Europop
This is a page for the musical genre Europop in general. For the album Europop by
Eiffel 65, see
Europop (album). Europop refers to a style of
pop music that developed in Europe throughout the 1970s which emphasized catchy beats, slick songs and frothy lyrics. Europop topped the charts throughout the 1980s and
90s. Some Europop stars came from
France,
Germany,
Italy,
Ireland and the
Netherlands; a large majority were
Swedish in origin. In the 1970s, such groups were primarily popular in continental countries, with the exception of the biggest Europop outfit ever, Swedish 4-piece
ABBA, who achieved massive success in the UK, where they scored a phenomenal 19 top 10 singles and 9 chart-topping albums, and in North America and Australia. In the late 1980s and early 1990s,
Roxette and
Ace of Base led Europop in American and British mainstream audiences. By the 1990s, pop groups like the
Spice Girls and the
Backstreet Boys were strongly influenced by Europop. One of the main differences between American and European pop is that Europop is generally more
dance and
trance oriented. In central Europe
Italo disco (a.k.a. (80s)
Eurodisco) and
Euro House (a.k.a. 90s
Eurodance) (later) are the predominant attempts by young musicians to have a hit record in and beyond the borders of their own country.
