"The Winner Takes It All' was the a UK number 1 in July of 1980. An absolout classic song about the biterness of divorce, this has become one of ABBA's best loved songs. This would have been my winner so SHAME ON YOU ALL!!
We now vote for our winner - 'Dancing Queen' vs 'Lay All Your Love On Me' - A bit of a David & Goliath battle!
The voting will be open for about a week. Here we go again!

These results have been odd, to say the least. I would vote for "Dancing Queen" if there was a poll 
"Lay All Your Love on Me" for the win! 
Posted by: Jester Aug 14 2018, 06:25 PM
"Lay All Your Love on Me" for the win! Oops! Now added ha ha. Plus this final time, you're voting for your favourite!
Posted by: coi Aug 14 2018, 06:26 PM
To clarify, it says "vote for your winner".
Does this mean vote for your favourite song or your least favourite song?
[EDIT: looks like you just answered that, you're voting for your favourite right?]
Posted by: Jester Aug 14 2018, 06:28 PM
Yes, vote for your favourite!
Posted by: gavindeejay Aug 14 2018, 07:39 PM
Dancing Queen it is!
Posted by: Lukuzz Aug 14 2018, 08:21 PM
Lay All Your Love On Me
Posted by: Jade Aug 14 2018, 08:22 PM
Sorry I was hasty and voted for my least favourite 
please could my vote for 'Dancing Queen' be changed to 'Lay All Your Love On Me'? thanks 
Posted by: King Rollo Aug 14 2018, 08:38 PM
It's a bit like the Big Brother final when they say you are voting for who you want to win now instead of who you want to evict.
The Winner Takes It All was my favourite from the last three. I have voted for Dancing Queen to win the final.
Posted by: SamJudd Aug 14 2018, 08:40 PM
Dancing Queen 2 WIN...
Posted by: dandy* Aug 14 2018, 08:49 PM
please could my vote for 'Dancing Queen' be changed to 'Lay All Your Love On Me'? thanks Swapped
Hopefully nobody else had already done it!

Yes, LAYLOM, sorry about the acronym but cba tbh xx
Posted by: coi Aug 15 2018, 08:44 AM
Great to see Lay All Your Love On Me smashing it!
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Aug 15 2018, 09:03 AM
'Lay All Your Love On Me' to win! 
So glad to see this result, it's easily their best for me.
Posted by: Dexton Aug 15 2018, 09:34 AM
don't go wasting your emotion
Posted by: HarryEzra Aug 15 2018, 10:10 AM
Omg I just was informed we vote our fave now...I voted for Lay All Your Love On Me because it was my least fave of the two. I meant to vote for dancing queen ffs.
Posted by: Maz! Aug 15 2018, 10:11 AM
Lay All Your Love One Me to win this please
Posted by: liamk97 Aug 15 2018, 11:16 AM
Never expected LAYLOM to do this well. I really like it but ABBA have so many more songs I'd put in its place in the final.
Posted by: Jade Aug 15 2018, 01:38 PM
I'm so impressed that 'Lay All Your Love On Me' made it this far when it was close to exiting in pretty early rounds 
their best song for sure.
Posted by: Jester Aug 15 2018, 01:54 PM
I’ve changed your vote.
Posted by: Flatcap Aug 15 2018, 03:03 PM
Same here Liam and Jade, it seems David is beating Goliath at the moment. Makes me wonder if everyone read the poll question correctly? Does it always work like this? Vote for your favourite in the final round? I can't remember, it has been so long since I took part in one...
Posted by: dandy* Aug 15 2018, 04:25 PM
I’m not that surprised tbh, it’s my personal favourite of theirs and I know it tends to be for people who aren’t actually big fans of ABBA in general.
Posted by: Jester Aug 15 2018, 04:53 PM
Yes it’s usual to vote for your winner in the final round.
Looks like LAYLOM is the sleeper hit - plus it had the lowest number of votes in the last round.
Posted by: liamk97 Aug 15 2018, 05:15 PM
That's what I thought may have been the reasoning for its success. It's less camp I guess than other ABBA hits but is still poppy and commercial.
Posted by: HarryEzra Aug 15 2018, 05:20 PM
Thank you <3
Posted by: Spiceboy Aug 16 2018, 12:21 AM
LAYLOM I wasn't originally much of a fan but WOW this song GREW on me!
Posted by: liamk97 Aug 16 2018, 01:23 AM
Random but all this time I thought it was "acting like a super trouper, beams are gonna blind me" not "tonight, the Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me".
Posted by: Jester Aug 20 2018, 05:59 PM
Final bump!
Posted by: Hide&Seek Aug 22 2018, 12:00 AM
I vote for Dancing Queen !
Posted by: Jester Aug 22 2018, 06:37 PM
VOTE FOR YOUR FAVOURITE/WINNER!
Dancing Queen [ 14 ] ** [35.90%]
Lay All Your Love On Me [ 25 ] ** [64.10%]
I declare Lay All Your Love On Me the winner of the ABBA Gold survivor!
Quite the underdog 
Posted by: Popchartfreak Aug 23 2018, 07:23 PM
Unexpected but fab result either way whichever won! 
thanks for doing this Matt and the Queen choice is inspired as the follow-up choice! Who doesnt love Queen, what with a film coming out too?!
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Aug 24 2018, 09:10 AM
Sooo happy with that winner! Especially as it looked like we were losing it at one point.
Posted by: Leonardo Aug 24 2018, 10:14 AM
One of my top three ABBA songs taking it in the end is something of a victory, massive thanks to Matt for finishing this for me after work took over my life . Xx
Posted by: Flatcap Aug 24 2018, 05:48 PM
Thanks to Leonardo and Matt for running this, I enjoyed this.
I am glad one of my favourites won this.
Posted by: Good Old Days Aug 24 2018, 06:24 PM
Not a big fan of Dancing Queen, but it is good song, another - obviously not.
Posted by: Hide&Seek Aug 25 2018, 11:22 PM
It wouldn't be my winner, but I can't grumble as both songs are fab. Thanks.
