Swedish Pop

Swedish pop is pop music from Sweden, known for strong melodies, clean production and songs often written in English.

Sweden has sold far more pop abroad than its size would suggest, starting with ABBA in the 1970s. Since the 1990s, Stockholm songwriters and producers such as Max Martin have also written many international hits for other artists. The typical sound puts the melody first, with tidy arrangements. There is a separate Swedish-language scene at home alongside the export acts.

Artists it is known for: ABBA, Roxette, Robyn, Zara Larsson.
