So shmaltzy and waltzy, but it works for me. ABBA is so good at capturing moods and states of mind. 8 |

What kind of masterpiece is "The Visitors"?  Love their art rock/synth-pop fusion. |
I have a weird relationship with that song. Right now I can't stand it.  |
It's sad, today I would have given it a 10. I should've taken that into consideration.

My favorite ABBA song. Simply fantastic. The emotion. The melody. The way the subject is handled. Y'all can't appreciate GENIUS. 10 |

Oh no! I had a feeling Summer Night City was leaving us today, highly underrated. One of their best hooks.
When the night comes with the action
I just know it's time to go
Can't resist the strange attraction
From that giant dynamo

That's the last one for today.
It'll get really interesting with #20-11. We're getting into the more beloved songs. 
I'll reveal the next ten at 8pm EST tomorrow.

Why did things turn out so bad? Was it just a dream, everything we did, everything we had?
Dance (While The Music Still Goes On) is a cute one, but I'm glad it missed the top 20.

I got 8 out of the 10 right, seems like my crystal ball worked.  I wasn't ready for Ring Ring and I Have A Dream to leave though. 
Should have known better about Does Your Mother Know though.

Alright, maybe not a 10, but at least an 8. I've had it on repeat lately. I think I'm slowly finding its genius. My score was highly inappropriate considering I don't usually hate it that much.

Only elimination that I have disagreed with is Happy New year. I feel 37 is wayyyyyy too low.

Hole in Your Soul 
Rock Me
figured they'd be out sooner than they deserved though. I may not love all the songs left in the Top 20, but they've all earned their spot, they're the hits.

That's why I've decided to bop my way through tonight's eliminations.
I've got Spotify all set up. Voulez-Vous already on full blast.
NOT making the top 10.

Let's see how my crystal ball works today, the songs in bold are the songs I suspect to leave us today. Not really sure though about Money, Money, Money, I never really liked that track that much, but for some reason I feel like it might still end up in the Top 10 replacing Voulez-Vous. One Of Us deserves Top 10 too, but I feel that's more of a personal favourite.

Let's hope SOS, Super Trouper and Voulez-Vous replaces Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!, One of Us, and Knowing Me, Knowing You
