    East German teen band Tokio Hotel just entered the Swedish album charts at number one with "Scream"!? What's wrong with you guys? What happened to all of your local talent?

    Well.. what can we say? We're great music-creators end producers, allthough we have different taste.

    Well, Sweden is not just about great music... If you think Basshunter is bad you should check out these examples of the chart topping swedish music:

    Dr Bombay - Calcutta

    Günther - Teeny weeny string bikini

    Yeah most of that is crap, but I have to admit the Justin Timberlake album is pretty addictive.

    The real question is why Swedish groups usually sing in English.

    It is nigh impossible to be successful commercially if you sing in your native language, at least in the states and the UK where the movers and shakers reside. Not saying it is right but it is the harsh reality. Notable exceptions include Sigur Ros but they are only the exception that confirms the rule.

    There are quite a few more exceptions: Rammstein, Falco & Nena all reached top chart positions in the U.S. and the U.K. singing in German. Dungen had a successful U.S. tour last year singing only in Swedish. And of course there are countless Spanish acts in the U.S. and U.K. charts...

    I meant long term success which any of these bands can not claim (even Sigur Ros to be honest), maybe Dungen at a stretch...

    Swedish/German/Any foreign bands that have made a lasting impression either had no lyrics or were singing in English. After that, we will probably have to define what long-term success means...

    Rammstein, yes, but it is a very niche market really.

    Well, Spanish doesn't really count, does it? I mean, it's one of the most spoken languages of the world, and probably the second most common one in the USA People are used to Spanish lyrics. I wish they were used to Swedish ones as well ;_;

    ...and the Italian top five sucks too. I guess it's a worldwide problem.

    Anyway i'm sorry to say I nearly didn't hear anything good from Sweden in 2007, except for Johnossi, they rock in my opinion. Usually there were at least 4 or 5 good new acts every year from Sweden. Is it me that missed them or are they really missing this year?
