The top song is "I adore you" by Arash, featuring Daecolm, Hugel, and Topic, followed by "I like it" with Alesso and Nate Smith. Third and fourth place on the list are held by Galantis, together with David Guetta and 5 Seconds of Summer, as well as Swedish House Mafia with Alicia Keys.

"A clear trend that persists is that Swedish electronic and dance music remains popular outside of Sweden", says Emma Vikström, music responsible for Spotify in the Nordic region.

She also points out that the list shows several international collaborations that have led to Swedish artists gaining new fans in other countries, for example Robyn, Yung Lean, and Bladee who participated on Charli XCX's remix album.

Benjamin Ingrosso also ranks high, his "Honey boy" with Nile Rodgers and Shenseea is in fifth place and "Look who's laughing now" is at number 20. Also found in the top ten are Zara Larsson and Tove Lo.
