ABBA Nearly Charts A Brand New No. 1 Hit
ABBA has long been known as a singles act, with many of the group's tunes proving far more popular decades after their release than the band's traditional albums. Throughout the years the Swedish musicians were together, they produced dozens of popular cuts, some of which remain among the most successful in pop music history.
Multiple ABBA tracks reappear on the charts in the United Kingdom this week after the group reissued them on vinyl. The superstars almost claim a new No. 1 as a decades-old composition surges on the charts.
ABBA Misses No. 1 By One Space
ABBA scores four new top 10 hits on the Official Vinyl Singles chart this week, and remarkably, the group's titles appear one after another in a hugely successful streak. The band nearly secures a new leader, but just misses the throne as "So Long" opens at No. 2. The Official Vinyl Singles tally is led instead by Biffy Clyro, whose "A Little Love" launches at No. 1.
Three Additional New Top 10 Hits
As "So Long" starts in the runner-up space, three other ABBA cuts follow closely behind in the next trio of positions. "Mamma Mia," "SOS," and "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do" debut at Nos. 3, 4, and 5, respectively this week.
ABBA's Dozens of Top 10 Smashes
ABBA has now snagged an impressive 33 top 10 hits on the Official Vinyl Singles tally. That roundup includes six No. 1 smashes, including iconic releases like "Waterloo," "Ring Ring," "Lay All Your Love on Me," and the more recent release "I Still Have Faith in You," all of which have spent at least one frame at the summit.
ABBA's Vinyl Reissues
After ABBA issued "Mamma Mia," "So Long," "SOS," and "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do" on collectible vinyl, those tracks also manage to debut inside the top 10 on the Official Physical Singles chart, though they rank in slightly different positions than on the vinyl list.
Each composition also becomes an immediate top 40 bestseller on the all-format, all-genre Official Singles Sales tally. On that roster, "Mamma Mia" was the top performer, as it enters at No. 22. "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do" followed at No. 32, with "So Long" and "SOS" sandwiched between the two.

Andy Cohen told Liam Neeson that Pamela Anderson reminded him of late Natasha Richardson
Andy Cohen stans Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson. The reality TV icon, 57, recapped the news that the 'Naked Gun' co-stars are allegedly dating on Wednesday's episode of his 'Radio Andy' show. 'You know, Natasha was a dear friend of mine and I'm gonna tell you something,' Cohen said, referring to Neeson's late wife, Natasha Richardson. 12 Natasha Richardson, Andy Cohen in New York City in 2005. Patrick McMullan via Getty Images 'I, and all of the friends in this circle, are very much stanning whatever this is. Shipping,' Cohen stated. The 'Real Housewives' producer pointed out that 'it's been 16 years' since Richardson died at age 45 in a skiing accident. 'As I was telling him at the premiere party, I go, 'Liam, she is an independent woman, just like Tash was. She loves to cook. She has her own thing going on. She has two boys,'' Cohen explained. 12 Pamela Anderson, Liam Neeson at 'The Naked Gun' premiere in NYC on July 28.

Like what she's been through and how she kind of reclaimed herself and redefined herself.' Cohen became good friends with Richardson through mutual pal John Benjamin Hickey. At the time of her death in 2009, the 'Parent Trap' actress was married to Neeson for 15 years. They had two sons together: Micheál Richardson, 30, and Daniel Neeson, 28. 12 Pamela Anderson, Liam Neeson in 'The Naked Gun.' AP 12 Andy Cohen, Liam Neeson on 'Watch What Happens Live' in 2010.

A source claimed that the pair's 'budding romance [is] in the early stages' and that they're 'enjoying each other's company.' 'It's sincere,' the insider added, 'and it's clear they're smitten with each other.' 12 Liam Neeson, Natasha Richardson at the opening of 'A Streetcar Named Desire' in 2005.

Earlier this month, Anderson told Entertainment Weekly: 'I think I have a friend forever in Liam, and we definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving, and he's a good guy.' Neeson, for his part, quipped to People in October that he was 'madly in love' with Anderson. 12 Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson with their sons at 'The Naked Gun' premiere in NYC on July 28.

How Sharon Osbourne and her kids each paid tribute to Ozzy at funeral procession
Mama, he's coming home. The Osbournes put on a united front as they honored Ozzy Osbourne at his funeral procession in his UK hometown on Wednesday. Sharon Osbourne, her kids Jack, Kelly and Aimee, and her stepson Louis all broke down in tears as they said goodbye to the heavy metal icon alongside thousands of fans in streets of Birmingham, England. 14 Sharon Osbourne surrounded by her family at Ozzy's funeral procession.

Ozzy, who was suffering from Parkinson's diagnosis and other ailments, made his funeral wishes clear before he died. 'I do want to make sure it's a celebration, not a mope-fest,' he said in a Dear Ozzy column for The Times of London in 2011. 'I'd also like some pranks: maybe the sound of knocking inside the coffin; or a video of me asking my doctor for a second opinion on his diagnosis of 'death,'' the musician added. 'There'll be no harping on the bad times.' 14 Ozzy Osbourne performs at the 2022 NFL season opening game. Getty Images 14 The Osbournes give the peace sign to fans at Ozzy's funeral procession.

'She's been the rock of this family for decades, and now it's her turn to be held up.' Meanwhile, Kelly broke her silence after Ozzy's passing on her Instagram Stories last Thursday. 'I feel unhappy I am so sad. I lost the best friend I ever had 💔,' the former 'Fashion Police' co-host wrote. The quotes referenced lyrics from Black Sabbath's 'Changes.'

Oleg Cassini's former NYC home now asks $7.99M
A Gramercy Park townhouse once owned by the late Oleg Cassini — Jackie O's favorite fashion designer who was linked romantically to some of the world's most beautiful women — is about to go back on the market with a million-dollar price slash. It will ask $7.99 million. The four-story, 20-foot-wide spread, at 135 E. 19th St., first hit the market for $13.95 million last year, before the price was cut to $8.95 million. It was last purchased at auction for $5 million in 2022. 'It's a bad-ass Gothic party house, with something in every corner — from gargoyles to an imported fountain and wallpaper in the closet,' said listing broker and reality TV star Eleonora Srugo, of Douglas Elliman, who will be representing the home with Elliman's Bernardo Metsch. 8 The residence is replete with historical touches, including stained glass on every floor. Edward Menashy at Evan Joseph Photo 8 The dining room also has stained glass, which pairs with beamed ceilings overhead. Edward Menashy at Evan Joseph Photo 8 Oleg Cassini hosted many a party inside. Getty Images 'Someone should restore it to its glory,' she added. This is where Cassini, a notorious playboy, held glamorous parties and dressed his famous clients, who also included Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly, his former fiancée. 'If you love old-school New York, this house has a great history,' Srugo said. The 6,798-square-foot dwelling comes with six bedrooms, 5.5 baths, stained glass on every floor. Once known as the Joseph B. Thomas House — named for a 19th-century sugar mogul's philanthropic heir — it appears to be a Greek Revival home, built in the 1870s. Thomas, who traveled to Russia to bring back and breed 'royal' Russian Borzoi dogs, hired English-born architect Frederick Junius Sterner to remodel the home and transform it into a 'Gothic fantasy … [with] crouching gargoyles and a carved coat of arms,' according to the Daytonian in Manhattan blog. Design details also include decorative stone inlays, and carved paneling and arches. An entry foyer opens with a Flemish pattern stone floor and leads to the living room, which was once called the 'Italian Room,' with a barrel-vaulted ceiling, filigree plasterwork, wood-paneled walls and a large stone fireplace. A garden boasts a working fountain and areas for interior plantings under a glass solarium roof. There's also a chef's kitchen, a prep kitchen, a dumbwaiter, two staircases and a laundry center, along with a large dining room, and a brick-and-tile wine cellar and tasting room. 8 Wood paneling and a brick fireplace enhance the handsome touches. Edward Menashy at Evan Joseph Photo 8 A view of the layout. Edward Menashy at Evan Joseph Photo 8 Stained glass also accents this massive bedroom. Edward Menashy at Evan Joseph Photo The upstairs bedroom floors include ensuite baths and dressing rooms. Thomas himself was also known for hosting parties, including on St. Patrick's Day, when all decorations were green. He also held charity dance galas to raise money for Europe in World War I, sent cows to Europe after the war and planted maple trees on the block along with the first gingko tree — and was president of the Gramercy Park Association, according to the Daytonian in Manhattan blog. But current and past listings also claim that the home has an unusual origin story. They say it was actually built 400 years ago in Amsterdam, and that the 17th-century property was dismantled and shipped first to New York's Upper West Side, where it was reassembled in 1845, and then moved again to Gramercy Park in 1910, where it was 'completed' by Sterner. If true, it would appear to be the city's only 17th-century Dutch home transplanted to New York by ship to be reassembled here in the 19th century. 8 A kitchen detail in the townhouse. Edward Menashy at Evan Joseph Photo 8 The house is filled with original details, including beautiful carved wood and the staircase. Edward Menashy at Evan Joseph Photo And yet, there are some who believe it. 'We felt pretty confident about the 400-year-old claims when we did the research. It was pretty well documented,' said an insider with knowledge of a past listing. As for the current listing, Srugo told Gimme Shelter it may be more likely that some of the home was shipped to New York and not all of it. Like the house, the late Cassini — who died at age 92 in 2006 — also has an interesting backstory. He was the grandson of a Russian-Italian count and the tsar's last ambassador to China before the Russian Revolution. He also dressed Hollywood stars including Joan Fontaine and Joan Crawford. As he told the New York Post in 1961, 'My philosophy is this: Do not tamper with the anatomy of a woman's body; do not camouflage it. I don't want every woman to look like a little boy.'
