ABBA SOS (1975) Top Pop

One of the most anticipated comebacks in pop culture has finally come to pass: the return of Abba. Forty years after the bitter songs written in the wake of two band divorces for their last album, 1981s The Visitors, the Swedish pop quartet has reunited for Voyage, an album of brand new songs that will be released on 5 November including, they say, a Christmas song. Two tracks from it, the stately and epic ballad I Still Have Faith in You and the shimmying Dont Shut Me Down, are out now. The group Benny Andersson, Agnetha Fältskog, AnniFrid Lyngstad and Björn Ulvaeus have also announced a new concert experience in London, also called Voyage, beginning in May 2022. Digital versions of themselves (not holograms, their team asserted) will appear nightly alongside a 10piece live band at a new 3, 000capacity venue in the citys Olympic park, called the Abba Arena. Tickets go on general sale on Tuesday 7 September. To celebrate this new we highlight this original TopPop recordi
