Thanks, Fido! How about the ones in your post? Are they ready to be sent or do some also need recent songs added?

I'd probably add Abracadabra to Lady Gaga's list.
1. Bad Romance
2. Poker Face
3. Shallow
4. Just Dance
5. Die with a Smile
6. Telephone
7. Born this Way
8. Abracadabra
9. Paparazzi
10. Rain On Me

Cool. The Lady Gaga edit is noted. Unless there's further changes, I'll just send all those lists to lew later today.

Of course I had forgotten about this and only sent them just now.

Abba (revision)
1. Dancing Queen
2. Waterloo
3. The Winner Takes it All
4. Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)
5. Mamma Mia
6. SOS
7. Take a Chance On Me
8. Knowing Me, Knowing You
9. Money, Money, Money
10. Fernando

"Mamma Mia" looks low. Pretty big culturally. The title song for the stage musical and blockbuster films that helped re-introduce ABBA to new generations.

Without looking at charts or anything I can see it at #4.

I'd still have Waterloo at #2, too important for them to drop.

I moved Mamma Mia to 5, I think WTiA is more popular and acclaimed than Waterloo.

How? Waterloo has higher chart peaks, more certified copies sold, while being the song that made them famous, unlike Winner that had the help of their stablished fame. I see it has more plays in Spotify but it's not a huge difference, same with acclaim, they are in the same range on AM.

The Winner Takes it All also has about twice as many views on Youtube.

So:
Initial: Waterloo (still seems fairly close)
Lasting: Winner
Acclaim: Winner (also pretty close)
Influence: Waterloo

Ok, I guess I'm fine with Waterloo ahead.
