Great to see you back.
Without saying too much I reckon The Day Before You Came is ranked about 68 places too low for my liking.

I'd certainly have The Day Before You Came a lot higher but maybe not top 10.

So many tracks which would have been smash singles especially Our Last Summer and One Man, One Woman.
For me Summer Night City was probably one of their weakest singles.

Hi Alex, some gems a bit too low for me (Day Before You Came, SOS, Mamma Mia, Summer Night City, Name Of The Game) but some fab lesser known tracks doing well, Tiger would have topped my charts had I allowed album tracks in late 1976, and Bang A Boomerang too earlier in the year, So Long hit 5, Rock Me (I allowed B sides in 1974 to early 1976) charted, If It Wasn't For The Nights would have been close to topping my charts, Should I Laugh Or Cry has topped my charts as an oldie, As Good As New and On And On are both waiting for an opportunity..

'Why did it have to be me' is one that I've grown to love since seeing the new Mamma Mia film.

Andante, Andante is in my top 5 - really should have been a Christmas single.

# 20. Kisses Of Fire
"Kisses of Fire" was released as the B-side to the single "Does Your Mother Know" in April 1979, shortly before the release of the Voulez-Vous album.

# 19. Two For The Price Of One
"Two for the Price of One" was recorded for "The Visitors" album, but sounds like their early songs.
Cute song with the one from my favourite lyrics in ABBA tracks.

# 17. Dream World"Dream World" was recorded in September 1978 during sessions for "Voulez-Vous". However, composers Benny and Björn ultimately decided that "Dream World" was not suitable for release, and instead agreed to scrap the recording. The melody and chord sequence of the middle-eight of "Dream World" were re-used, with different lyrics, as the bridge for the middle-eight of the song "Does Your Mother Know", later released as the second single from "Voulez-Vous". Before the work with this countdown I didn't know about this song.
