Voulez-Vous (pronounced ; French for "Do you want?") is the sixth studio album by the Swedish group ABBA, released in 1979. It features a number of hits such as "Chiquitita", "Does Your Mother Know" and "I Have a Dream" and showed the group embrace disco music, which was at its peak at the time. The album peaked at N. in a number of countries and was one of the top five-selling albums in the UK for that year.

Voulez-Vous was first released on CD in 1984. 3 CD re-issues, bonus tracks.

Besides the song's title (which is French for "Do you want"), this song also contains the line "La question c'est voulez-vous," which means "The question is do you want" in French. The working title for this song was "Amerika. This song reached in Belgium and the Top 10 in the UK, France, Ireland, Netherlands, South Africa, Spain and Switzerland

That it took nearly a year to record Voulez-Vous is an indicator of the creative and personal constraints in which the four members of ABBA found themselves at the end of the '70s. Their sixth album coincided with the marital split between Agnetha Fältskog and Björn Ulvaeus and the massively shifting currents in popular music, with disco, which had been on the wane, suddenly undergoing a renaissance thanks to the 1977 movie Saturday Night Fever. Thus, about half of Voulez-Vous shows the heavy influence of the Bee Gees from their megahit disco era.

Voulez-Vous, their first album recorded at Polar Studios in Stockholm, smashed straight to the top to begin a four-week reign and a 43-week stay among the bestsellers. Listen to Voulez-Vous right now. Just to underline the might of the super-Swedes by this time, the album had gone silver, gold and platinum in Britain even before it made the charts. Within five weeks, it was in a million UK homes. The Voulez-Vous album ensured that ABBA spent almost the whole of 1979 on the singles and album charts around the world. In the UK, those introductory singles were among no fewer than five hits from the LP that year, all of them top five successes but none of them No. 1s. Those other hits were the double-sided single that paired ‘Angeleyes’ and the title song, then came the non-album track ‘Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
