Of course, it's about ABBA and the troika Lana Del Rey, Billie Eilish and Lorde.
And about Lil Nas X of course.
The Atlantic rapper who ticked off to success with the mega-hit "Old Town Road" two years ago and made his album debut this autumn.
When the editor asks me to summarize the year that will soon be in history, it is difficult to go past a 22-year-old voice that pushes boundaries in more ways than one.
Not least for his way of continuing to challenge the often conservative and white America with rap, rainbow colors and racial issues.

On the music export side, Swedish hip hop is not that big, even though A36 took the stage's Nordic tradition with success in all our neighboring countries.
No, what made us, not entirely unexpectedly, grow if Brexit as international pop suppliers is probably better explained by our great music makers like Max Martin and Oskar Holter, but also K-pop composers like Moa Carlebecker and Ellen Berg contribute to the silver.
