Your favourite ABBA tracks: #4 One Of Us

A failed bid for the 1981 Christmas number one, making only #3, but for three consecutive weeks,, stalled behind The Human League’s ‘Don’t You Want Me?’ and Cliff’s ‘Daddy’s Home’ at #1 and #2 respectively for every single one of those weeks. Along with ‘The Winner Takes It All’, one of their great, tear-jerking ‘divorce songs’. And yet, it’s also an anthemic singalong. They were clever, those ABBA boys. Taken from ‘The Visitors’; their last album of original material, which did hit the top in the album chart, this track turned out to be ABBA’s final top ten single in the UK.
