 Okay, let's try this again! Welcome to the ABBA Gold Rankdown!  About ABBA:
ABBA were a Swedish pop band that formed in 1972, comprised of Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid "Frida" Lyngstad (ABBA being an acronym for each member's first name). They topped the charts from 1974 (after winning Eurovision with the song, "Waterloo") to 1982. At the time of the group's formation, they were two couples. Agnetha and Björn were newly married, with Benny and Frida following in 1978. However, by the time the group had dissolved in 1982, so had both marriages. The group's legacy was sealed in the 90's with the 1992 release of Gold: Greatest Hits, which is one of the best selling albums of all time, and the 1999 hit jukebox musical Mamma Mia!, which was later turned into a movie in 2008. 1999 also brought A*Teens, whose album of ABBA covers, The ABBA Generation, went platinum or gold in 22 territories around the world. Overall, ABBA are estimated to have sold between 140 and 500 million records, making them one of the best selling groups of all time, as well as the most successful act ever to win Eurovision. About Gold:
Gold: Greatest Hits is a compilation album released by ABBA on September 21, 1992. The album has sold over 30 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best selling albums of all time. It is currently #2 on the list of best selling albums in the UK, where it was certified 17x Platinum. It has been reissued countless times, and spawned a follow up compilation in 1993, More ABBA Gold.The Rules:
Listen to all 19 songs, and rank them from #1 to #19 (#1 being best, #19 being worst). Send me your list in a PM, and make sure you've ranked everything. The due date for submissions is March 16 at 11:59 PM EST.

I might as well submit for this--I did listen to The Definitive Collection a while back (I think that had every song here?) and liked it well enough. Gotta attempt 2013 Urban first.

I might do this one, since I believe I listened to most of these when I was younger

1. What song do you think will win (#1)? Dancing Queen. It's the song everybody knows and I will be very (pleasently) surprised if some other song wins this rankdown.
2. What song do you think will come in last place (#19)?
There is no bad songs on this cd but The Name of the Game seems like the song most likely to come last.
3. What do you think will make the top 5? Dancing Queen, The Winner Takes it All, Super Trouper, Take A Chance on Me, SOS
4. What is an "underrated" song that you're hoping does well?
One of Us
5. What is an "overrated" song that you hope does poorly?
Voulez-Vous
6. What will have the highest SD?
Lay All Your Love on Me
7. What will have the lowest SD?
The Winner Takes it All
