The picture bag issue

LAYLOM 1

Issued in 1981

Only available as a 12 inch single in the uk and throughout the EU.

Only the USA issued a 7 inch single version

Highest chart position number 7 for 1 week

This could have easily been another Number 1 as this track smashed the dance charts all over the world, but some big wig decided on the more expensive 12 inch release only. Shame

At the time, 12 inch singles were issued to promote a dance remix, sadly this was not even remixed, it was as that on the album and remained a disappointment to fans who believe the track was given a great injustice.

one of us 1

Issued in 1982

Highest chart position number 3 for 1 week

Controversy surrounded this as ABBA’s 10th Number 1 single in the UK. At the time of the weekly charts publication at Christmas that year, there was a publishers strike in the UK.

When sales figures were calculated following the strike, they showed this would have definitely been the Christmas Number 1 single for 2 weeks.

One of Us remains the single that was robbed of it’s chart placing.
