Well, swedes are a little sneaky, we spend the 80’s scanning the music from USA and Great Britain and then in the 90’s we took it all and made it better and dominated the world! (Evil laughter!) I was a deejay in the 80’s so the music people listened to was mostly music from the dance floor, it was before the internet so we as deejays went to London and bought all good records we could find and that is one explanation why we had a lot of British good music. And in the 80’s you could as a deejay play everything from rock to disco and people danced
@@erikhassler9459 there are a lot of kind of systems, not just political. For Uggla more about like how some people live their lives. Like Hej hej gubbar or Kung I Baren, in a sarcatisic way.
In Sweden, we have been listening to pop and rock from both the USA and Great Britain since the 1950s. Early on, we had many good rock bands in the 60s who sang in English. They were the ones who laid the foundation for the great The pop wonder now
I didn't count, but around half of them, perhaps 60%, were Swedish, and we have always been interested in music from other places so I don't think that's bad. Also, this was a list of music that was popular with the general public. Most of them were disliked or even hated by me and my friends
70 were non-Swedish and only 25 were Swedish, so a lot less than 50-60% were Swedish: 0:33 Secret Service "Oh Susie" 0:56 Gyllene Tider "Himmel No. 7" 1:16 Tomas Ledin "Just nu" 1:55 Gyllene Tider "När vi två blir en" 2:12 Bengt Pegefelt "Köppebävisan" 2:19 Caramba "Hubba hubba zoot zoot" 2:24 Freestyle "Vill ha dig" 2:38 X-Models "Två av oss" 2:42 Attack "Ooa hela natten" 4:28 Agnetha Fältskog "The Heat is On" 7:39 Style "Dover Calais" 7:46 Europe "The Final Countdown" 8:09 Magnus Uggla "Joey Killer" 8:29 Agnetha Fältskog & Ola Håkansson "The Way You Are" 9:21 Lili & Susie "Oh Mama" 9:41 Triad "Tänd ett ljus" 10:11 Tone Norum & Tommy Nilsson "Allt som jag känner" 10:15 Tommy Nilsson "Maybe We're About To Fall in Love" 10:22 Alien "Only One Woman" 10:34 Europe "Superstitious" 10:51 Mauro Scocco "Sarah" 10:57 Mikael Rickfors "Vingar" 11:19 Neneh Cherry "Buffalo Stance" 11:26 Jerry Williams "Did I Tell You?" 11:49 Magnus Uggla "Jag mår illa"
Loved this video, I'm also from the UK in Kent. However how have you never heard of enough is enough by Donna Summer/Barbara Streisand???????????? How do you not know who Johnny Logan is-still been on TV/radio, social Media gets mentioned etc + why wouldn't Our House-Madness be really big in Sweden because its very British lol How the hell have you never heard the Bond theme tune-A View to a Kill by Duran Duran-you been living under a rock!!!!! As for Rick Astley- how did you not know he had other hits in the UK lol
2:002:35 Spelling mistake for some reason, should be "två". 11:50 Here as well, "mår". So many good songs. I wanna see you react to more Swedish music, full songs.
Curiously, it was not popular in Sweden, it didn't even reach the top 20. But hey, that happened in Sweden with many classics, even by huge stars. For example, Michael Jackson's "Beat It" barely made it to #19.
You knew artists and songs from other countries ? Why a suprise that Swedes knew them aswell? Britain isnt the center of the world .And you surrely know that Europe is a Swedish band ? The final countdown ….
Exactly what I was thinking, and some of the songs he said he didn't know are classics and still play on UK radio/on TV programmes like TOTP 2 + music video channels on Freeview etc Also many other Swedish acts also had top 20 hits-but he was just playing number ones. I'm from UK in England BTW

Gyllene tider band member Per Gessle (singer) is one half of Roxette and he wrote "Listen to you heart"
He probably thinks Roxette were american. He tends to belive lots of things from Sweden are american.
A lot of the Swedish artists were singing in english, like Secret service, Europe, Lillie & Suzi, Jerry Williams etc.
Magnus Uggla is very famous in Sweden, like an icon against the system in different ways in the 1970-80th.
The system? Sounds too political. Not Uggla.
@@erikhassler9459 not the political, more about the social systems and the issues in the usual life.
@@niklasherneryd4754 But you wrote the system, and that is more like the political system.

RIP Jerry Williams. One of our best Rockers of all time. Did I Tell You was one of his biggest hits. You can't go wrong with him.
The Edelweiss sobg from 1989 is sctually a cover on Abba's SOS
Europe (The final coundown) is a Swedish band. And yes Magnus Uggla is Swedish☺️
Johnny Logan is from Ireland
He won the eurovison that year, Thats why he was popular
Great Sweden Alphaville Number ones 😊80s Music rules 😊
Loved this video, I'm also from the UK in Kent.
However how have you never heard of enough is enough by Donna Summer/Barbara Streisand????????????
How do you not know who Johnny Logan is-still been on TV/radio, social Media gets mentioned etc
+ why wouldn't Our House-Madness be really big in Sweden because its very British lol
How the hell have you never heard the Bond theme tune-A View to a Kill by Duran Duran-you been living under a rock!!!!!
As for Rick Astley- how did you not know he had other hits in the UK lol
2:00 2:35 Spelling mistake for some reason, should be "två".
11:50 Here as well, "mår".
So many good songs.
I wanna see you react to more Swedish music, full songs.
Edelweiss is a flower from the alps. Weiss is german for white.
8:27 "Ohhh I like ther voices together" Not to big of a suprise
A lot of songs stay at the nr 1 position for many, many weeks..
I'm sure there will be more Swedish artists (singing in Swedish) if you check the number 1 songs in the 60's and 70's 🤔
If you’re the rocker, I am the roller. Go Magnus.
I'm surprised that Dexy's Midnight Runners" and "Come on Eileen" wasn't on the list . . .
Curiously, it was not popular in Sweden, it didn't even reach the top 20. But hey, that happened in Sweden with many classics, even by huge stars. For example, Michael Jackson's "Beat It" barely made it to #19.
Swedish artists had about 30% of the market, but not many number ones, apperently.
wrong year on John Fernham, the song was released in 1986
Hela natten = All night
Attack +++
To be honest, you werent aware of many of the british songs eighter...
you should react to max martin the brain(swedish songwriter) of pop music
Together with Dennis Pop, may he rest in peace
@@marcusfridh8489 yeah of course
Didn’t you know that Europe is Swedish , never reacted to them as Swedes
