The Best of ABBA is a compilation greatest hits album by Swedish pop group ABBA, released in November 1975 in Australia, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Norway, and in 1976 in Austria and India. Globally ABBA released Greatest Hits. The album topped the charts in Australia, Austria and New Zealand, and went on to be certified 24x Platinum in New Zealand and 22x Platinum in Australia. The album is tied with Dire Straits' album Brothers in Arms for being the best-selling album in that country.

Contents

In Australia it spent 16 weeks at number one, and in New Zealand it topped the charts for 18 weeks. The Best of ABBA was one of the biggest selling vinyl albums in Australian history, selling over a million copies. At one stage RCA Records couldn’t keep up with the demand for the albums in the country's shops, and copies had to be pressed under licence by a rival record company. In both countries, this album charted better than all the other ABBA releases.

The Best of ABBA was re-released in 1988 on vinyl and CD, but was only available for a short time.
