the biggest singles from the project as well as picture discs of some of those tunes, including “SOS” and “Mamma Mia.”

ABBA’s Discography Rises Again

ABBA sees three different albums appear on the charts in the U.K. this week. As its self-titled project returns to multiple rankings, ABBA – The Singles debuts on two tallies, and Gold – Greatest Hits continues to live on several lists, including the Official Albums chart, where it has now spent more than 1,200 frames.
