Take a Chance on Me

Take a Chance on Me by ABBA was a UK number 1 hit on Saturday, February 18, 1978 spending 3 week(s) at the top of the UK charts. Bjorn Ulvaeus enjoyed jogging and as he ran he sang a "tck-a-ch"-style rhythm to himself. This evolved into the line "Take a Chance on Me," around which he wrote the rest of the words. This was also #1 in Austria, Belgium, Ireland and Mexico. Although unlike "Dancing Queen" this didn't top the US chart, it did sell more than the chart topper. The working title was "Billy Boy."
