Greatest Hits Vol. 2 (ABBA album)

A round-up of ABBA's hits since their first Greatest Hits album (released in 1975), the album exclusively included material recorded between 1976 and 1979: from Arrival, The Album, Voulez-Vous, and the non-album single "Summer Night City"). The only exception was "Rock Me", from the 1975 ABBA album, which was issued as a single, became a top 5 hit in Australia and New Zealand after the release of Greatest Hits, and was also included as part of their 1979 world tour set list.

"Angeleyes" was included primarily due to its success as a single in the UK, where it was released as a double A-side with "Voulez-Vous".^{[citation needed]} Although "Voulez-Vous" had been released as a single in other parts of the world, it was not included on the album. "I Wonder (Departure)", a track not released as a single (excluding the live version that served as the B-side to "The Name of the Game"), was also featured.

Greatest Hits Vol. 2 was released on CD in 1982 by Polydor but was deleted from their ABBA CD range in 1992 when it was replaced with ABBA Gold. It was also released in the US by Atlantic Records in 1983 with the same mastering as the Polydor CD but was discontinued there in the late 1980s as well.^{[citation needed]}

Greatest Hits Vol. 2 was certified Gold in the U.S. by the Recording Industry Association of America.
