Our first Swede but not our last.
27 MAX MARTIN
Born Karl Martin Sandberg on 26th February 1971 in Stockholm, Sweden. Max Martin had virtually cornered the market in teen pop from the mid 90’s to 2001, by writing songs that were frothy and unbelievably catchy, as only Swedish tunesmiths can. After the demise of The Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears going onto more overtly sexual material, he seemed to disappear but in 2005 he bounced back with a vengeance with the likes of Kelly Clarkson, Pink and latterly Katy Perry.
