The Swedish band's long-awaited Voyage - their first album of new material for 40 years - shot straight to number one, earning them the biggest opening week of sales for any album in four years.
Its 204,000 first-week chart sales is the highest since Ed Sheeran's Divide.
Abba's last studio album, 1981's The Visitors, also topped the chart.
The former Eurovision winners have since hit number one with their greatest hits collections, The Singles and Gold.
