The song was released as early as 1980 on “Super Trouper,” the seventh studio album by the Swedish pop icons. It also aired for the first time on Swedish television on New Year’s Eve 1980.
Today, “Happy New Year” has long since achieved cult status and is a musical tradition for many at the turn of the year.
This year’s collector’s edition of ABBA’s “Happy New Year” is being released in a brand-new vinyl format (4-inch “tiny vinyl”). The cover design is inspired by the original British single release from 1980.
