Abba Date - 12th June 1983

On the 12th June 1983 Agnetha's first post-Abba solo album (and my favourite !) "Wrap Your Arms Around Me" peaked at number 18 in the UK album charts. The top five albums in the UK that week was as follows -

  1. Michael Jackson "Thriller"
  2. David Bowie "Let's Dance"
  3. George Benson "In Your Eyes"
  4. Kool And The Gang "Twice As Kool"
  5. Japan "Oil On Canvas"

Despite the disappointing chart position in the UK the album did much better in other countries -

  • Number 1 - Belgium, Norway (5 weeks), Sweden (4 weeks)
  • Number 3 - Netherlands
  • Number 4 - Finland
  • Number 9 - Switzerland
  • Number 13 - Germany
  • Number 15 - South Africa
  • Number 18 - UK
  • Number 20 - Austria
  • Number 34 - Canada
  • Number 47 - France
  • Number 49 - Australia
