[1] These differed significantly from the government owned Sveriges Radio stations that were largely directed towards an older, more mature audience.

[1] The pirate radio station aimed largely towards young adults and teenagers, playing almost exclusively rock and pop music rather than having talk shows or other programming.

[6] This is what largely inspired Sveriges Radio to start their own chart list which wasn't based on record sales but rather audience feedback.

[7] Unlike most contemporary record charts, Tio i Topp was largely based on feedback from audiences, mostly consisting of teenagers.

[8] It was also spread out in order to ensure the fact that most parts of Sweden got a say in popular music, as it could variate from Malmö one week to Kiruna the next.

[11] One of the earlier examples of a "röstkupp" involved the rock band the Shanes who reached number one on Tio i Topp with their single "Let Me Show You Who I Am"; they had performed in Luleå the day before, which led to 97% of all votes from that town going to the Shanes,[12] whereas only 8% voted on them in Stockholm.

[14] To combat potential "röstkupper", Sveriges Radio introduced a third town to vote for songs, starting on 3 September 1966.

[14] When rock band Science Poption did one by giving out free concert tickets to audience members in 1967, its status as a permanent jury city was disestablished.

[14] When Sveriges Radio had enough they removed all three jury cities altogether in 1968, instead relying on Statistiska centralbyrån (SCB) to phone up 400 random teenagers across Sweden every week; this system was used until the end.

[16] The show utilized several hosts, some of which would become successful in their own right as television presenters, while others remained obscure in media history.

[18] During the summer of 1962–1966, Tio i Topp was replaced by Sommartoppen,[6] where there was only a jury in one city, but there was only round of voting instead of the three-part that was in the main program.
