According to the best chart information I have, ABBA never scored a #1 hit in Japan. The highest chart position of an ABBA release in Japan was #17, for "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme" in 1979. This is perhaps ironic in that the first signs of international success for ABBA came in 1972, when a recording called "She's My Kind of Girl", reached #1 on the Japanese radio chart and sold almost 200,000 copies. However the single wasn't truly an ABBA release: it had been first released in Sweden in early 1970 and was credited only to Bjorn and Benny; Agnetha and Frida did not appear on the record.

ABBA's albums fared better in Japan. Voulez-Vous was the fifth biggest selling abum in Japan in 1979 and Greatest Hits Volume 2 was the third biggest album of 1980.
