Nothing on the radio since Little Things left the charts, The drop could be down to no air play ? know that sounds obvious..but..
Also the inevitable drop in sales after a very good 10 weeks in the top 10....

Yes absolutely it has had a great run .
regards new singles this year . When asked about the 2 songs not on Voyage Benny said they are “ resting” and need more work from him . This would indicate they are going to be finished and released at some stage most likely this year . Maybe as a 50th anniversary thing or to coincide with the shows. I hope there are no more releases from the album there have already been 4 .

The drops now are expected. Most veteran acts don’t stay up in the charts this long anymore.
Abba benefited from the comeback after 40 years plus well they are Abba.
but sales are so low and at this point those that wanted to buy the album already did. A new song for some buzz would be good to keep it in the top 40 in the biggest markets.
i’m sure the album will get a boost in sales comes May and the show opens in London.
At the end if this sells 2 million copies (sales/streaming) worldwide. I’m quite happy!
The Visitors did 4 million at a time they were still doing well (huge hit One of Us) and the market was definitely better than these days.
“B**** come here! B**** come here! B**** come here!”
Voyage has left the German Top 5 as all these positions are occupied by new entries. Where exactly Voyage is right now we will know within an hour.
From now on it's grab all you can take. Probably the BRITS will do a decent boost in February in the UK. It's very likely that ABBA will win the category where they are nominated for.
Concerning the Grammy Awards: It's ISHFIY against all odds, saddly.
I’m honestly amazed they’re still top ten, considering how front loaded their sales were. But you know, ABBA legitimately have a studio album in the top 10 in 2022 - who would have thought it?
10 weeks Top 10 is a good achievement! Wish, somebody would count and compile, how many times a person listens to his or hers own CD or vinyl privatly at home. Instead they count and compile, how many times a person listens to a stream privatly at home.
Modern official charts sometimes are real joke. # 4 album in UK sold just 67 (!!!) copies. Streaming already ruined album charts, like they did it with the singles charts some years ago.
In my head I like to imagine LastDreamer in the land of Lithuania right now with a suitcase of simcards, a box of chocolates and a wedding ring. It would be a great base for an epic Eurovision fan fiction.
The big drop in January was expected. All the fans bought 'Voyage' in the first few weeks and then many people bought it as a Christmas present. Everybody who was interested in the album owns it now.
