Hello and welcome to the new 'Your Favourite ABBA Single',

The contest will be run in the same way as the Madonna one which you may have seen around this forum.

Heres a brief explanation of how this is going to work:

There are going to be 6 rounds at the start, each consisting of 7 songs (which are all UK ABBA singles)

To vote, you must put these songs in order from your favourite to least favourite. Its that simple!

The semi final and final stages will be explained later.

Votes will be open until Friday!

Here is round 1's songs:

People Need Love
Waterloo
I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do
Dancing Queen
Summer Night City
I Have a Dream
When All Is Said and Done


The top 3 songs from this round will go through to the semi finals.

Get voting and... enjoy!

1. I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do - should've been WAISAD as my number 1 but when it's up against ID,ID,ID,ID it doesn't stand a chance. Not a particularly great ABBA song but for some weird reason I just love it, Muriel's Wedding might have played some small part in that but it's just such a great jubilant, festive, kitschy song.

2. When All Is Said and Done
3. Summer Night City
4. Dancing Queen
5. Waterloo
6. I Have a Dream
7. People Need Love

1 I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do
2 Dancing Queen
3 Waterloo
4 When All is Said and Done
5 Summer Night City
6 I Have a Dream
7 People Need Love

I heard it on a TV show couple of years ago, probably my favourite ABBA song.

Can I ask what exactly is meant by 'UK ABBA singles'? Does that mean including B-sides? (I'm wondering where the 6x7 comes from!)

Standout - When All Is Said and Done

Waterloo
I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do (love both in almost equal glammy/rocky measure)

Summer Night City
Dancing Queen (love both in dancey measure, but SNC's unique 'dirty disco' sound pips it)

I Have a Dream (it's great ABBA, but I have to be in the mood for ballads, whereas I can listen to the above anytime)

People Need Love (had to YT this one to remind me - yuk!!)

Singles released in the UK only. Not B Sides. I noticed some singles were released in other countries, so I left those out. The list is on Wikipedia.

Good thread, although slightly misleading, as two of your chosen seven songs were NEVER released as singles in the UK. But here are my chosen seven favourites from this list...

1. Dancing Queen
2. Waterloo
3. When All Is Said And Done (a single in US/Canada/Aus)
4. Summer Night City
5. I Have A Dream
6. People Need Love (a single in Germany/Scandinavia/US)
7. I Do I Do I Do I Do I Do
