Posted November 8, 20213 yr Hello & Welcome to the ABBA - Singles Rate 2021 edition. Considering that they've just made a successful comeback this very year I thought now would be a good time to sit back & enjoy their back catalogue. ABBA is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with record sales estimated to be between 150 million and 385 million sold worldwide. I will only be including their UK & USA singles (33 in total), but will be open to requests. Rules:Rate the singles between 0-10Half-mark scores of .5's are acceptable, but please no 0.5's or 10.5'sAs I am feeling generous you can use 2 11's (for your top 2 faves) & a single -1 to your absolute worst (both of which are optional)If you don't know the song just ;eave it blank or come back to it later (there's a spotify playlist for guidance below)DEADLINE: November 23rd 2021The Singles: xx.x Waterloo xx.x Honey Honey xx.x Ring, Ring xx.x I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do xx.x SOS xx.x Mamma Mia xx.x Fernando xx.x Dancing Queen xx.x Money, Money, Money xx.x Knowing Me Knowing You xx.x The Name of the Game xx.x Take A Chance on Me xx.x Summer Night City xx.x Chiquitita xx.x Does Your Mother Know xx.x Voulez-Vous xx.x Angeleyes xx.x Gimme!

An ABBA 8.5 is a 9.5 for most artists.
November 8, 20213 yr I can see some of the songs from The Visitors are going to get middling scores here, but to me those four songs are all astounding. When All Is Said And Done should have been a global chart topper, it's heavenly. And Head Over Heels lives rent free in my head (over heels).
November 8, 20213 yr The Visitors is (clearly) the best album, the combination of the hooks (which are just as good as ever) and the lyricism, with the depth that A+F found in their vocals by that point in their career lead to career high after career high. When All Is Said and Done is just as accomplished as The Winner Takes It All and packs just as much of an emotional gut punch, just in a slightly different, more restrained way. It’s also nice to see some really good scores for Angeleyes - surely the best example of the “Third Voice” in their entire discography. The chorus harmonies are a thing of sheer beauty.

November 8, 20213 yr I don't know whether it's because I don't like, think it's overrated over over played but Dancing Queen is their worst for me. I'm glad I am not the only one x (not gonna do this rate as there are too many songs I don't know and I do not care enough about ABBA to listen to them but Lay All Your Love On Me to win pls)
November 9, 20213 yr 'Dancing Queen' kind of grates on me too, it's very overdone and I think Theresa May really helped ruin it too.
