Europop
Europop is a light, polished style of pop from continental Europe, built on simple, catchy melodies and choruses that repeat and are easy to sing along to.
It took shape in continental Europe from the mid to late 1960s and topped charts through the 1980s and 1990s. Songs are polished and upbeat, with light lyrics and repeated choruses. The Swedish group ABBA is widely seen as its leading act, and later Swedish acts such as Roxette and Ace of Base took the sound to American audiences. It should not be confused with Eurodance, which is electronic dance music.
Artists it is known for: ABBA, Ace of Base, Aqua.
