CSPC: ABBA Popularity Analysis
Part 3 – Global Compilations III
Those three records represent the three different distribution patterns existing for ABBA. The Definitive Collection features all big hits and follows the pattern of Gold. The band also released several love-themed compilations which tend to focus more on their latter hits which had a slower tempo than their early hits. The Name Of The Game is a budget compilation which used to avoid the truly big hits to focus on second-range hits in order to not be overshadowed by major labels compilations.
