Svensktoppen (Swedish: [ˈsvɛ̂nːskˌtɔpːɛn]) is a weekly record chart airing on Sveriges Radio. Until January 2003, the songs had to be in the Swedish language.[1][2] Svensktoppen has aired since 1962,[2] except for the years 1982–1985.[3] In the years leading up to the January 2003 change, the programme was strongly dominated by dansband music.[4]
The first number-one hit song was "Midnattstango" performed by Swedish crooner Lars Lönndahl.[5]
New rules on 17 January 2016 restricted the maximum length for a song to chart to one year.[6]
