February 1988 - Agnetha releases "I Stand Alone"
At the end of February 1988 Agnetha released her third post-Abba (and my personal favourite) album "I Stand Alone" in the UK.
Although the album didn't perform well in the UK charts it did reach number one in Sweden (where it had been released at the end of 1987) spending 8 weeks at the top of the chart eventually becoming the best selling album of 1988.
