Sales and certifications [ edit ]
Chips version [ edit ]
Weekend was first covered by the Swedish group Chips on their eponymously titled debut-album. Originally, the version was recorded in 1980, but was only available on the album's first printed issues, as all subsequent releases (now called "Sweets'n Chips") replaced the song with the track "Good Morning". It wasn't until the release of the 1997 Greatest Hits-album『20 bästa låtar』that the song became widely available again. The B-Side on the single was the Instrumental track "Tokyo".
