Hi to everyone at ABBA chat .
I'm trying to find out what awards from the BPI have been awarded to ABBA since 2004 for sales in the UK .
Both singles and album awards , I know of the official awards made to abba from 1974 to 1995 but would like the information on awards presented for sales from then on .
Can anyone help me with the information , regards Mark a diehard UK abba fan aged 62 😀

Very interested information, although I’m not sure how 853k is more than 874k!

Looking further into the 200,000 "sales" which of course are almost all Streaming equivalent sales
30,000 by week 1. Actually, sales were 26k in first charting week but don't forget released on a Thursday. Add downloads and streams. CD sales in week 1 about 3k and downloads about 4k.
100,000 by end of year. Sales of both DSMD and ISHFIY were reported in Mudic Week, the latter had 70k then
200 000 by mid July 2024.
The Day Before You Came despite being available to download since 2004 and for at least 8 years to stream has so far failed to get a silver disc.
Perhaps not as popular as its ardent supporters want or think.
