What could possibly be more exciting than Cher playing a role in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again? An album full of the GRAMMY winner covering ABBA songs, that's what.

During an episode of the "Today Show," Cher not only spoke about her role in the film sequel, but she also dropped a big hint that she had recorded an entire cover album of the Swedish band's biggest hits. Apparently recording her song in the Mamma Mia musical extravaganza was so much fun, the "Dancing Queen" needed a little more disco in her life.
"After I did 'Fernando,' I thought it would really be fun to do an album of ABBA songs, so I did!" she said in the segment. "It's not what you think of when you think ABBA, 'cause I did it in a different way."
In Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, Cher plays Ruby Sheridan, grandmother to Sophie (Amanda Syfried) and mother to Donna (Meryl Streep). As Sophie spends the film looking into her mother's storied past during her own pregnancy, Cher's character waltzes into the party where she and Andy Garcia drop an unforgettable rendition of "Fernando."
