ABBA Sees A Trio Of Career-Defining Hit Songs Return Together
ABBA is back on the Official Physical Singles chart this week with several classic tunes, showing that decades after first becoming superstars, the Swedish pop musicians still sell in impressive numbers. Three of the quartet's most beloved singles return to the tally, which ranks the top-selling cuts on any physical format – and as they rebound, British citizens once again show their love for the once-maligned outfit. 'SOS,' 'So Long,' and 'Mamma Mia' Return Three ABBA favorites — 'SOS,' 'So Long,' and 'Mamma Mia' — all find space on the Official Physical Singles chart this frame. 'SOS' leads the pack at No. 57, followed by 'So Long' at No. 81 and 'Mamma Mia' just behind that latter cut at No. 82. Each one of those tunes has only been away for a less than a month. All Three Have Hit the Top 10 Before While their current positions are fairly modest, each ABBA's returning cuts has previously broken into the Official Physical Singles chart's top 10, though they stalled in different spots. 'So Long' once climbed to No. 3, 'SOS' peaked at No. 5, and 'Mamma Mia' reached No. 4. Coincidentally, all three have now spent exactly four weeks on this ranking, even though they've stepped away in the past. Four ABBA Singles Debuted in June All three ABBA tracks that currently appear on the Official Physical Singles tally originally debuted back in June. At the same time, the Grammy-nominated group also launched 'I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do' inside the top 10, though that single does not reappear on the roster this time. Gold Still Performing Well Across Multiple Rankings ABBA's singles success pairs well with continued power on the albums tallies in the U.K. The group's Gold – Greatest Hits compilation holds at No. 21 on the Official Albums chart, where it has now spent more than 1,200 weeks. It also sits inside the top 40 on both the streaming and downloads rankings. The band even manages to fill two spaces on the Official Album Downloads chart with different versions of Gold.

BTS Star Jin's Solo Track Don't Say You Love Me Tops UK Official Chart
Last Updated: Jin's Don't Say You Love Me has soared in popularity, debuting at No. 1 on the UK's Official Chart just weeks after its release. Jin was the last BTS member to debut as a solo artist, following in the footsteps of his bandmates who had already released individual albums. In November 2024, he unveiled his first solo project, Happy. Just six months later, Jin made a powerful comeback with a new release titled Echo, which has garnered even more attention, particularly in the United Kingdom. One of the standout tracks, Don't Say You Love Me, has seen immense success, debuting at No. 1 on the UK's Official Chart just weeks after its release. With this achievement, Jin has cemented his place on the global stage as a solo artist, making history once again. According to reports, Jin's latest song Don't Say You Love Me is currently at number 1 on the Official Physical Singles Chart. The track has gained huge attention and has managed to beat several other popular songs to reach the top. Some of the songs that passed include What The Hell Just Happened by Remember Monday, Latin Dynamite by Kevin Fingier Collective, Ed Sheeran's Aziza, Lackluster Writing Makes Fundamental by Makeshift Art Bar and All I Ever Asked by Rachel Chinouriri, among others. Don't Say You Love Me marks Jin's second solo entry on the Official Chart. His first was Running Wild, released in November 2024, which debuted at number 6 but only stayed for one week before vanishing. Unlike last year's track, the latest song from Echo has made a much bigger impact. It not only came on top at the Physical Singles Chart but also reached number 1 on the Official Singles Downloads charts. Along with Don't Say You Love Me, Jin's new album, Echo, includes seven more songs. The full tracklist features Nothing Without Your Love, Loser, Rope It, Background, With the Clouds and To Me, Today. Jin is now getting ready to reunite with the rest of the BTS members, RM, V, Jungkook, Suga and Jimin, as they are expected to complete their military service by the end of June. The singer was the first to be discharged, and soon after, J-Hope also completed his service last year. Since then, J-Hope has stayed active in music and even held his own concert tour, Hope on the Stage, which is set to wrap up on June 1. First Published:

British K-pop group Dear Alice returns with 'Sweet'
SM Entertainment's first-ever British boy group, Dear Alice, is back with a new track. On Friday, the group released its second single 'Sweet' across global music platforms. The song is an upbeat and charming pop track that perfectly suits the summer season. SM Entertainment described 'Sweet' as a sleek, up-tempo pop song inspired by early 2000s pop icons such as The Neptunes and Justin Timberlake. The track features funky percussion and guitar riffs, as well as hints of British culture hidden in lyrics that add a playful, localized touch. "Sweet" was crafted by an international team of hitmakers, including singer-songwriter and producer Jesse Saint John and producer Pink Slip. Dear Alice made a strong debut in February with its first single 'Ariana,' which quickly climbed to No. 2 on the UK Official Physical Singles Chart and No. 3 in Singles Sales, within just a week of release. The group was also spotlighted on BBC Radio 1's 'Future Pop' segment as a rising global artist. The group has also been gaining live experience as part of SM Town Live, sharing the stage with other SM artists. They have already performed in Seoul, Mexico City and Los Angeles, and are set to take the stage in London on June 28.
