And then wonder why the shimmering Head Over Heels hit number one in the Netherlands but only reached number 25 in the UK, finally breaking their run of 18 consecutive top ten hits.

It’s amazing, therefore, that post Björn/Agnetha split (1979), and Benny/Frida split (1980), that ABBA not only existed, but - thanks in part to those break-ups - penned their best songs ever. This one - of course - being the absolute apex of their break-up brilliance.
