Encyclopedia
"The Name of the Game" is a 1977 song by Swedish

The opening riff on bass and synthesizer is inspired by Stevie Wonder's "I Wish
" from 1976 album Songs in the Key of Life
and both Andersson and Ulvaeus have acknowledged being inspired by Wonder's music during this part of ABBA's career.
A preliminary version of "The Name of the Game" was worked into the 1977 feature film ABBA: The Movie
, for which it was written. When it was eventually finished, it was released as the lead single from The Album in October 1977. Originally, another track entitled "Hole in Your Soul" was intended for release, but those plans were soon shelved. "The Name of the Game" was released with a live version of "I Wonder (Departure)" as the B-side
. This B-side was one of several songs written for the mini-musical The Girl With The Golden Hair, written by Björn Ulvaeus
and Benny Andersson
and originally performed by ABBA on their 1977 world tour. The recording used on the "The Name of the Game" single was recorded at Sydney Showground, Sydney, Australia on 3rd or 4th of March 1977. A studio recorded version of the song was included on "The Album".

It did reach the Top 5 in Belgium
, Finland
, Ireland
, the Netherlands
, New Zealand
, Norway
, South Africa
, Sweden

, while reaching the Top 10 in Australia
, West Germany

. On the Hot 100, where ABBA had not been embraced as strongly as in Europe, "The Name of the Game" bowed at #82 on 24 December 1977 and peaked at #12 on 11-18 March 1978.
An edited version of "The Name of the Game", which omitted the entire second verse of the song, reducing the length of the track from its original 4:51 to 3:58, was released on a promotional single in the USA. The U.S. radio edit of "The Name of the Game" then - apparently by mistake - found its way onto the 1982 Polar Music
compilation The Singles: The First Ten Years
, and then onto a number of hits packages issued on both vinyl & CD in the 1980s & early 1990s. It also appears on the original 1992 version of the group's ABBA Gold: Greatest Hits
album. Not until the 1999 remastered edition of ABBA Gold did the song appear in its entirety on that compilation.
When PolyGram
released the first digitally remastered CD version of The Album in 1997, the fact that one of the nine tracks was nearly a minute shorter than it was supposed to be somehow managed to elude the remastering engineers - the U.S. edit was again used by mistake and the first edition was subsequently withdrawn.
