What is the name of ABBA's 1980 album?

The story behind the answer

ABBA's 1980 album is called Super Trouper. Released on November 3, 1980, it was the Swedish group's seventh studio album and became one of the strongest commercial successes of their career.

The album includes major songs such as "The Winner Takes It All," "Lay All Your Love on Me," "Andante, Andante," and the title track. "The Winner Takes It All" preceded the album as a single and became one of ABBA's most enduring dramatic songs, while "Super Trouper" later became a major European hit.

The title refers to a Super Trouper, a powerful spotlight used to illuminate performers in large venues. That idea shaped the album's visual identity: the cover and related imagery show ABBA surrounded by performers and bright stage lights. The record also marked a shift away from the more disco-oriented sound associated with parts of the preceding album, Voulez-Vous.

A common confusion comes from ABBA's album titles. The Album is a 1977 release, Voulez-Vous came out in 1979, and The Visitors followed Super Trouper in 1981. None of those is the group's 1980 album.
