1) Abba - S.O.S



Would you seriously expect anything else to be sitting at number 1? Sweden's biggest gift to the music industry, and one of the largest group's by sales in the world, ABBA more than deserve to be at the number one of our chart!

















2) Electric Lady Lab - You & Me


One of the hottest current bands in Denmark, made famous by theie sample of the SNAP hit "Rythem is a Dancer" Beautiful vocals and Synths, just suck you into this addictive song, and has been overplayed by myself far to much, and i'm still loving it.

















3) Medina - You & I





One of the biggest songs across Europe in 2009. Just hit play below... and you'll soon understand why....and why it is number 3 on our chart.





















4) Charlotte Perrelli - Hero


Representing Sweden at the Eurovision contest back in 2008, Mrs Perrelli didnt do so well, however Scandipop-Tastic adores this true pop gem.

Break of Dawn is the 3rd single from Eric Saade's debut album "Masquerade" Its the typical  pop ballad tune, with stunning vocals from Mr Saade. Its a song that just makes you wanna sing from the top of your lungs, Eric Saade and Break Of Dawn are defiantly Scandipop-Tastic. Also we have a fingers crossed that we shall see him performing new track "Popular" at the 2011 Eurovision, representing Sweden!





6) Lene Marlin - Another Day

This beautiful pop/acoustic singer from Norway had some success in the UK in the late 90's early 00's. But in her native of Norway, Lene Marlin has seen continued success with al her albums receiving gold or above certifications. She deserves much more recognition for her beautiful songs. Another Day is a person favourite of mine, and always manages to tug on them heart strings of mine. Deserving to be sitting at number 6.






7) Ace of Base - The Sign

Jumping back into the early 90's with Ace of Base. They are one of Sweden's biggest music exports as they have sold over 30 million albums worldwide. "The Sign" even managed to grace the top of the charts in the US, now even thats deserving enough to grace the Scandipop charts. A true classic in its own right, and forever will be. Enjoy! Oh and just a little bit of info, Ace of Base have recently released new album entitled The Golden Ratio, worth checking out I must say.





8) Yohanna - Is It True

This stunning pop ballad from Iceland's very own Yohanna was released in 2009 and it was also Iceland's entry for Eurovision that very year. It finished in a respective 2nd place, and it went on to become a Top 10 hit in 5 countries in Europe and grace the charts in a number of others. It was the second best selling Eurovision song in Europe that year. Yohanna's vocals in this song are breathtaking and the music video itself is simple yet very beautiful. This song has to be one of the best songs of Eurovision in a very long time, and deserves to be here in the top 10 Scandipop chart.






9) Agnes - On and On

Released in 2008 in Scandanavia and again in 2010 in the UK and the rest of Europe, On and On has become one of the biggest singles ever for Agnes, the Swedish Idol 2005 winner. It spent a massive 26 weeks in the Swedish charts and was a Top 10 hit on the UK Dance Charts. On and On is a catchy, makes you wanna dance tune, with impressive vocals. Its a song that you need to have blasting out of your car on those warm summer days. Well I think so anyway. The vocals, the beat and the video is why Agnes graces our top 10 scandipop chart.
