Puzzle Description:

Enormously popular worldwide, this group's USA reception was curiously lukewarm until about twenty years after they disbanded, when their fame unexpectedly spiked and has remained at an elite level.

After I did the top right I recognized the song and the group immediately, so although I found the solve challenging I knew where it was going. I've solved all your album puzzles and they've all been great fun, but this is the only one I recognized right away. Puzzles in the puzzles, and for once I'm even enjoying these earworms. Thanks, Bruce!

Fun solve, but not sure about the pictures. Is it ABBA's Arrival?

If this is ABBA, they released a new album in 2021 -- their first new album in forty years. It's called Voyage.

Yes, this is Abba's album Arrival. Congratulations, Joanna, on breaking David's "first to solve" stranglehold. Valerie, I have listened to Voyage just once so I can't say I know it, but listening to that album was stunning. It sounded like the last thing I expected it to sound like: Vintage Abba from the 1970's (I understand a lot of that was studio trickery with the girls' voices, but boy, that Benny Andersson remains a genius with melodies)!
