ABBA's #1 Songs

Sad that it took a play for America to discover what they had been missing for 40-plus years.  Music fans in the United States finally realized what the rest of the world had known all along--ABBA was an incredible group, in fact one of the best of all-time.


I just posted a piece about Mariah Carey topping Elvis Presley with 18 #1's.  But she's still shy of ABBA's 20 worldwide #1's.
