Hate or not - when was the last time our band (RS) landed a new single on UK Top Ten first week of release?

Okay, thanks I didn't know that. I thought maybe "Living in a Ghost Town" did well on the lists. Hard to compare I guess since there are so many different lists these days.

And that's the only thing that matters, right?
Some people here always seem to find a way to put down the Stones.
If one is happy about the great success of some oldie's Swedish disco band in today's pop charts, what a @#$%& that has to do with The Rolling Stones? Now the Stones mean a shit since ABBA made top ten in some bloody chart?
Oh jeez...
We just lost Charlie Watts and people are coming with that shit.
Bitch, bitch, bitch... There always must be a new way to bitch about the Stones... Just wait a litte bit.. Someone out there is doing something we can once again put down the Stones..

If the girls had been allowed to participate more in the songwriting it would have been better.

You're right, Dutch. Agneta did a lot of songwriting before and after ABBA though. I guess I meant input. They should have been more involved in the making of the album.
But you're right, Benny makes the songs and Björn puts words to them. He seems to have forgotten how to make catchy pop songs though.
Nice words from Superdeluxe edition about these numbers.Quote

The CD is the Format-That-Must-Not-Be-Named, quite clearly.
It is possible to master CD without brickwalling. All in the hands of the engineer at the console.Quote

Because of the possibility of bad Mastering.
Vinyl on the other hand cannot be 'brickwalled' due to physical limitations, as mentioned by yourself - [iorr.org] .
