Welcome to
ABBA Omnibus · Everything ABBA.
It has now a month since ABBA's new album
Voyage was released. And what a month it
has been. Voyage topped the charts in 19 countries,
debuting at number 1 in most countries, and in many parts of the
world it remains in the top ten a month later. In the UK and
Germany it outsold all the other entries in the album chart
combined in its first week of release. In the USA it peaked at
number 2, ABBA's first ever top 10 album.
In many countries Voyage has been the biggest and
fastest selling album of the year, and the biggest selling CD
and LP in a decade. In its first week the album sold 1 million
copies worldwide and had a total of
16 million global streams. It has already gone gold in Denmark
and France, and platinum in Germany and the UK. In Germany
Voyage has also been declared Album of the Year.
Lead single 'I Still Have Faith In You' has been nominated for
the Grammy's Record of the Year, while ABBA has been nominated
for International Group of the Year by the Brit Awards. The
awards will be announced on 31 January and 8 February 2022
respectively.
'Little Things' has just been released as the fourth single from
Voyage, with a special themed
video to accompany the
song. All royalties from sales and streaming will be donated to
UNICEF's Global Child Protection Fund.
You can check out all the different versions of Voyage
released around the world, plus the singles from the album and
lots of extras, right here on the
