Received my order today :disco:

It's all QUITE BEAUTIFUL, if poorly packaged - I'm lucky nothing was damaged. But they messed up and sent me two copies of the deluxe eco box thing, thank you very much. I can have a copy myself which I don't need to touch only wearing white cotton gloves now.
 
Seems odd to think their last #1 studio album in Australia was their first in the UK. The Visitors only made #22 there :o
 
I've seen on AbbaTalk that it's 'official' they are #1 in Germany, but the chart website doesn't update until 4pm.
 
I understood “Mega-Comeback!” so I’m guessing the rest is good.
 
Is it saying they sold the same as the rest of the Top 100 combined?

It’s also the fastest-selling album released by a group in eight years, since One Direction’s Midnight Memories back in November 2013 – indeed, ABBA are only the fourth act in the past decade to surpass 200,000 UK chart sales in release week – the others are Adele’s 25 (November 2015) and Ed Sheeran’s Divide (March 2017).

Celebrating the news, ABBA tell OfficialCharts.com, “We are so happy that our fans seem to have enjoyed our new album as much as we enjoyed making it! We are absolutely over the moon to have an album at the top of the charts again!"

Voyage’s total is made up of 90% physical copies, including 29,900 on vinyl, which makes it the fastest-selling vinyl release of the century, overtaking the 24,500 first-week vinyl sales of Arctic Monkeys’ Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino in 2018.

This also marks ABBA’s 58th total week as UK Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart – only two other acts in history have spent more weeks at the top, The Beatles and Elvis.

Additionally, with ten Number 1 albums to their name, only seven other acts have notched up more UK chart-toppers than ABBA: The Beatles, Elvis, Rolling Stones, Robbie Williams, Madonna, Springsteen and David Bowie.

Mine was dispatched yesterday so I'm hoping I'll come home to it. My orange Amazon VINYLIA is already displayed beautifully.

ICONS (and Robbie Williams) ONLY :disco:
 
Just noticed Adele stopped Sheeran reclaiming #1 on the singles chart as well :D
 
loving the resurgence of ABBAMANIA :disco:

my (very skeptical) father has been thoroughly grilling me with questions like: so how has the music been received? are people actually paying to see the hologram tour? even though they won't be there? have they really sold more CDs than vinyls?

and then my mum (who's a care worker) told me that she heard Bumblebee when Frida was on Zoe Ball yesterday, driving home having just found out one of her old women had died, and that it's a very nice song and she'll always associate it with Anne (RIP) now.

a very divided Britain.
 
They're also on the singles chart 3 times...

#49 Don't Shut Me Down
#60 I Still Have Faith In You
#67 When You Danced With Me
 
With the fastest selling vinyl this century, I presume that record may stretch back to before Gold was released.
 
I think I read that in Sweden all the tracks are in the top 30.
