Absolute Music
Absolute Music is a series of compilation albums where each album is composed of current and popular pop songs. The series is released by the compilation label EVA Records and started in Sweden in November 1986. At the beginning of the 90s, the series also came to Norway and Denmark with releases adapted to the individual countries.
The first Absolute Music album in Norway came in March 1991 under the name Absolute Music 1. The collections were first released with only three albums a year, the first one in March, one in September, and one in December. From 1998, they started releasing an extra record in June, and the collection is now released four times a year. Absolute Music had its heyday in the ‘90s where they could sell over 200,000 copies a year. In 2007, they sold around 35,000 copies.
EVA Records is also behind other Absolute series such as Absolute Hits, Absolute Dance, Absolute Reggae, and Absolute Kids. The label has the rights to the name Absolute.
