ABBA Head Over Heels (HD Video)

"Head Over Heels" was released on 5 February 1982 (19 March 1982 in Scandinavia), as the group's popularity was starting to decline, and became ABBA's worst selling single since "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do", seven years earlier. It peaked at number 25 on the UK Singles Chart, breaking a run of 18 consecutive Top 10 hits (from "SOS" in October 1975 to "One of Us" in December 1981). This 18-hit run had equaled that of The Beatles, who had consecutive Top 10 hits from 1964 (with "A Hard Day's Night") to 1976 (with "Yesterday"), broken by "Back in the U.S.S.R.". Although "Head Over Heels" did experience Top 10 success in Belgium (number 3), the Netherlands (number 1), Austria (number 4), Poland (6) and France, by this time, ABBA's chart domination was all but over, and the group effectively disbanded a year later. The song was excluded from their retrospective double LP The Singles: The First Ten Years, which was released in late 1982. As with the previous single "One of Us", Epic Records in the UK used a different picture sleeve from the standard one used in most countries. The single itself was not released in the United States; it was accompanied as the B-side to another single "The Visitors" instead. The song's video, filmed on 21 January 1982, was the group's final clip directed by long-time collaborator Lasse Hallström, who cameos as a man the woman bumps into while running around the city.
