ABBA are heading back to the Official Singles Chart Top 10 for the first time in forty years with their two comeback singles taken from their upcoming new album Voyage.
On today (September 5)’s Official Chart: First Look, the legendary Swedish group place at Numbers 6 and 7 with I Still Have Faith In You and Don’t Shut Me Down respectively. The tracks will mark ABBA’s first UK Top 10 singles since One Of Us in December 1981 should their momentum continue.
I Still Have Faith In You and Don’t Shut Me Down are both available physically, the former leading on the format thanks to strong CD and vinyl sales.

Meanwhile, Don’t Shut Me Down is the most downloaded song in the UK so far this week. In addition, both songs have been streamed over 500,000 times this weekend.
The two new singles are taken from Voyage, ABBA’s first new studio album in 39 years since 1981’s The Visitors, to be released on November 5. The 10-track album featured eight new songs and two reworkings - Just a Notion and Bumblebee – that were previously only released as demo versions on the rare ‘ABBA Undeleted’ medley.
ABBA will release their first Christmas song Little Things on the collection, which was reported to have accumulated 40,000 UK pre-orders in less than 24 hours of availability.

ABBA Voyage will see digital versions of Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Anni-Frid perform their two new tracks and their greatest hits at the purpose-built ABBA Arena at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. East London. Tickets go on general sale this coming Tuesday.

It's so sad not to see Duran Duran's new single Anniversary within the Top 10...I guess they're more loved in the rest of the world than in their own country...
Angela Vas
Heard a little bit of Drake - dull and monotonous. And ABBA (Don't shut me down) which makes you wanna live and dance and be happy. ABBA should be #1!
thierry henon
ABBA for number 1 please!! Their comeback singles are just.....so good!!
D
Devastashun.
Oh please no more!

RyanT
Who knew we would wake up in 2021 and see 2 ABBA songs in the top10 !!
Amazing...
Zimowski
Why are Glass Animal climbing so high a year after the release of Heat Waves?
afrog
Tiktok probably
Ollytedlew
Where is Charli XCX ‘Good Ones’? Good to see ‘Out Out’ still in the Top ten 🧡
IB2017
Drake, Drake and more Drake...
Norb Peti
Cod Heart please climb!!!
Kasper Elbjørn
Why is it suddenly in top 10?
Piran
No way! ABBA have two songs in the Top 10?
I know they’ll both fall a lot throughout the week, but even if at least one of them gets played on the chart show next Friday, that’d be enough for me.
I love this group so much! :D
Piran
So happy to see ‘Cold Heart’ enter the Top 10 here, but I know it won’t last until Friday. :/
NC
Nigel Coleman
It's going up which is good enough.
Piran
Yeah, any climb for it is good news to me, haha. :)
Piran
If this First Look does hold true, would that make Drake the first artist ever to debut at #1, #2 & #3 in the same week? :O
NN
Nu No
Probably but I hope he won't hold on so high with all those songs as they aren't that good and at least 2 of them will probably only be TOP 10 for 1 week or 2 as the album was just released and are getting lots of streams. I'm curious to see if any of those Drake song will even make it to the TOP 40 Single Sales chart.
Piran
Regarding your last point, I think ‘Fair Trade’ will end up in the Top 40 of the sales chart, but that’ll be Drake’s only song there! :P
