Digital Singles Sales

I’ll bring no news saying ABBA disbanded long before the digital era. Many classic acts still sold an heavy amount of download singles yet. ABBA is a bit disappointing in this area with less than 18 million singles downloaded, a figure not that bad but definitely not huge either.

Just like with physicals, their leading track and album are Dancing Queen and Arrival.

As a reminder, the weighting is done with a 10 to 1,5 ratio between one album and one digital single.
