    As a Swedish musician and producer this documentary warms my heart. My take is that the two biggest reasons by far is the music schools and maybe even more or folk music history. You can hear traces from those melodies in virtually every single billboard top 100 written or co-written by a swede. Those melodies are so deeply rooted in our culture that most people don't realise it until they start looking for it. About Abba it is worth noting that Benny is very prolific in the Swedish folk music scene as well and play the accordion at all the big folk music festivals. Language and internationalism is of course super important, but to me is to be able get the music on the world stage, not how it sounds.

    I am really so much fascinated that I didn't know how much of the songs on my playlists were composed and produced by Swedish creativity and inclination to music.... until I started getting curious about their origin. I hope the Swedes continue to inspire, flourish and touch the lives of many through the reverberating prowess in music. Danke Sweden!

      speaking of hard rock.. I don't know if you are from Sweden or not, but I was so pissed the other year when Sweden had a great hard rock song competing for Eurovision, but instead it was voted down like a piece of shit, when in my opinion it was absolutely one of the best contenders.. The song Runaways with Eclips th-cam.com/video/SRhCWtfobw4/w-d-xo.html Sometimes it feels like there is a pact or something to make sure not to vote the bests songs but rather to send something to make sure we DON'T win, because we just can't afford to host Eurovision in Sweden to often lol

    one artist from Sweden is often forgotten on the international stage but he was Sweden's Elvis!
    I'm referring to Cornelis Vreeswijk like me he was born in the netherlands and his family emigrated to Sweden where at a point he became a big name in music although he would become Sweden's superstar only after his death in 1987 Cornelis had a rockstar life so he died young at age 50 if you talk about Cornelis on the streets of anywhere in Sweden everyone knows him.
    I had a very close contact online with his son Jack Vreeswijk a Swedish rockstar in his own right he could write Duch so we had fun together.
    jack died early last year also quite young at age 59, during the Swedish big freeze a week back I was worried about his family so I contacted them and I'm glad they are fine.

    A few more notes on why swedes are so good at music. We have the Dansbands-music scene in that world bands get to know all about tours, playing instruments, rodding their own stage, promoting their shows, singing live and doing it for almost always 4 hours each evening they play to the audience. Lots of singers and producers from back in the days where dansbans-members 2/4th of ABBA came from that scene. Max Martin has said that one of his heroes is Lasse Holm and Lasse Holm is a huge songwriter for dansband music. Say what you will about the genre you could even hate the genre but we have to give credit to the work ethic, the stamina and the accessibility of the music (its mainly toured to places where no other music is played live) and you get the first glimpse of live music marvel for people living far outside of the main towns and cities.
    Kent a very big Swedish rock/pop band really did translate their songs as well into English, but they gave their songs to Morten Harket of A-ha and perhaps even Harket helped out with the English lyrics. A very unknown fact for many people.
    Lots of Swedish people are members of choir's and mainly sing in churches. Many singers in different bands or solo artists have started finding their voices this way. This and the sing-alongs and also the minor karaoke scene that's growing is a huge part of why there's so many great voices from this country.
    A family member of Avicii is actually Tommy Körberg, who are linked to ABBA in the way of Tommy being the original artist who sang Anthem from Chess the musical. ABBA recorded music in the studio of Glendisk where Bruno Glenmark was the boss. Bruno's nephew and niece where the Gemini artists who where the band that Björn and Benny focused on after ABBA. The nephew Anders Glenmark has produced almost a 1/3 of all pop music during the 1980/90s or being part of the production of the music like playing the guitar or singing the background chourus. Anders Glenmark is also the main singer on One Night In Bangkok. ABBAs first song written for another artist was Ricky-rock-n-roller sung by Jerry Williams an artist that like dansbands inspired lots and lots of other stars and also did promote stars before they were stars. One of which was Py Beckman who yes wrote a ESC song for Tommy Körberg. Many things going on is a little bit based in friendship nepotism or family nepotism.
    There's a recording studio in Skara called Marianne Records where lots of dansband where recording their music and their singers have later become singers of other music not just dansband or Schlager.

    The show Så Mycket Bättre is a good example on why Sweden is doing so well across the globe when it comes to trendsetting....Swedes are for the most part very intutive in their workforce. They like to contribute and learn from others. We are smart that way. The show Så Mycket Bättre originates from France if I am not mistaken, and like many other shows, we tend to take it on, and maximize our budget on that very thing. Thus the output becomes a fresh take on the matter and we tend to recreate the genre, and make it our own product, that looks great and sound great. Swedes have throughout history for the most part had an eye for upcomming trends, and has therefor quickly after evaluating the trends consitency, taken it and made it their own pretty much.

    ABBA's Spanish is also really good. It is crazy how good they sound in Spanish. Actually I thought they were a Spanish speaking group, because so many songs are titled like "Fernando" and "Chiquitita". Other songs, like Gimme Gimme Gimme love after midnight actually make more sense in Spanish than the rather awkward English Grammar (in Spanish the meaning is not "after midnight" but "give me love tonight", but fits better the rhythm structure when sung in Spanish).

    Fun facts about Avicii Arena. (Also known as "globen" ("The globe" in english) by locals.(Because it's a globe shape.(And very prominent.(The local metro station shares the name too.))))
    It's the world's largest spherical building last time I checked. And as in an actual building, that you can stand in and be protected from the elements, and that can support the weight of over a dozen thousand spectators. Not """building""" as in a shell made from bilboards surrounding a squar-ish building that's a fraction of the size. It's a spherical building, not a sphere and a building.
    It's also part of the world's largest scale model of the solar system. With the arena representing the sun. And the scale model overall is almost as big as Sweden itself. Which should put into perspective how huge the solar system is and the distances between the planets.

    The school system is great for music. when you are 16 you start "highschool" until you are 19, so 3 years. And there you can choose different art lines, Like music, theatre, painting and stuff. There your teachers are well educated and often very experienced musicians. After those 3 years there are a few different paths you can take to either study to become a music teacher or to get in to the buissnes.
    Also I went to a kindergarten that had music in the name. Then a 0 to 6th grade school where we had music projects all the time and music being a mandatory subject. Then my 7 to 9th grade had a theatre every year where you could choose to act, play music wich, music also being a mandatory subject there. So basicly everyone legally has to try music for 10 years.

    Wow... very good analysis from an outsiders perspective. Even though there's some great Swedish pop magic from time to time, the Swedish music business has been criticized alot of being just a very effective commercial money machine which produces a lot of bland mediocre "too perfect" pop stuff and too many one-hit-wonders. This is why alot of Eurovision fans has turned on Swedish-written songs. They are boring.
    Swedish music is much wider than this pop music and since the 1960's counterculture, there's been a huge alternative scene, with countless genres, which is a big factor in the success story. Many of these Swedish bands started out jamming in the their schools replokal (rehearsal space) on school instruments after school, as there was not much to do in the countless small towns across the sparsely populated country.
    Many Swedes also got to try their hands in broadcasting as a Swedish law "Närradiolagen" provides every municipality with a local radio station which basically everyone has the right to transmit from, which is why Sweden has countless college radio stations. Things like that definitely provided infrastructure and talent to a big music business. And that's also a thing Swedes are pretty good at: business.

And in general, he produced only 6 songs from Ace of Base for all time: "All That She Wants", "The Sign", "Beautiful Life", "Never Gonna Say I'm Sorry", "Lucky Love", "Blooming 18". And you showed the Ace of Base album cover in a 1998 video called "Flowers". Denniz PoP has nothing to do with this album, because, unfortunately, he had died by that time.

    There's a lot of superficiality in this, not your fault but the music story runs deeper. Swedes have a tendency to sell out in an attempt to be accepted abroad, they lack spine because supposedly we're not allowed to think of ourselves as anything special, but I'm just gonna say it.
    The most important pop musician (singer-song-writer) from Sweden is someone international audiences have never heard of, ie Ted Gärdestad, undoubtedly. He both started and defined the melancholic undertones in Sweden, wrote melodies at the depth of Mozart, all at the age of 6 till his first album releases at age 15 and 16 in 1971 which were produced by the members of what would later establish as ABBA indirectly through Ted's music. The guy is known as "The King of Melody" here, and it shows, every single song he wrote is highly distinct.
    He is largely responsible for ABBA's international success as it not only convinced them to write pop music, but also taught them how to write melodies, and how to use lyrics not as a way to convey meaning but rather use them to convey a certain sound and intonation, which would strengthen the melody. This is largely why ABBA were so successful abroad. Ted was not only a prodigy who was far ahead of his time, but a genius who suffered the typical maddening path you would expect a genius to suffer. Complete breakdown of his identity after searching for himself, from the most joyful person you could ever meet to evil forces that seemed to be after him, both internally and externally, in the likes of the novell Steppenwolf, until his untimely death. Pretty sad, wish he was still around.

    These answers probably all contribute but they're all very focused on the music industry specifically while the trend hold rue for pretty much all creative production, such as your own job as a youtuber, there are more of those as well, it's not even limited to just cultural creative work but extends to engineering and science too. The trend going beyond music can't be be explained by these answers. Another contributing factor could be found in the economic, social and hierarchic structure. Showing status and "keeping up with the joneses" if frowned upon while falling behind in career or economy is pretty harmless. The lack of social pressure to perform in the socioeconomic hierarchy of Sweden leaves individuals adrift to pursue random interests which allows them to be creative. It is a culture that considers the person who spends a lot of money on an expensive vehicle to show off more suspect than the person who revives the mechanical music genre on TH-cam by spending his time building an absurd ball machine.

      the only countries that make good pop music is sweden, usa and england with sweden being the number 1 cause sweden has made all pop music from the early 70s untill today that is playing on the radio and on tv channels like mtv cause all pop songs are made by swedish songwriters and producers
      like max martin,shellback,redone, andreas carlsson and several other swedish songwriters and producers that work with these 4 guys
      1. Sweden
      2. usa
      3. england

    Amazing! But you should have mentioned Kent. The most loved band in Sweden even more than ABBA. Only fault from their side was they did not sing in English. Otherwise they would have been like the Beatles. All my friends in the US were obsessed by Kent.

      The fact that Kent chose to sing in swedish is why they are loved, they are the band in swedish that swedes love to listen to, swedes usually don't listen to music in sweden if it's in swedish. Kent even in swedish were loved outside Sweden and Sweden can be proud of that.

    Your facts are wrong, about Swemix, Denniz Pop and Cherion studio. If you got so much wrong at the start, I'm sure you got more wrong later but I couldn't watch anymore. Bye

      What was he wrong about? I can't point out anything he was wrong about regarding the studio perhaps maybe some continually error, but that's such a small inconsequential detail.

    You mentioned controversy over Spotify's royalty payments, but many people think they are responsible for the death of music.
    Where are the big artists from the last 15-20 years? OK, you have a lot of solo performers like Taylor Swift, Adele, Ed Sheeran, Beyonce. But would Beyonce have started on her own today instead of with Destiny's Child? And the big bands from pre-2000 are still going strong - e.g. U2, Stones.
    So yes, Sweden has blessed us with some fantastic pop music, but I wonder if they will still export music as streaming grows.

    wow, I didn't knew Sweden were responsible of all that cr*ppy music! Damn... 😅 I recently discovered you channel and I find it quite interesting. What is disappointing is how you diligently aggregate all these informations and names and data ...in a frankly boring sequence, for example: "this is the museum bla bla, the ticket is 19 euros.". AND? did you find it's overpriced? Is it honest? How much time did you spent inside? Did you enjoyed the visit, there were many people, how was the shop, if there was one? Is it easy to reach for a tourist? You see, like you do it looks like a Rechnungsführer compiling every cold info one after another without any bit of personal point of view or unexpected humor. Take it like a constructive critic. Your channel would become from average to very interesting if you were a little more like MRNBD and if you do more videos in English about Germany, which is very misunderstood by Americans, Italians and so on, but they don't understand a single German word so they keep languish in the ignorance. There are still many prejudices, and even toward Berlin from a German but non-Berliner point of view. Thank you
