Norsktoppen was a musical hit list at NRK Radio, originally playing songs exclusively by Norwegian artists.[1] Until 1986, the songs had to be in the Norwegian language. Norsktoppen started airing in 1973, once a week. Norsktoppen was canceled on 1 January 2009.[2] This decision—to close down the show as outdated—raised some public debate, including an interpellation in the Storting raised by representative Ulf Erik Knudsen to the minister of culture.[3] As only songs with Norwegian artists were included, Norsktoppen came to be an important tool for the Norwegian recording industry.[4]
