Title

Not the most important question in the world, but since this was obviously marketed and named as a tie-in to ABBA: The Movie, doesn't this mean that the title is meant to be ABBA: The Album?

Yes, the normal convention is that the front cover has the artist's name and the album name on the front cover, but this doesn't always follow when the album contains the artists' name anyway.

For example; this album by Queen isn't called "II", it's called "Queen II". And this album's cover doesn't say "ABBA - ABBA" even though that's the accepted artist and title (because it would look silly, obviously :-)).

The Album (ABBA album) → ABBA: The Album – As stated already, this album was released in conjunction with ABBA: The Movie. It is almost always referred to as "ABBA - The Album" or "ABBA: The Album" and the article should reflect this. Also, the official web site (which appears in search engines as "ABBA - The Site", following this tradition) clearly lists the title as "ABBA - The Album", so one or other of the variations should be used.

Support move in order to match ABBA: The Movie. The album is directly related to the movie. Cjc13 (talk) 10:48, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mini-musical

The article, like the album, mentions a 'mini musical' The Girl with the Golden Hair but there is no other information about it on Wikipedia. Time for a new article? The Seventh Taylor (talk) 03:03, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

CR missing

Article needs a critical reception section. Un school 01:35, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Girl with the Golden Hair merge

As this did not warrant a stand alone article and the content is strongly related to Abbe The Album I moved its content and incorporated it here. In essence, three songs of this mini musical would be included in the release while a fourth was omitted altogether and re-written at a later stage. Implemented a non-controversial redirect.Karst (talk) 11:07, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Singles section

Why have that special section on singles for a few countries? The US and Canada section has the Canadian chart positions for Take a Chance on Me but does not credit this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Coachtripfan (talk • contribs) 18:26, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
