With more than 10 chart-topping hits in the group's homeland, Hov1 is one of the most popular hip-hop acts in Swedish history. The group was formed in 2015 by rappers Ludwig Kronstrand, Noel Flike, Dante Lindhe, and Axel Liljefors Jansson. The musicians landed a recording contract with Universal Music Sweden in 2016 and released the single "Hur kan du säga saker," then scored their first Top 10 hit with 2017's "Gift." "Pari" topped the Swedish singles chart that same year, followed in 2018 by the Number 1 hits "Hon Dansar Vidare I Livet," "Still," and "Auf Wiedersehen." Hov1's self-titled 2017 album topped the Swedish albums chart, too, as did 2018's Gudarna på Västerbron, 2019's Vindar på Mars, 2020's Montague, and 2021's Barn av vår tid. Each record also contained a number of chart-topping singles, with the group scoring five Number 1 hits ("Barn av vår tid," "Gamora," "Tokken," "Flickorna I Båstad," and "Räkna dagger") in 2021 alone. In the following years, the streak continued with the No. 1s "30 personer" (2022), then "Lilla B" and "Grät" (2023), taken from the album Jag önskar jag brydde mig mer and followed by "Saudade", featuring Håkan Hellström. In 2024, Hov1 continues its chart epic with titles from the album … Men det gör jag egentligen, including “Försent” with Seinabo Sey.
