Royksopp
Band Tromsø Norway Formed 1998
Royksopp formed in 1998 in Tromsø, Norway. Royksopp has 6 chart appearances on 6 radio countdowns from 3 stations on RockLists, spanning 2010–2026.

The station that charted Royksopp most often is The Colorado Sound (Fort Collins–Denver, CO), with 3 appearances.
Röyksopp's Melody A.M. is the debut of two childhood friends from Tromsø, Svein Berge and Torbjørn Brundtland, who formed the duo in 1998 during the Bergen Wave. After trying on one electronic style after another, they put that record out on Wall of Sound and it planted them firmly in the electronica scene.
The sound is chilly and cozy at once: plush synth-pop, ambient drift and house rhythms, melodies that feel like northern light filtered through frosted glass. "Eple" is the one that sums it up, a bubbling, playful tune that sounds like a video game dreaming of summer.
They never stopped tinkering. The Inevitable End, in 2014, brought "Running To The Sea", a darker, sweeping piece of electronic pop. Along the way they have won seven Spellemannprisen, collected two Grammy nominations, toured the world with elaborate stage shows in eccentric costumes, and topped the album charts in several countries.
