Bit gap opening up in sales chart but unlikely not that much sales difference.

What other Mamma Mia songs, apart from the title song have certifications?


What is going to be the next ABBA single to get a silver certification?

The Day Before You Came?
Honey Honey?
Slipping Through My Fingers?
Don't Shut Me Down?
Happy New Year?

These would of course be for digital - downloads and streams.

Whilst Voyage is placed only in the charts of Belgium (Wallonia) right now, GOLD has done this in a couple of countries (in addition to those mentioned above yet):

USA: 89 (70) 231

Canada: 42 (41) 140

Switzerland: 27 (39) 662

Austria: 28 (30) 548

Poland: 39 (re-entry) 24

Greece: 24 (22) 75

[TfromBinG]

Germany midweek update:

GOLD 68 (69) 405

Voyage 95 (re-entry) - won't probably be inside the Top 100 on Friday

[Nameless]

It's quite sad that songs from both MM films have higher UK "sales" figures or global streaming numbers than many actual ABBA songs.

[TfromBinG]

Probably at the end of the next week Lay All Your Love On Me will pass the 200 million mark on Spotify. And Angeleyes will pass the 100 million earlier than Money, Money, Money.

All the TOP 28 songs gained around a plus of 135 millions streamings within a month.

[TfromBinG]

The Swedish charts have finished their holiday break and published today the charts even for the weeks during the break. While no ABBA-album appeared in the main charts, Voyage did this in the physical charts in the last four weeks:

8 - 10 - 6 - 16

[petrodav1452]

Danke Schweden, das ist schön

[TfromBinG]

The Netherlands:

Voulez-Vous 60 (52) 70

[Nameless]

Gold returns to UK TOP 10

Gold #10 (15). Sales are 4,105. Most of that will be streaming equivalent sales.


In Sales Chart
#22 (29)Gold
#31 (43) Voyage

[petrodav1452]

Does anyone know if the Charts plus magazine is active, and still publishing a weekly Top 200 of the Official UK Album Chart.

Be fascinating to see where or if Voyage' or Studio Albums are positioned on the list.

[TfromBinG]

Good to see Voyage rising in the sales charts. Pity that we do not know if it means an increasing of sales or if it was just a week of weak sales.

Ireland:

GOLD 6 (5) 706

Germany:

GOLD 67 (69) 406

[Lewis17]

Does anyone know if the Charts plus magazine is active, and still publishing a weekly Top 200 of the Official UK Album Chart.

Yes, it's still active but I'm no longer a subscriber (I stopped when the Top 200 singles chart was reduced to a Top 100). So far as I'm aware the Top 200 albums chart is still published each week.

[petrodav1452]

Thanks Lewis 17, for the information, l tend to only follow the Album Charts, so not much of an incentive to Subscribe.be good if you could just subscribe to individual Charts, but l suppose that would not be viable for them.

Switzerland:

Belgium, new certification:

Voules-Vouz Platinum

[Nameless]

Here is a link for that Belgian certification.

https://www.ultratop.be/fr/or-platine/2022/albums

I think that is 50,000 sales - based on when VV was released. Now platinum is 30,000.

[TfromBinG]

Yes, the platinum certification for Voulez-Vous in Belgium is for 50,000. I tried to find out when certifications were introduced in Belgium, but I really wasn't that succesful. There are only hints. There are some lists online showing the most succesful albums in Belgium (GOLD is 3rd or 4th) and their certifications, but none of them is from the seventies or earlier. The database nameless linked goes back to 1995 (in that year GOLD was certified triple platinum in Belgium). Trent Nickson (the runner of the site abbacharts.com) already has Voulez-Vous with platinum (as well as other ABBA-albums). And he did'nt update the Belgium-section since January 2022.
