-	'''Nordic popular music''', also referred to as '''Scandipop''', are known for its biggest bands like [[ABBA]], [[Roxette]], [[a-ha]] and [[Aqua (band)|Aqua]]. These are by far the biggest non-metal acts to come out of [[Music of Sweden|Sweden]], [[Music of Norway|Norway]] and [[Music of Denmark|Denmark]].	+
-	The popular music of the [[Nordic countries]] exhibits great diversity. [[Denmark]], [[Finland]], [[Iceland]], [[Norway]] and [[Sweden]] have all had successful domestic record industries for many years. Because the [[Baltic countries]] of [[Estonia]], [[Latvia]] and [[Lithuania]] were under Soviet control for much of the 20th century, when recording technology and popular music spread across the world, those three countries have a more tenuous connection with the popular industries of Finland, Sweden and the rest. However, since the fall of the [[Soviet Union]], Western popular music in general has gained audiences in the Baltic states; this includes popular music from the other Nordic nations, as well as the [[United Kingdom]], [[United States]] and elsewhere.	+	{{Redirect category shell|1=

-	The Nordic [[metal music|metal]] scene is highly visible compared to other genres from the region. Many big names such as [[Opeth]], [[Meshuggah]], [[Children of Bodom]] and [[Amon Amarth]] hail from Nordic nations. Nordic or Scandinavian metal bands have had a long and lasting influence on the metal subculture alongside their counterparts in Great Britain and The United States.	+	}}
