Abba-esque

}}
''Abba-esque'' is an EP by the British pop duo Erasure. Released in 1992, it was their first and only number one on the UK Singles Chart.
As big fans of the Swedish group ABBA, Erasure (Vince Clarke and Andy Bell) had often performed ABBA songs in concert over the years. They had originally planned to release an album of ABBA covers, but instead opted to release an EP of four of ABBA's best known hits.
==Background==
Mute Records released ''Abba-esque'' in the UK, while Elektra Records released it in the US. Music videos were produced for all four tracks, and issued as a video EP on VHS.
Shortly after the release, the greatest hits album ''ABBA Gold'' was released sparking a revival of ABBA's music that has endured well into the 21st century.
At the time, four-track EPs were eligible for inclusion in the UK singles chart. After peaking at number two twice (with "Sometimes" in 1986 and ''Crackers International'' in 1988), Erasure finally reached number one with this release, remaining there for five weeks. In Germany the EP peaked at number two. In the US, where EPs chart on the ''Billboard'' 200, ''Abba-esque'' peaked at number eighty-five. Although never officially released as a single by itself, the song "Take a Chance on Me", which featured a guest rap by MC Kinky, received significant radio play in the US At the time, ''Billboard'' Hot 100 policy prevented songs not released as singles from entering the chart, although the track did reach number 51 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart. In Sweden, the EP peaked at number 1 staying there for six consecutive weeks.
A remix EP was also released as a promotional "DJ only" release (ERAS4) by Mute Records in the UK which featured the same four songs in heavily reworked form.
The release of the ''Abba-esque'' EP in due course precipitated the release of a similar EP, ''Erasure-ish'', by the ABBA tribute band Björn Again, which featured two Erasure tracks ("A Little Respect" and "Stop!") performed in the style of ABBA as an answer record.
