Mark Goodier is the man who’s got the most played ABBA songs as he hosts a new chart on Greatest Hits Radio.
The countdown has been compiled exclusively for the station by UK music licensing company PPL, who have used official performance data from across UK TV and Radio to bring together the 20 ABBA songs that we have loved to listen to the most this century.
Mark told OnTheRadio.co.uk: “It’s hard to think of any other band whose careers started in the last century that has dominated our airwaves as much in this century as ABBA.
“It’s testament to their incredible songwriting that people of all ages still love, listen to and appreciate all of those wonderful hit singles.
“It’s going to be an absolute pleasure to count down this chart this weekend and I can’t wait to reveal which song is at Number One!”
The chart countdown can be heard this afternoon on Greatest Hits Radio at 4pm.
Peter Leathem OBE, CEO PPL added: “It is a privilege to continue ensuring that our performer members are fairly rewarded for their recordings when they are enjoyed by millions across the UK and beyond. The sheer volume of airplay that ABBA still garners across UK TV and Radio is witness to the power of music to embed and endure in the national psyche.
“We were delighted to provide the data on ABBA’s performance in the 21st century so far, and continue to support ABBA’s Bjorn Ulvaeus on his Session tool, designed to capture song information directly as performers lay down future hits in the studio.”
