#23 - More ABBA Gold
The following Chart Entry should be moved from here to #14 (More ABBA Gold). Germany 9 - 6 weeks (June 1993).
That looks correct, there are multiple entries for some charts, so the German entry for 1993 should be "More ABBA Gold" but the two 2008 entries will stay as "More ABBA Gold - More ABBA Hits" since they seem to be distinct.
Thanks for the suggestion
