Sweden's pop phenomenon, which started with ABBA in the seventies, has exploded into a large industry ranging from CD sales to concert tours. But homegrown bands and CD makers are only a part of the success. World stars are beating a path to Sweden's music producers whose studios and songwriters lie behind many an American and British success.
Denis Pop--- one of the greatest Swedish pop producers --- put Sweden on the map, writing and producing hit after hit for stars as the Backstreet Boys, Boll Jovi and Britney Spears. French-Canadian Celine Dion, American Boyband 98 Degrees and American singer Jennifel Lopez turn to Sweden for songs composed by music writer and producer Arnthor Birgison.
All this has made Sweden the world's third biggest exporter of music But how did Sweden manage to spread its sound all over the globe?
Birgison, 25, believes the traditional Swedish approach to hard work and an unfriendly climate are key to the music sensation (轰动). Besides, Swedes are also very good at speaking English, which is very. important, because very little music sung in other languages succeeds anywhere outside its home country. Another piece in the puzzle is that Swedish children at an early stage get to try out musical instruments and learn music theory in school, at little cost to
their parents.
