Online, there was footage of crowds listening to the songs for the first time: in a hot spring in Iceland in Stockholm’s Gröna Lund amusement park in front of St Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna. The Sydney Harbour Bridge was illuminated in their honour (Abba were always huge in Australia) and BBC radio moved their 6pm news bulletin in order to premiere two new tracks, I Still Have Faith in You and Don’t Shut Me Down. The promotion machine went into full swing.
