ABBA's 1992 greatest hits collection 'Gold' is officially the longest-reigning album on the UK Top 100.

Placing at Number 17 this week (2 July), 'Gold' is the first album to achieve the 1000-week milestone in UK chart history.

Celebrating the incredible achievement, Björn Ulvaeus told OfficialCharts.com: "Amazing!", while Benny Andersson quipped: "Not bad for 4 turnips".

Released in September 1992, 'Gold' debuted at Number 1 and has gone on to be the UK's second best-selling album of all time. A remastered issue of 'Gold' in 1999 to celebrate 25 years since ABBA's Eurovision Song Contest victory sent it back to Number 1 for five non-consecutive weeks, with the album returning to the summit again for two weeks in 2008 around the release of the 'Mamma Mia!' film. In total, the collection has spent eight non-consecutive weeks at Number 1 across a span of 19 years. 

Showing no signs of slowing down, the album re-entered to the Top 10 in 2018 to coincide with 'Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again' and has appeared in the Top 40 every week in 2021 so far.
