Despite selling millions of copies over more than four decades, their massive 1979 hit, Chiquitita, doesn't earn the Swedish supergroup a penny. "We gave the copyright to Unicef," its composer and founding member of Abba, Bjorn Ulvaeus, told the BBC. "A lot of money has come in over the years because Chiquitita has been played and streamed a lot, and lots of records have been sold. So, I'm very happy about that."

We've rounded up a select few of 2023's major titles (apologies to those who missed the cut but this article may otherwise have ended up longer than War and Peace). First up, it's memoirs and we kick off the year with a certain  Prince Harry 's autobiography, Spare, a reference to the phrase  "the heir and the spare" , one assumes.

While it promises "raw, unflinching honesty", we'll have to wait and see just how many bridges it will burn
