Were you paying attention when I said that Twilight series books have shipped ~110 million units in 1/4th the time it took ABBA to get to 200 million records?
Funnily, we're only talking about ABBA today because a fan of ABBA (and there are fans of everything) brought it up, and we're talking to them. We don't have to
I really doubt that every post here might turn someone new onto them... we have youtube and various other methods by which to preview music before we buy it. Someone can easily see if they want something or don't nowadays, and it doesn't take blindly buying an entire album (usually for 1-4 songs on it) just to try it out.
AGAIN. And I'm trying to speak plainly to you...
This has sold *half* the units that ABBA has moved in 40 years... in 10 years. In 40 years, it's wholly possible that it will have sold more than twice what ABBA has managed in the same amount of time (of 40 years). This is without counting soundtrack sales or movie sales or anything (which have grossed considerably higher than Mama Mia)... it's the book series.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
