Why do more Swedish groups make it in the UK music chart, than any other non English speaking country? For example ABBA, Roxette, The Hives, The Cardigans. Anyone know any more swedish groups?

Half the answers are wrong.Lordi are Finnish, Aqua were Danish, TaTU are russian.
Here's a list of 300 or so, which barely scratches the surface though.:

Also people like Max Martin have been writing and producing US top 40 hits for decades. Half of Britney Spears songs are swedish written, for instance.

English talking countries - uk,US, Australia, Canada also are the countless best markets for song. Swedish talking countries are Sweden. both by being the first countries to undertake Rock, Blues and a range of of different song varieties the U. S. and uk have made English the common language for song writing. in case you write it in English you may promote it particularly a lot everywhere it the international. in case you write it in the different language you've a tendency to get negative acceptance in countries that do not talk that language. as an example very few songs in Spanish make it outdoors Spanish talking countries. Du Hast is the in common words hit i visit imagine of it really is in German. Even in elements which do no longer talk English natively it really is the most oftentimes spoken second language interior the international. so that you'll good numbers of human beings in maximum countries in a position to communicate English. So it really is basically to be understood, promote archives in extra of the international and because that it really is the default language for most song varieties. To sing in yet another language limits your target audience. What musician needs to attempt this from an creative and comercial stand aspect?
