ABBA - Voyage

Could this be their first top 10 studio album in the US? I mean could they make 50k first week in the US...
I think so! The endless variants certainly won’t hurt dd. They got 5 US sales out of me alone! (Plus 3 more from France, but I don’t think those will count toward the French charts.) I wouldn’t even be surprised for them to get #1, though they’ll fall out of the top 10 the next week. For comparison, the first Mamma Mia! soundtrack hit #1 and the second hit #4. I think it all depends on how well they promote it.
Prior to Mamma Mia (The Movie) wasn't ABBA mainly known in the US for Dancing Queen and not much else?
I’d say the musical actually. There was definitely some awareness of them after that and before the movie. But yeah it took the movie for them to be recognized as legends here rather than just another legacy act.
 
They just never totally broke through there. Because of Dancing Queen they're seemingly listed as a 'Eurodisco' act and nothing more.

When I lived there as a kid in the 80s I was always stunned at the European hits our friends from home were sending us mixtapes of that just tanked there (and occasionally vice versa).
 
I wonder if it will get a video same style as Faith for Shut Me Down soon. I mean I know they will sell well for 2021 standards first week but I want more momentum 2 weeks up to the release.

Seems unlikely now. Lyric videos are obviously cheap but very boring to watch!

I did hear a rumour that there would be a third single out soon - When You Danced With Me - but no sign of that. Didn’t someone on here say there was some exciting news coming? Again that hasn’t happened yet.
 
Maybe they'll drop another track a week or two before the album?

I'm actually going to be away the day it's out, which is going to spike my anxiety of the wifi isn't good enough wherever I am that day.
