ABBA's

2021 album

VOYAGE

is a record breaker!


The new album released by superstars ABBA in Autumn 2021 has rapidly become the new century's  fasting selling album on vinyl.  Sales of  the Voyage album are  made up mainly physical sales (as opposed to downloads) reflecting their likely audience demographics.  89.53% of the sales are for physical 'items' rather than downloads or other streaming.   

The group’s first album in four decades, has debuted at No.1 with sales of 203,909 - the biggest weekly sale since Ed Sheeran’s success in March 2017. 

The vinyl sales figures of just under 30,000 ( 29,891) copies easily beat the previous record this century of 24478 held by the Arctic Monkeys, for their Tranquility Base Hotel release over three years ago. ABBA's  Voyage album has also notched up sales of  148,471 copies on CD, and has even shifted 4,205 copies on cassette!

With 10 No.1 albums to their name, only seven other acts have notched up more UK chart-toppers than ABBA: The Beatles, Elvis, Rolling Stones, Robbie Williams, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen and David Bowie. The No.1 for Voyage also marks ABBA’s 58th total week as UK No.1 on the albums chart. Its a position only surpassed by Elvis Presley and the Beatles. 

Sales are expected to surge again after the release of a Deluxe box set package, comprising a CD with a Poster, a pack of  Art Cards and sheets of ABBA  Stickers. Ideal for any ABBA fan - More details of that package can be had by clicking HERE
