Reception
Compared to ABBA's hits both before and after, "Voulez-Vous" was not a major hit for the group. It did top the charts in Belgium, while reaching the Top 5 in Great Britain, Ireland and The Netherlands. It peaked at No. 9 in France, South Africa, Spain and Switzerland, but failed to make the Top 10 anywhere else.
