I don't have a least favorite ABBA album. They are all brilliant. But if you couldn't tell by my rankings, Voulez Vouz is not like my top ABBA album. But the title track is incredible.

Unlike Megan, Voulez-Vous is absolutely my favorite ABBA album. So it makes logical sense that the title track happens to be one of my favorite ABBA songs ever and easily one of my favorite songs of all-time. Voulez-Vous is easily one of the best dance songs ever. There is a perfect blend of rock, pop, and disco here that lends to one of the most interesting sounds I have ever heard in a song. And of course we have to love the suggestive lyrics about two people at a bar that meet and struggle with the question of "do you want?" LOL. Again, I love the very obviously sexual ABBA songs. Really happy to see this crack the top ten, but a bit higher would have been preferred.

There are many many ABBA covers but very few of them do I go "wow this is maybe better than ABBA" and the only ones may be Christine Baranski's "Does Your Mother Know" and Cher's "Fernando." Likely because Benny was on the production for Cher's version. Anyway, regardless this is just about a perfect song anyway.

"Fernando" is one of the greatest-selling singles of all-time for a reason. This is my father's favorite ABBA song and definitely my most listened-to ABBA song ever. I really hold this song so closely to my heart. A love song inspired by a bartender from Sweden who has lost his love or a more tragic song about two Mexican men returning from guerrilla warfare and reflecting on memories. WHO KNOWS. WHO CARES. Truly one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. The lyrics bring me to tears. And that chorus is immaculate. I am really shocked that this only ended up in ninth place. Makes me a bit sad, but just happy that we all seem to love this song.

The very first ABBA single! The song that is responsible for launching one of the greatest pop legacies of all-time. An absolutely deserving top ten finalist. I mean the song likens a woman surrendering herself to love to the defeat of Napoleon at the 1815 Battle of Waterloo. THAT IS HOW YOU START A SUPERSTAR CAREER.

"SOS" might be Agnetha at her best. One of the greatest heartbreaking love ballads of all-time. Fight me.
