Super Trouper is the seventh studio album by the Swedish pop group ABBA, released on 3 November 1980 via Polar Music. A pop and pop rock record, it was the last album to be recorded while members Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Benny Andersson were married, as the two would divorce in 1981. The album's title is taken from the spotlight of the same name.
Super Trouper received a positive reception from music critics, and has even been named by some as their best studio album. It was a hugely successful album, becoming the United Kingdom's best-selling album of 1980 despite the late release into the year. Reportedly, the album received one million advance orders in the country. Elsewhere, the album topped charts in Belgium, the Netherlands, Finland, Germany, Norway, and the group's native Sweden. The album has reportedly sold over eight million copies worldwide.
