"Felicidad"
Cover for Argentinian release

The Spanish-language version of the song, "Felicidad",[3] was released in 1980 in Spanish-speaking territories.[4] The single reportedly charted in the top 5 in Argentina and was included on the South American versions of the Super Trouper album.[5] It was first released on CD as part of the 1994 Polydor US compilation Más ABBA Oro, and in 1999 on the expanded re-release of ABBA Oro: Grandes Éxitos.

In 1999, the English version of the song was re-released for the new millennium, and charted at number 27 in Sweden, number 15 in the Netherlands and number 75 in Germany.[1][6][7]

In 2008, it was released again in several countries, and charted at number 4 in Sweden, number 11 in Norway and number 25 in Denmark.[1][8][9] It re-entered the Swedish and Norwegian charts in 2009 at number 5 in both charts and number 8 in the Netherlands in 2011.[1][8][6] It has since gone on to regularly chart in some countries upon the turn of the new year.[1][6][7] The song also became a staple of the new year (and Lunar New Year) period in Vietnam.[10]

In December 2011, a silver glitter vinyl single limited to 500 pieces was released including the songs "Happy New Year" and "The Way Old Friends Do". The edition was available from the official ABBA site and the ABBA fan site only. It was sold out within the day of announcing the release.[11]

Upon the release of ABBA: The 40th Anniversary Singles Box Set on 5 May 2014, an alternate mix of "Andante, Andante" was revealed to have been used on the B-side of the single in the boxset instead of the original album version.

The song was covered by the A-Teens, released as a single in 1999. The single was released to celebrate the arrival of the new millennium, which explains the last line in the song's third verse being altered to "in the end of ninety-nine"; as opposed to the original's "in the end of eighty-nine". It reached number 4 on the Swedish charts becoming the band's fourth consecutive top ten in the country earning a Gold certification weeks after its release.[13] The single was not released worldwide, only in selected countries. "Happy New Year", was released in Chile after their visit in February 2000. A music video was made to support the single's release.

[ru] Happy New Year

«Happy New Year» (с англ. — «Счастливого Нового года») — песня шведской группы ABBA с их альбома 1980 года Super Trouper. Рабочее название песни было более весёлым: «Папочка, не напивайся на Рождество» (англ. «Daddy Don’t Get Drunk on Christmas Day»[1][2]). Композиция стала популярной, и её часто можно услышать в канун Нового года по радио и телевидению, хотя текст песни наполнен отнюдь не праздничными мотивами: в нём присутствуют, в частности, такие строки:[3] .mw-parser-output .ts-Начало_цитаты-quote{padding:0.25em 1em}.mw-parser-output .ts-Начало_цитаты-source{margin:1em 0 0 5%}.mw-parser-output .ts-Начало_цитаты-quote .ts-oq{margin:0 -1em -0.25em}body.skin-minerva .mw-parser-output .ts-Начало_цитаты-quote .ts-oq{margin-left:0}.mw-parser-output .ts-Начало_цитаты-quote .ts-oq .ts-oq-header.ts-oq-header,.mw-parser-output .ts-Начало_цитаты-quote .ts-oq .ts-oq-content{padding-left:1.052632em;padding-right:1.052632em}
