Data Insight

Voyage was ABBA's first album of new material in forty years, written solely by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus and produced by Andersson. Conceived alongside the ABBA Voyage virtual concert in London, the reunion album reunited all four members three decades after the group last recorded together. The lead singles "I Still Have Faith in You" and "Don't Shut Me Down" arrived together in September 2021 and gave the band its first UK top ten single in nearly forty years. The record debuted at number one in the UK and became ABBA's highest-charting album in the United States.

Voyage is ABBA's ninth studio album, released in November 2021, the group's first collection of new material in forty years following The Visitors (1981). All ten tracks were written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, with Andersson serving as the sole producer and Ulvaeus participating as associate producer, backing vocalist, and co-songwriter. The album sold more than one million copies worldwide in its first week, debuting at number one in the UK with 90% of its sales in physical formats. Voyage was conceived alongside the ABBA Voyage concert experience, a pioneering virtual performance at a purpose-built London venue. The record became ABBA's highest-charting album in the United States, peaking at number two on the Billboard 200.
