Spotify reveals Danes' 2014 music tastes
Four domestic artists – led by crooner Rasmus Seebach – were among the ten most popular musicians in Denmark this year according to figures from streaming service Spotify.
Streaming music Spotify's 2014 figures have revealed pop singer Rasmus Seebach as the king of Danish music. But although Danes listened to Seebach more than any other Danish artist in 2014, he couldn’t top English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, who was the most popular overall artist in Denmark. That should perhaps come as no surprise. According to Spotify’s figures, the red-haired and red-hot Sheeran was the most popular artist worldwide on the streaming service. Sheeran’s popularity in Denmark even seems to outpace his success elsewhere – the 23-year-old’s ‘I See Fire’ was the most popular song in Denmark despite not making the top ten on Spotify’s global charts. The 34-year-old Seebach, whose latest album ‘Ingen kan love dig i morgen’ (No one can promise you tomorrow), was released late in 2013, staved off competition from younger pop star Christopher to claim the title as the most popular domestic act. Other homegrown talents in the top ten were pop princess Medina at number five, rapper L.O.C at number seven and rapper-producer TopGunn at number eight.
