Vikingarna is the most popular Swedish dansband, and one of the best-selling Scandinavian acts of all time. They settled on the name Vikingarna as dansbandmusik, an upbeat mixture of schlager, country, rock & roll, and swing, became established as a genre around the beginning of the 1970s. The group topped the Swedish charts for the first time with 1975's "Du gav bara löften," from Kramgoa Låtar 1, the first album in a series that continued for decades. Their sound and repertoire became the standard for dansbands, as they kept up their busy recording and performance schedule through frequent lineup changes. After breaking into the German-speaking market, the group disbanded in 2004, having sold 11 million albums during their career. An updated lineup named Nya Vikingarna resumed touring and released Kramgoa Låtar 30 in 2017. Previous vocalist Christer Sjögren returned, and they issued The Final Tour: Live in Concert in 2022.
