Roxette "Joyride"

"Hello, you fool, I love you. Join the joyride."

Robyn "Do You Know (What It Takes)"

Swedish pop singer Robyn has been making music much longer than you might know.  The poppy "Do You Know (What It Takes)" charted way back in 1997.  Robyn continued to crank out hit songs in Sweden and the UK, but never seemed to be able to crack the US market.  Fans of the song "Dancing on My Own" from Calum Scott know that it was originally performed by Robyn in 2010.

Ace of Base - "Cruel Summer"

Ace of Base is responsible for so many of the songs you hear on the radio today because today's artists grew up hearing to the Swedish Pop group on the radio.  Lady Gaga and Katy Perry are two such artists who credit Ace of Base as an influence on their sound.  As huge as Ace of Base was in the 1990's, the group simply could not sustain the international success they found--let's be real, no one could sustain that sort of worldwide success.  The group's second album after their breakthrough The Sign was Flowers.  Flowers yielded a hit in the form of a remake of Bananarama's pop hit "Cruel Summer".
