"No matter what the genre, you’ll find Swedish artists who have become successful internationally. Indie rock has launched Peter Bjorn And John (read their blog under the Music room indie section), José González, Jens Lekman, The Hives and Mando Diao into the world. ABBA and Roxette led the way for today’s pop stars Robyn and The Cardigans.
One of the biggest jazz artists in Europe, Lars Gullin, was succeeded by other Swedish jazz players who can’t be easily pigeonholed: Jonas Kullhammar, Esbjörn Svensson Trio and Koop, to mention a few. Swedish hard rock became famous thanks to the band Europe. Today, Hammerfall and In Flames are world artists.
And Swedish musicians like Denniz Pop, Max Martin and Andreas Carlsson have written top-of-the-chart hits for Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys and Céline Dion. And the world has danced.
