ABBA! Yes, they're pop....absolutely PERFECT pop! They are amazing. Stick to your guns and support that incredible group that used to rule the world. Oh...and I absolutely agree with your other choices, too. I'm proud to say I have them all in my collection, too. :o)
Norm, is there any other type of love of ABBA? Other than that this is a REALLY nice chart. Love the Buzzcocks and Sparks.
Apart from a perverse love of Abba, a great chart! :)

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
