Svensktoppen
Swedish music chart From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Svensktoppen (Swedish: [ˈsvɛ̂nːskˌtɔpːɛn]) is a weekly record chart airing on Sveriges Radio. Until January 2003, the songs had to be in the Swedish language.[1][2] Svensktoppen has aired since 1962,[2] except for the years 1982–1985.[3] In the years leading up to the January 2003 change, the programme was strongly dominated by dansband music.[4]
