It took five weeks, but the ABBA-driven soundtrack to Mamma Mia! rose two places to No. 1 on the U.S. albums chart Wednesday.
The Decca Records release sold 130,000 copies in the week ended August 10, becoming the second soundtrack this year to reach the summit, following the Juno soundtrack in January.
The film soundtrack to Mamma Mia! features actors like Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried and Pierce Brosnan belting out ABBA favorites. The film has earned $104 million at the North American box office.
