Here are the Global Chart Positions for 'Live At Wembley Arena'.
IT FAILED TO CHART IN -- Australia, even though they have a Top 100, & everything
by ABBA usually gets into their Album Chart. However, the recent Queen 'Live' Album
only reached No.99 there, & they are seen as far more of a 'Live' Group than ABBA ever
were. If Australia was not much interested in a Queen 'Live' Album, there was not much
chance for an ABBA one there. It also failed to reach the New Zealand Top 40, & the Irish
Top 100. As well as the Norwegian Top 40. (It has yet to Chart in the USA & Canada.
I do not even know if it has been released in those 2 Countries).
UK -- W/E 11th October 2014 -- 30 - 102 - 176
NOTE - It sold 3,503 copies to enter at No.30, & it has sold about 5,000 copies to date.
It is ABBA's least successful UK Top 40 Album. The previous worst performing being
'Waterloo', which was a No.28 Hit in 1974. But that eventually went Silver - 60,000+
UK Sales.
THE REST OF 'LIVE AT WEMBLEY ARENA'S GLOBAL CHART PLACES
(In the order of how many Chart Weeks it had)
(Flanders is the Flemish part of Belgium, & I believe that Flemish is very like Dutch.
Wallonia is the French speaking part of Belgium. Each part has its own Charts).
BELGIUM -- FLANDERS CHART -- 4th October 2014 -- 60 - 16 - 42 - 43 - 51 - 52
BELGIUM -- WALLONIA CHART -- 4th October 2014 -- 195 - 28 - 48 - 55 - 76 - 92
SWITZERLAND -- 5th October 2014 -- 10 - 29 - 45 - 85
DENMARK -- 10th October 2014 -- 16 - 23 - 36 - 40
SWEDEN -- 3rd October 2014 -- 15 - 22 - 45
THE NETHERLANDS -- 4th October 2014 -- 12 - 49 - 69
GERMANY -- 10th October 2014 -- 9 - 50 - 73
AUSTRIA - 10th October 2014 -- 9 - 15 - 33
FRANCE -- 11th October 2014 -- 87
SPAIN -- 5th October 2014 -- 63
FINLAND -- 5th October 2014 -- 50

ABBA Gold falls from No.54 to No.56 in Austria.
It is its 228th Week in the Austrian Top 75, which is the 2nd most ever.
(Beaten only by the 2001 Album, 'Best Of Andrea Berg'. That never got higher
than No.5, but it has spent 619 Weeks in the Austrian Top 75. It is at No.58
this Week. 2 places below 'ABBA Gold').

'Live At Wembley Arena' was not promoted at all in Australia. Unless you were a fan who already knew it was coming, there was no way to know about the release, especially as music stores had either very few or no copies at all.
It could have done much better here with just a little push.

'Mamma Mia!' being staged in Vienna surely has an impact on 'ABBA Gold' climbing in the charts here.

On the Global iTunes Chart ABBA Gold has just risen from No.14 to No.5, with 14,267 Points. It would be at No.4, if the person, who
runs the Site did not regard Gold - Greatest Hits as a different Album. That is at No.153 with 1,507 Points - up from No.198.
In the European iTunes Chart ABBA Gold is up from No.11 to No.4 with 16,637 Points.
Number Ones by Michael Jackson is at No.1 in both the World & European iTunes Charts. Up from No.10 in both Charts.

ABBA Gold is currently the 6th biggest Album on Global iTunes. It is up from No.8 with 13830 Points.
It is also at No.124 as Gold: Greatest Hits - as the person who calculates the iTunes Artist Performance
Charts regards that as a different Album to ABBA Gold. Even though they are the same Album. If the
1802 Points for Gold: Greatest Hits are added to ABBA Gold it would have 15632 Points & be the World's
3rd biggest iTunes Album.
In the European iTunes Chart ABBA Gold is the 3rd biggest Album with 15407 Points.
Happy New Year is currently the World's 105th biggest Song with 2078 Points. Up from No.195.
Australia -- 18 Hits drops from No.76 to No.81 -- It is its 104th Week in the Top 100
Germany -- ABBA Gold climbs from No.86 to No.75 -- It is its 269th Week in the Top 100
Austria -- ABBA Gold rises from No.54 to No.34 -- It is its 234th Week in the Top 75
Switzerland -- In the past 3 Weeks ABBA Gold has done this -- 47 - 44 - 40 -- It has now reached 339 Weeks in the Swiss Top 100

On the final day of 2014, (December 31st), ABBA were the 4th biggest scoring Global iTunes Act.
They scored 18,483 Points. That brought their Total, (since March 2011), to 7,992,084 Points. Which places them in 20th place.
Only 3 Artists scored more Global iTunes Points than ABBA on December 31st 2014. David Guetta scored 20,997 Points.
Ed Sheeran scored 19,838 Points. Taylor Swift scored 18,801 Points.
It is remarkable that ABBA should have managed to be the World's 4th biggest scoring Act, on December 31st 2014, when
they split up at the end of 1982.
