Take Swedish bands or singers as example

Ace of Base
Roxette
Da Buzz
Freebee
The Cardigans
E-type


They don't sing any Swedish language songs.

Do they not love Swedish language?
or they are American spy?

They're are commmercialised beyond fuck. They just want more money and the path to that is to go global, even if it means a big fuck you to their native tongue and culture.

it doesn' mean they need to sing all songs in English... Take ABBA as example, they still sing the Swedish language song!

I prefer Solid Base, Basic Element and Da Buzz.
Dr. Alban was good too.

It's the difference betwen being open to a global audience or just a country-wide audience. If they'd sung all their songs in swedish ABBA would been unheard of.

I've expected Ace of Base , Roxette, and Da Buzz singing Swedish language songs:)

Remember than 1st albums of Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys were in fact europop - they were produced by Swedes, Britney and BB gang could have easily been replaced by a Sweden-born acts.
