On this day, November 30, 1981, ABBA released their eighth studio album, The Visitors. This landmark album showcased a more introspective and mature sound, marking a departure from the upbeat pop hits that had defined much of the band’s earlier work.

The Visitors peaked at #29 on the Billboard charts in the US but achieved significant success internationally, reaching #1 in the UK, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, and West Germany. Tracks like “One of Us” and “When All Is Said and Done” reflected the personal struggles and emotional complexity within the group at the time, making it one of their most critically acclaimed albums.
