by John Egan 171 views

The Beatles, BeeGees, and Elvis have already done it. Now 70s and 80s supergroup and Eurovision Song Contest superstars ABBA will have their turn as they release Number Ones in both CD and DVD formats. Both products will be released in the US on November 21st.

Details on a worldwide release are still pending, though the Number One series tend to be global releases.

ABBA only had only one Hot 100 singles chart topper in the US, in 1976 with Dancing queen. But several other top 10 singles – including Waterloo, a rare US chart success for a Eurovision winner – still make them among the most popular acts of the 70s and 80. Based on the track list, theNumber Onecriteria is based on various singles charts worldwide.
