Europop

Europop refers to a style of popular music invented in the 1970s by ABBA and similar vocal groups. With its focus on catchy beats, slick songs and frothy lyrics, Europop topped the charts throughout the last 1980s and 90s. Some Europop stars came France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands; a large majority were Swedish in origin. In the 70s, such groups were primarily popular in continental countries. In the 80s, Rozette[?] and Army of Lovers[?] led Europop in American and British mainstream audiences. By the 1990s, pop singers like the Spice Girls and the Backstreet Boys were strongly influenced by Europop.
