JULY

18/7 Benjamin Ingrosso premieres his summer tour, which will be seen by 175,000 spectators.

21/7 Charli XCX declares that Kamala Harris is "brat", meaning as cool as the British artist herself, whose "brat summer" includes hit songs like "360" and "Guess", a duet with Billie Eilish. For Kamala Harris, it doesn't go as well.

AUGUST

2/8 TV4 interrupts and later cancels the recording in Norway of the new reality series "Berget" when a participant dies.

20/8 After much speculation, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck finally file for divorce.

27/8 After much speculation, Liam and Noel Gallagher reunite. Next year, there will be a world tour for Oasis.

SEPTEMBER

13/9 Pernilla Wahlgren marries her Christian Bauer – again. They exchanged rings already last winter, but now it's even more grandiose in Marbella. Those who follow "Wahlgren's world" can see the wedding on TV after New Year's.

17/9 Hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs is arrested by the police, suspected of extensive sex crimes and human trafficking.

OCTOBER

11/10 Donald Trump tries to stop the film, but on this day, "The Apprentice" has its biopremiere. Swedish-Danish-Iranian director Ali Abbasi tells about Trump's ruthless career in New York's business world. It doesn't stop Trump from being elected as the President of the USA almost a month later.

11/10 Yasin connects the past and present when he is inspired by Cornelis Vreeswijk on his new single "Cecilia Lind", which becomes a huge hit.

12/10 Antwan sets a public record when 40,899 spectators cram into Tele2 Arena in Stockholm to see the rapper from Västerås.

16/10 Liam Payne falls to his death from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires. The One Direction star is only 31 years old.

18/10 Thåström is back and receives better reviews than perhaps ever in his career for the album "Somliga av oss".

NOVEMBER

17/11 Allan Svensson passes away, 73 years old. The actor became a household name as Papa Gustaf in the SVT comedy classic "Svensson, Svensson".

22/11 The Netflix series about "Helikopterrånet" premieres and creates debate about whether the TV makers are glorifying the robbers a bit too much.

DECEMBER

6/12 In "Jönssonligan kommer tillbaka", Robert Gustafsson takes over the role of Sickan from his mentor Gösta Ekman. Ulf Brunnberg, who played Vanheden in the first films, tries in vain to stop the new films.

13/2 Lawyer Thomas Bodström proves to be a really sly player. The former Minister of Justice manages to get through the viewer success "Förrädarna" on TV4 without arousing suspicion and becomes one of those who get to share the prize money.
