The film, contrary to popular belief, does take a plot — information technology simultaneously follows Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) as she reopens the hotel her recently deceased female parent Donna (Meryl Streep) founded, and a younger Donna (Lily James) as she embarks on a cross-country chance and meets iii lovers, one of whom she will conceive her daughter with.

Just permit's be frank; audiences aren't going to run into Mamma Mia! Here We Get Once again for character evolution, subtle storytelling or even plot points that makes sense. The world wants to encounter A-list celebrities singing their favorite ABBA songs, even if the vast majority of the Swedish super group's hits were already included in the previous film.

There are plenty of great musical sequences in the moving picture, full of expertly choreographed dancing, big budget ready pieces and much less of Pierce Brosnan's singing. There are also a number of duds, where information technology's clear that producers wanted to fill fourth dimension by adding in another song from ABBA'south expansive catalog.

While there are 18 songs on the film's official soundtrack, just 16 of them fabricated their way into the film (filmmakers must have decided to cutting "I Wonder (Divergence)" and "The Day Before You Came" for fourth dimension.) With that in mind, here are all 16 musical performances from Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, ranked.

16. "Kisses Of Fire"

It's most unfair to even identify this song on our list. While many of the picture show's other performances feature big-upkeep production value, a dance sequence or two, or even a general plot outcome that they are going for, this ABBA song is treated basically as a one-off joke. Sung in a Grecian bar by a mediocre and comically cheesy house band, this number serves equally more of a strangely drawn-out ABBA Easter egg than it does as one of Mamma Mia's actual musical performances. The fact that this i made it into the film, but Meryl Streep's hauntingly beautiful rendition of "The Day Earlier You Came" didn't, is a criminal offense.

15. "Knowing Me, Knowing You lot"

In another of the few remaining ABBA hits to debut in this film, young Donna breaks it off with the one lover she actually fell in love with as Harry departs the island. Harry sings from the ferry boat, while Donna watches him become from the shore — and that's pretty much it. It's an extremely short tune, featuring just the first poesy and chorus of the song. While "Knowing Me, Knowing Y'all" is one of ABBA'due south almost iconic songs, the film'south rendition merely isn't able to do it justice. It's tragic that such a wonderful ABBA classic lands this far down on the list, only the filmmakers may also have cut this i with the amount of fourth dimension it ultimately gets on screen.

fourteen. "One Of The states"

While "One of Us" is a genuinely great and oft underappreciated ABBA song, the film'due south version of the breakdown ballad was only a fiddling bad-mannered. In a scene that seems forced just and so that the producers could include this track, Sophie has an angry and emotional phone telephone call with her husband Sky (Dominic Cooper), where the two argue about whether or not he should stay in New York indefinitely to work at another hotel. The ensuing number features the two walking and moping about their respective bedrooms, with a few visual stunts that arrive seem like they're really right next to one some other. It's a fine fix slice, simply information technology's ultimately undercut when Sky's plotline is rapidly resolved when he randomly decides to fly back to Greece to be with his wife.

xiii. "I Have A Dream"

Ultimately, this moment in the film doesn't hateful much — we watch as young Donna wanders through a worn-down farmhouse on Kalokairi (a fictional Grecian island), while the magic of filmmaking shows the audience the beautifully-made over electric current mean solar day version of that house, where Donna'southward hotel now resides. Even Lily James' silky dulcet tones can't relieve this ultimately inconsequential number.

12. "The Name Of The Game"

This ultra-hit ABBA rails was recorded and shot for the original film, but ultimately didn't make it into the finished version. In information technology'southward official debut in the Mamma Mia! series, "The Proper noun of the Game" finds young Donna strolling around an orange tree orchard, where she has a cute run-in with a goat, does a fox with an orange and ultimately discovers that Sam, despite having slept with her the night before, is engaged. It's a fine moment in the picture show, just it near seems as though its inclusion was not a option made on the ground of plot but so that producers could include one of the 4 remaining songs off of ABBA's Gold compilation album.

xi. "Why Did It Have To Exist Me?"

When young Donna boards a gunkhole with her future lover Bill (Josh Dylan), the derisive sailor continually tries to convince her that the two should exist together, despite the young woman'south protests. It's an admittedly good number, putting an ABBA vocal that many may not know to adept utilize in the context of the motion picture. While it may not live upwardly to some of the spectacle-driven performances institute later on this listing, this deep cut does its job and does information technology effectively.

ten. "Angel Eyes"

Afterwards a few musical numbers wrought with emotion and heartbreak, Mamma Mia! Hither We Go Again needed a comedic break. And so the film turned to Christine Baranski and Julie Walters' Tanya and Rosie to cheer up the audition and Sophie. With the Dynamos trying to convince Sophie that she and Sky are going to be okay, this brusk number was both well-executed and hilarious. Sure, Rosie'due south abiding incoordination and undying love for bread were the everyman mutual comedic denominator, simply it yet made for a fun romp at a moment that the film needed it.

nine. "Mamma Mia"

Nonetheless some other track that is repeated from the original motion picture, this entry actually serves some narrative purpose. In the first pic, Meryl Streep's operation of the vocal — while very funny and relatively good — didn't entirely brand sense. Sure, she was surprised, but while she may have yet had unresolved feelings about Sam, why sing a song nigh falling back in love with a adulterous ex when you're seeing three men, only one of which broke your eye? In the sequel, immature Donna gets her own scissure at the song, fresh later on having her heart broken by Sam. And so, when she and the Dynamos are set to perform at a bar, she decides to allow out everything that she was feeling, and information technology makes for another lovely rendition of the ABBA archetype.

viii. "Andante, Andante"

Another loving moment from the film, "Andante, Andante" serves as an audition song, sung again by Lily James. Young Donna simultaneously proves to a local bar-possessor that she has a proficient enough voice to sing at her establishment and seduces her island lover, Sam (Jeremy Irvine). The background acting from Irvine and company falls to the wayside so that James' stellar vocalisation can ring clearly throughout this gorgeous rendition of a bottom-known ABBA B-side.

7. "Waterloo"

In the original picture, fans were practically indignant at the fact that ABBA's smash-hit unmarried "Waterloo" didn't make the final cutting. The producers clearly understood that, and ultimately did the song justice in the sequel. Taking place in a kitschy restaurant in Paris, a young Harry (Hugh Skinner) convinces James' Donna that they must be in love, despite the fact that they'd just just met. Complete with tap-dancing waiters, full-on Napoleon costumes and well-executed vocal performances from Skinner and James, "Waterloo" is a wonderfully fun number that had everyone in the audience laughing.

6. "I've Been Waiting For You lot"

While the plot and characters of this picture are ultimately secondary to the sunny ABBA soundtrack, "I've Been Waiting for You" is i of two songs in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again that balances music with genuine, touching emotion. When Sophie takes to the stage to fill her deceased female parent's place in Donna and the Dynamos, the film cuts between her performance of this gorgeous ABBA ballad and immature Donna giving birth to her daughter. It is a cute, tear-jerking moment that is but surpassed in emotion by one other song (come across below).

5. "Super Trouper"

Everyone loves an encore, and that's certainly true for the "Super Trouper" finale that plays over the flick's credits. The entire cast, (starting, of course, with Cher) comes dorsum on screen for this costume-and-dance heavy rendition of ABBA'due south archetype disco track. With confetti flying and every single cast fellow member wearing their about fabled ABBA-inspired outfits, the song is a surefire crowd-pleaser that does it's job to exit the audience feeling warm and fuzzy after the movie'due south weepy, teary-eyed catastrophe.

iv. "When I Kissed The Teacher"

The film starts off with a whiz-bang performance from James' Donna, Jessica Keenan Wynn and Alexa Davies as the respective Dynamos. Taking identify at the trio's graduation from Oxford University, the daughter group rips off their graduation robes to give a raucous and hysterical performance of this well-loved ABBA B-side. The moment sets the film up for its future show-stopping performances, and lets the audition know that their ticket was well worth the $15 cost.

iii. "Dancing Queen"

Upon first watching this sequence, it's piece of cake to compare it to the original film's rendition of ABBA's biggest hit. Both take place partly on a dock, both accept giant casts of actors lip-syncing and gyrating, and both obviously have a lot of dancing. Only if y'all can watch Mamma Mia! Hither We Go Again without at least smirking during this scene, so you are a stronger person than most. The simple shot of the 3 boats turning into the harbor, coupled with some hilarious acting from Colin Firth, Pierce Brosnan and Stellan Skarsgård, make this ane of the most enjoyable moments of the motion picture.

2. "My Dear, My Life"

When the opening of the film confirmed that Meryl Streep's Donna had died, audiences felt shocked and cheated. Why would you kill off the i character that served as the anchor for the unabridged series? But if that's what it took to become this beautifully heartfelt and sob-inducing number from Streep and Seyfried at the film's closing moments, then it was worth it. As Sophie brings her newly-built-in son to her chapel to be christened, the spirit of Donna, unseen past anyone but Sophie, sings her daughter and grandson a fragile goodbye before exiting the chapel, and probably this world. Not a dry out eye was found as the film concluded with Streep closing the doors to that chapel.

i. "Fernando"

How could it have been any other song? The moment Cher showed up in the film's trailer, audiences everywhere collectively gasped and vowed to buy their tickets. While she may have simply been present for the terminal 20 minutes of the film, Cher is undeniably the greatest role of Mamma Mia! Here We Become Again. Her performance of "Fernando" is non just great only by virtue of her impeccable vocals, just also because it represents everything the film ought to exist. Rather than wasting an exorbitant amount of time explaining why Sophie'southward grandmother is singing a song to her former Latin lover (played excellently by Andy Garcia), the motion-picture show simply has Cher run into his face, say his name, and launch correct into this fabulous functioning of the ABBA classic. It's got crazy fireworks, it's got dancing, information technology's unbelievably campy, and it is Cher. The entire pic basically becomes an elongated opening human activity for this song, and yet information technology was all nonetheless worth it.
