The agency said on Sunday that “I Still Believe in You” is selling well on CD and vinyl, while “Don’t Shut Me Down” is the UK’s most downloaded song so far this week.
The two songs are part of “Voyage,” ABBA’s first album since 1981’s “Visitors.”
The launch was announced at an event in London on Thursday, to the delight of fans around the world.
The four members of ABBA – an acronym for its members’ first names – are all now septuagenarians: Anni-Frid Lyngstad (75), Agnetha Fältskog (71), Björn Ulvaeus (76) and Benny Andersson (74).
