Norsktoppen
Norsktoppen was a musical hit list at NRK Radio, with songs by Norwegian artists.[1] Until 1986, the songs had to be in Norwegian. Norsktoppen started airing in 1973, once a week. On Thursday, 21 February 2008, it became known to the show host that Norsktoppen would be canceled on 1 January 2009.[1] The decicion to close down the show as outdated raised some public debate, including an interpellation in the Storting raised by representative Ulf Erik Knudsen to the Minister of Culture.[2]
As only songs with Norwegian artists were included, Norsktoppen came to be an important tool for the Norwegian recording industry.[3]
