Based on the classic ABBA collection The Singles – The First Ten Years, originally released in 1982, this new box set expands the concept by updating the story, including all ABBA singles released between 1972 and 2022. Available on four vinyl records and one Double CD, The Singles – The First Fifty Years is a journey through some of the greatest pop music ever recorded. From the group’s 1972 debut single “People Need Love” to “No Doubt About It” (2022) from the album Voyage, the 38-song box set features masterpieces like “SOS”, “Mamma Mia”, “ Fernando”, “Dancing Queen”, “Knowing Me, Knowing You”, “Take A Chance On Me”, “Chiquitita”, “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)”, “The Winner Takes It All”, “Super Trouper”, “One Of Us”, “Don’t Shut Me Down” and all other great ABBA hits.

To complete the story, The Singles – The First Fifty Years includes four additional tracks not released as A-sides by Polar Music, but which were singles in some countries at the time: “Hasta Mañana”, “Angeleyes” (a double A-side with “ Voulez-Vous” in some countries), “Lay All Your Love On Me” and “When All Is Said And Done”. This box comes with an illustrated booklet with texts by Carl Magnus Palm.

The Singles – The First Fifty Years is the definitive celebration of ABBA’s pop music genius!
