After winning Melodifestivalen, KAJ can add another title to their list of achievements – their "Bara bada bastu" became the year's most viewed music video on YouTube in Sweden.
The streaming giant is now publishing its annual lists and noting several trends. Among other things, “K-pop: Demon Hunters” was huge this year. Three songs from the animated film are among the ten most viewed music videos.
In addition, Arabic music is becoming increasingly popular on Swedish YouTube. "Doctor" by Al Shami came third on the list, after KAJ and second place "Yihaa" by Dolly Style.
JLC tops the list of the year's fastest growing creators in Sweden, with the comedy group's member Jonas Fagerström in fourth place. The Lundell Family and Mauri Hermundsson also rank high on YouTube's annual lists.
Swedish creators are generally doing well on YouTube. Over 100 Swedish channels currently have more than one million subscribers, the streaming service said in a press release.
