Oooh I didn't think of that!!!

We've got it on; I'm not an ABBA fan but Mrs C is.
I bet they don't play the one ABBA song I really do like though.

Abba are an epic pop group. Love 'em or hate 'em you can't deny they wrote many astonishingly good pop songs.

Personally, I love 'em!

The mrs is watching, I like them but really can't be bothered with hours of talking heads and a countdown.

This is probably more of a girly program; I'm watching. I've got to agree with Trace, they wrote some tremendous pop songs.

One of my faves has just been on, Gimme Gimme Gimme, the other probably won't appear, which is Eagle.

Well I'm not a girly but agree that Eagle (which is unlikely to be featured) is a fantastic track.

I too am enjoying this programme. They sure did many great tracks.

I've just eaten my words, The Day Before You Came was at no 3.

I think The Day Before You Came is the secret track that everyone knows about. It is certainly one of my favourites, it brings back just how exotic European things seemed in the cold war 80s.

I did't see Visitors in there, which was surprising http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59hkcS5wr9k

Eagle and The Visitors didn't make it into the listing because they weren't single A sides in the UK. ITV ran an online survey back in September/October where people could vote for their top 5 ABBA singles.

I have to admit, there were no surprises in there - except possibly for Money Money Money ranking so low. It was nice to see they showed mostly ABBA too, and didn't turn the thing into yet another documentary/ad for the Mamma Mia! film.

ABBA were fab, and so many of their songs are timeless.

Just listened to Eagle and The Visitors on youtube. Remember Eagle, but The Visitors... AWESOME track! Very prog rock.
