Speaking on the early success of Voyage, the group said: \u201cWe are so happy that our fans seem to have enjoyed our new album as much as we enjoyed making it! We are absolutely over the moon to have an album at the top of the charts again\u201d.
Last week, ABBA released the video for their first-ever Christmas song, \u2018Little Things\u2019.
Taken from the group\u2019s new album, \u2018Voyage\u2019, the festive single is described as \u201ca gentle reflection on the joy of Christmas morning and family time around this special time of year.\u201d
Speaking about the new track, all the proceeds of which are going to Unicef\u2019s Global Child Protection Fund, ABBA said: \u201cWe think it is impossible to eradicate poverty without the empowerment of women. That\u2019s why we support Unicef in protecting girls from sexual violence and empowering them through the Global Child Protection Fund.
\u201cWe have done so for many years with our song \u2018Chiquitita\u2019 and now we have decided to give Unicef a Christmas gift in the form of a second song: \u2018Little Things\u2019 from our album \u2018Voyage!\u2019\u201d.
The legendary quartet will showcase the record at a string of \u201crevolutionary\u201d concerts at London\u2019s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in 2022. Earlier this year, the event\u2019s producers spoke to NME about what to expect from the \u201cmagical space circus\u201d. (NME)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
