The Definitive Collection (ABBA album)

The Definitive Collection is a compilation album by Swedish pop group ABBA, released in 2001. It comprises two CDs featuring a comprehensive selection of their singles, album tracks, and notable B-sides, presented in chronological order. The album was released to capitalize on the renewed interest in ABBA following the success of the musical Mamma Mia! and subsequent film adaptation.

The first disc generally covers ABBA's earlier material, from "People Need Love" through their 1977 album Arrival. The second disc covers the latter part of their career, from 1978's The Album to their final single release, "The Day Before You Came."

The Definitive Collection proved to be a commercially successful release, reaching high positions in various charts worldwide and reinforcing ABBA's enduring popularity. It is considered a good overview of their career for new listeners as well as a nostalgic collection for existing fans.
