Typically the Swedish artists that sing in Swedish don’t break out of Scandinavia and it’s not really their goal to ”make it” globally, they cater to the Swedish market. Some on the list has started out singing in English (ex. Molly Sandén, Danny Saucedo, Miriam Bryant) and they start of as ”typical” pop stars who want to make it globally but then decide that it’s not worth it and so they switch to Swedish. Then there are other artists such as September/Petra Marklund, Per Gessle(gyllene tider) who was part of Roxette, - Who rebrand themselves when they sing in swedish for the Swedish market and English for the more global stage. Those who partake in Melfest isn’t typically Swedens top musicians and while it’s a great platform for artists it can become difficult to break away from the Melfest association after and be taken ”more seriously”. For many of the artists on this list it would be a sign of their careers decline if they appeared on Melfest(as the appearance of already established artists comes of as an attempt to ”poach” new listeners and gain some easy traction) and not winning would be a massive blow.
No.52 "Sommartider" is a real summer song sins 1982 anf if you look at the blond youth at the left you many recognize him as Per Gessle one of the members of ROXETTE.
They are original Swedish songs. No wonder if it sounds like American music, Sweden exports a lot of music. Check out MAX MARTIN: Billboard Hot 100 Chart History (1995-2024)

Sweden has two music industries: the international (Avicii, ABBA etc) and a large national music industry that doesn't reach outside of the Nordic countries.
You have to remember that this is only numbers from Spotify. They are not really a good representation of classic Swedish song because I agree that there's alot more good Swedish songs out there.

Perfectly explained.

Only Swedish songs in swedish should the video been named. If the swedish songs in english was on this list then it would have been a different list.

Just to clarify: the national music industry doesn't try to react outside of Sweden (the Nordics). Because they sing in Swedish.
I am also shocked that there aren't any Swedish language song from Eurovision artists.
What songs! They are as unique as two broomsticks.
Boring list. Almost no true classics/great songs.

Viktor Leksell. Most overrated Swedish artist in a long time if you ask me 😅
He ain’t bad but yeah, came out of nowhere to the top of the top. Overrated for sure.
@@MrZeuz666 he really is. Then people can have their opinions. But so can i. 😎👍
