The discography of Swedish pop music group ABBA consists of nine studio albums, two live albums, seven compilation albums, four box sets, five video albums, 50 singles, and 43 music videos. As of 2020, ABBA has sold in the range of 400 million records worldwide [1] becoming one of the best-selling music artists in history.
Although most countries released the track "One of Us" as the first single from The Visitors in December 1981, ABBA's American record label, Atlantic Records, instead opted for "When All Is Said and Done". It was a modest hit for the group in the US, peaking at No. 27 on the Billboard Hot 100; ABBA's 14th and final US Top 40 hit to date. [4]
"Knowing Me, Knowing You" proved to be one of ABBA's more successful singles, hitting #1 in West Germany (ABBA's sixth consecutive chart-topper there and had sold over 300,000 copies there by September 1979), [3] and the United Kingdom, [4] Ireland, Mexico and South Africa, [5] and reaching the top 3 in Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands and ...
The album's only major single release, "One of Us", proved to be the last of ABBA's nine number-one singles in Germany, this being in December 1981; and the swansong of their sixteen Top 5 singles on the South African chart. "One of Us" was also ABBA's final Top 3 hit in the UK, reaching number-three on the UK Singles Chart.
"Head Over Heels" was released as the group's popularity was starting to decline, and became ABBA's worst selling single since "Money, Money, Money", six years earlier. [5] It peaked at number 25 on the UK Singles Chart, breaking a run of 18 consecutive Top 10 hits (from "SOS" in October 1975 to "One of Us" in December 1981).
For the first time since ABBA made music videos, the clip for "On and On and On" did not feature any live movement from the group. Instead, a photo montage was made from their Las Vegas concert during their 1979 United States tour which attempted to match the action of the photos with the song. The track is in the Mixolydian mode. [citation needed]
