one of the best albums ever in the history of music - you can never fail with abba - this is also why mamma mia is such a huge worldwide hit spectacular. If they made a comeback tour it would be out of this world !!

Timeless!
28 July, 2008
ABBA Music never dates. That's why 'Gold'
was No.1 in 1992, No.1 in 1999, & is close to
No.1 in 2008.
It is already the 4th Biggest UK Album Ever.

abba heaven
10 May, 2008
everyone loves abba and this is the perfect abba greatest hits package. packed full of classic abba hits
Great to see it back at number one in the official album charts (for the 5th time since it's first release in 1992!)
this pop band have true staying power. just proves to other artists that re-packaging greatest hits ain't always needed to increase album sales, this has become the 4th best selling album in the uk.
buy this, you can't go wrong

When Swedish musicians Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson invited their partners Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad to sing backing vocals on some tracks, they were quite pleased with the results, but could not have dreamed how successful this new direction would be.
After adopting the name ABBA, formed from the initials of the 4 members' first names, victory in Brighton in the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest propelled the band to international stardom. 'Gold' is the essential ABBA collection which has sold over 22 million copies worldwide.
Featuring all 9 of their UK Number 1's and a host of other pop classics, your collection isn't complete without it. - Martin Simpson
Massive-selling, definitive greatest hits collection from arguably the greatest pure pop act of all time. The inspiration for countless male-female groups even to this day, their irresistibly catchy melodies, close harmonies and emotionally resonant lyrics have been imitated many times but never bettered. Includes all the classics like 'Dancing Queen', 'Money Money Money', 'Knowing Me KnowingYou', 'The Winner Takes It All' and the Eurovision-winning 'Waterloo'.
Not many pop groups end up on postage stamps, as Abba has in its native Sweden; but then again, few groups become their homeland's most identifiable export. The group's stratospheric success was built on a foundation of buoyant, exquisitely arranged and produced pop music. Although they called it a day in the early 1980s, Abba lives on in the form of popular tribute bands and albums, a West End musical, and consistent record sales of their voluminous catalogue.
