The new Caotico single with Tove Styrke getting down and dirty. Can't say that I actually like the song, but it seems like this and the new Aqua single indicate a new era of filthiness in Scandinavian pop.
Caotico's next single "Brains out", due out in a few days, will feature guest vocals from Swedish pop artist Tove Styrke.
Koko is a new act featuring Emil Lundgren and Sven Johansson and "If I could win" is the first sample of the duo's forthcoming album "K:O". Sven's bandmate Elina Johansson from Dear Euphoria contributes guest vocals here and elsewhere; likewise, Johan Ivansson (Tove Styrke, Erik Hassle) and other famous Stockholm-dwellers lend their talents to other tracks. More details will be revealed in time, meanwhile just enjoy this one song.
Koko - If I could win
All this talk of P3 Guld and I never even listed the winners! Here they are:
Best artist: Robyn - "Body talk pt. 1"
Guldmicken (best live artist): Robyn
Best song: "Dancing on my own" - Robyn
Best group: Johnossi - "Mavericks"
Best newcomer: Tove Styrke
Best dance: Skudge - Various productions
Best hip-hop/soul: Carlito - "Guldburen"
Best pop: This is Head - "0001"
Best rock/metal: Khoma - "A final storm"
Things I've learned today: Peter Dolving will talk politics for hours, Jonas Björler says The Haunted is gay, Those Dancing Days have earned your respect, Tove Styrke's signature dish is pannacotta. Also: Björn Kleinhenz is working on an acoustic album, young panda girls with Broder Daniel patches still exist and Swedish beer is getting much, much better.

It appears that Sverige Topplistan has made their already hard-to-navigate site even worse, so I'd say it's pretty doubtful that I'll continue posting charts next year. Not that they matter much anyway.
