Glad Visitors wasn't a single - not one of my fav tracks.

I love the Visitors, that is actually my favourite album of theirs too.

I prefer two ABBA albums over others, but it's pretty much fifty-fifty and can't select # 1.

The Piper would be close to my top ten.

I love the Visitors, that is actually my favourite album of theirs too. I'm still baffled as to what happened between One Of Us and Head Over Heels. The stand out track here for me is When All Is Said And Done with Frida taking lead. I wonder how it would have fared if it had been a UK single release.

The Piper would be close to my top ten. Yesterday I bought this book and the author named "The Piper" the worst moment in all ABBA's career.

# 79. Sitting In The Palmtree"People laugh and point their fingers Like I was a monkey at the zoo But I will stay here, among my coconuts"# 80. Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)"There's not a soul out there No one to hear my prayer""Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" was very successful song for ABBA. It hit no. 1 in Belgium, Finland, France, Ireland and Switzerland, also reaching Top 3 in Austria, Germany, United Kingdom, Netherlands and Norway.

Didn't expect to see Gimme so low - one of my top 10.

Didn't expect to see Gimme so low - one of my top 10. I've never been a fan of "Gimme" and this single aged very bad for me. Many years ago this song was in a bottom part of personal top 50 ABBA songs list, but now after the attentive re-listening I found it very annoying.

# 75. Tropical Loveland"Just take my hand, I'll show you everything The secrets that my paradise can bring"# 76. Voulez-Vous"And here we go again, we know the start, we know the end Masters of the scene We've done it all before and now we're back to get some more You know what I mean"In comparison with ABBA's hits both before and after, "Voulez-Vous" was not a major hit for the group. Peaked positons weren't very impressive (Belgium # 1, UK # 3, Ireland # 3, France # 5, Netherlands # 4, Switzerland # 9)

Hi alex a very curious mixture of some of my very fave abba songs and some of my least faves! 😀
It sounds like my middle faves are going to top your charts at this rate! ☺

'The Visitors' came very close to being a UK Single.
In 1982 Epic Records were shocked when 'Head Over Heels' got no higher than No.25. This was because - until then - ABBA had 18 Top 10 Singles in a row - 'S.O.S. to 'One Of Us'.
Alan Jones reported that Epic were considering telling UK DJ's to turn the Single over and to start playing 'The Visitors' as the 'A' Side.
After thinking about doing that, (for a few days), Epic decided not to do it and to just let 'Head Over Heels' fall out of the Chart...

Four months without Internet is very painful thing, but I didn't spent my time and finally this ranking was completed and you all will know the results soon. Also two other rankings were finished and will be able on Haven in near future. # 71 - # 72 :# 71. Under Attack # 72. Does Your Mother Know

Oh 'The Day Before You Came' would be much, much higher in mine. I think it's magnificent.
