Swedish Music Export

The music industry in Sweden
is much bigger than many people think.
Sweden is the third biggest country
to export music. Maybe many people
don’t know it because Sweden isn’t
a big country
.
Swedish Export
Believe it or not but Sweden is the third biggest country after USA and Great Britain to export music to other countries.
Not so long ago Sweden sent a few bands and artists on a tour to USA. They did this to make our music export bigger and promote it. On the tour they perform in Austin, Texas and a few clubs.

The biggest export ever in Sweden is the band ABBA, a quite old band but they sold many records. Sweden is mostly known for all the pop music we make.
When we got a big export the Swedish government introduced a price for the most successful music exporter in Sweden.

When it started
It can be quite hard to know exact how big our export in Sweden is and when it really started. All they know is that an opera singer named Jenny Lind, she exported music and before Jenny Lind is not any music export found, what they know it began with her.

The last 25 years have really been a success for the music export in Sweden. And for the last years the exports have grown for 15% every year.
We can only see the music export overall, we don’t know an exact way to measure the export, but it can be measured to some extent, by looking at the figures from the total incomes. One of the best way to see the export is by the selling of the CD’s, the selling of all the products
