Voyage is ABBA’s ninth and final studio album. It was the group’s first release in 40 years following 1981’s The Visitors. The album’s 10 songs were written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus and the tracklist includes “I Still Have Faith in You,” “Don’t Shut Me Down,” “Just a Notion,” and “Little Things.” The record became the group’s highest-charting album in Canada and the United States, debuting at No. 2 in both.

Voyage was nominated for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album at the 2023 Grammy Awards. “Don’t Shut Me Down” was nominated for Record of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance; “I Still Have Faith in You” had previously been nominated for Record of the Year. Voyage was the UK’s best-selling vinyl album in 2021.

Meanwhile, “Happy New Year” has been a perennial favorite since its release in January 1980 on Super Trouper. ABBA have regularly released limited edition singles in a variety of colors including gold, translucent blue, and, at one point, silver glitter.

Over the years, “Happy New Year” has become a classic in Vietnam, where it is beloved across generations and soundtracks contexts beyond the holidays. In 1969, Sweden, ABBA’s home, became the first western nation to establish diplomatic relations with Vietnam. “Happy New Year”’s message of hope and perseverance resonated with the Vietnamese people: “May we all have a vision now and then/Of a world where every neighbor is a friend.”
