Polar's version of Greatest Hits reached number one in Sweden and in Norway, [6] [7] but lost out in sales over much of the rest of Europe and in Australia and New Zealand to the already released rival compilations. However, it had no competition in the UK and in North America, and the UK version of the album was released in April 1976. In the five-month period between the releases of the Scandinavian and UK versions of Greatest Hits, ABBA had achieved their second consecutive (and third overall) UK number-one single with "Fernando", and this song was added to the UK version of the album, as well as to a reissued version in Norway and Denmark. The release of Greatest Hits coincided with the start of ABBA's huge popularity in the UK during the latter half of the 1970s, becoming the first of eight consecutive number-one albums for the group. It spent eleven non-consecutive weeks at the top of the UK Albums Chart and went on to become the best-selling album of 1976 [8] and the second best-selling album of the 1970s. [9] As of July 2016 it is the 46th best-selling album of all time in the UK, [10] with sales of over 2.6 million. [11] Salaverri, Fernando (2015). Sólo éxitos 1959–2012 (1sted.).
