gay

It's gay to make money? Wow

>Daft punk
>Bob sinclar
>Martin solveig

I know I only quote the most famous but he said "hits".

Yeah, France have some huge hits, but still it's a pretty huge country and it cannot compete at ALL with Sweden.

>Norway
>Music

youtube.com/watch?v=D6Hndsyfn6M

Scandinavian music is gay as shit

Finland can compete how? Nightwish?

youtube.com/watch?v=KLpkXtM-VI8

Poor Leno is the only good song they have

lmao i know only Wintergatan from Sweden
and Burzum and Aurora from Norway
where are those "music hits" because i know none.
it's not like i don't like your music, i do like those 3 artists that i mentioned before, but it doesn't seem they are so popular in the world xD
finland also has quality music, but it's more recognizable than sweden's and norway's together imo

>what is swedish house mafia
>what is blue swede
>what is avicii
>what is ABBA
>who is Max Martin

I can go on and on. No wonder that you're a 3rd world country if all you poles are this retarded

Check out Senior.

i for one think nightwish is pretty good

Sweden has probably had more worldwide hits than ALL other non-english speaking countries COMBINED (and not just European countries, but all non-english speaking countries worldwide).

I like nightwish too.

How can you not like this?
youtube.com/watch?v=QxSIXfYkJVA

Because you guys have been americanized to shit

You're literally the most americanized non english speking country in the world though

The Netherlands is all good, you even make remixes of Norwegian songs:

youtube.com/watch?v=jjbiMXfe2NU

Sonata Arctica is alright

Never heard of any of these except the fishballs

I never liked fishballs

Seriously though, the Netherlands is the best outside mighty Scandinavia. But we are mighty so you can't REALLY compete.

How can other countries even compete with Finland?

youtube.com/watch?v=ZHReqKRvonE

delete this

WTF I love Finland even more nau

What the fuck, they ripped us off again?

youtube.com/watch?v=9RC-QKpb8ac

Norway to the rescue

youtube.com/watch?v=5f6qaqmCz58

How about a COMPLETELY unknown Norwegian music band?

youtube.com/watch?v=UOib9Bi-gw8

only a few hundred views (is it bad?)

more like America was scandinaviafied

>theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/10/hit-charade/403192/

>Millions of Swifties and KatyCats—as well as Beliebers, Barbz, and Selenators, and the Rihanna Navy—would be stunned by the revelation that a handful of people, a crazily high percentage of them middle-aged Scandinavian men, write most of America’s pop hits.

Yeah, we fucking created modern America. All their values are from us.

youtube.com/watch?v=XOibIxl3dLo

>Aurora
Good lad. The Polish crowd was GOAT this year.
youtube.com/watch?v=uaKK0m69ER8

Ok, copy cats.

There seems to be no other way:
youtube.com/watch?v=BmA6PDutNDE

Nah, most scandis have yank accents when they speak English
Netherlands have closer ties to us

It's color, not colour

Does Finland have this Garfunklish Norwegian stuff?

youtube.com/watch?v=c-ppARtcQfo

No, of course not. Because Norway is better at this.

FOY

pls don't be like that norway

we are friends remember

there's been loads of shitty normie music from norway that's made it big the past few years

The banana tree?

But, yeah, we are friends forever. Unbreakable bond :p

If norway is so good then why are all norwegian songs in english?

>Burned so badly in the ass.
>Norway on suicide watch.

I thought you said "some huge tits" and I got super excited there for a while.

Here are a couple of other unknown Norwegian (in english) songs:

youtube.com/watch?v=aY0Xrajhj14
youtube.com/watch?v=lt9PUajWAR0
youtube.com/watch?v=PS9xLhn-1vw

Just to show the scope of Norwegian supremacy compared to other non-english speaking countries. NO ONE CAN COMPETE!

taking back my words then, didn't know it's norwegian

Norwegian is not a real language.
Iceland was put in charge of exporting music in our native language.

maybe, but we have these:

youtube.com/watch?v=rqT1onXH-tA

>Why are other non-english speaking European countries so bad at making world music hits compared to Sweden and Norway?

Because only Swedes and Norse are cucked enough to use English instead of their native language

How about some slightly older Norwegian bands (that never made it outside Norway - but was extremely popular here):

youtube.com/watch?v=LE9AuZ35_AY

Shit, we even make better music in English than the UK and the US!

How can scandi ever compete?
youtube.com/watch?v=gMApJESZhB4

>that never made it outside Norway
HOL UP

youtube.com/watch?v=E2eXICPPBdQ
finland won, its actually the best

youtube.com/watch?v=LRBUT7TVqGg

Norwegian of course... (not Finnish, not Russian, not German, not French)

>implying
Darude
Rakamakofoon

youtube.com/watch?v=1rmo3fKeveo

If you want to count less mainstream stuff, Finnish rock, metal and jazz are all very well known in the world

The important thing is that no other country (except Sweden) can compete! (not Denmark, not Finland, not the Netherlands.... and not Rammstein)

cuck

Fuck. THIS was the song I was supposed to post:

youtube.com/watch?v=z6zug2U__TE

I really don't see a French, German, Italian, Finnish or whatever non-english speaking country competing with this... like EVER!

How can Norway even compete?

youtube.com/watch?v=CySRgtT5kVI

Just remembered a Norwegian band I listened to (while drunk) in the 90s... it's completely forgotten now even in Norway:

youtube.com/watch?v=JO7wFGY81iY

u actually like this shit?

No, that's shit.

Our party songs a FAR better:

youtube.com/watch?v=4DDnt6WXDp8

(actually this had millions of views... but they deleted their original video a few years ago).

We just make better music in english and even in our own language! (wow)

but that's pure shit, the finnish song is better (if you had to choose between 2 turds)

I actually like this song (but again, it didn't become a hit outside Norway):

youtube.com/watch?v=MCIaj-oLi28

>but that's pure shit

Maybe...

but not THIS:

youtube.com/watch?v=n5xVt4S9hPA

(You would have to know Norwegian)
