Darf ich als Amerikaner fragen, warum so viele finnische Künstler das gleiche Albumcover-Format verwenden?

    Use? These are the age of your parents. These were made by one company (Fazer) and as noted already, compilations. So what do you put on the cover if you make compilations for artists? Well, the artists.

    Those are hit compilations of popular 1970s – 1980s (?) artists. You will find more about it from the Finnish Wikipedia page “20 suosikkia”.

    I have a nostalgic memory from my childhood of seeing those CDs sold at gas stations, all in the same special rack.

    This is a DeepL translation from the finnish Wikipedia site, as there is no english equivalent.

    > 20 Suosikkia is a compilation CD series by Warner Music Finland from its own catalogue, Musiikki-Fazer. The first 20 Suosikkia collections were released in 1995 and the last ones in the early 2000s. In addition to the songs, most of the collection includes a short history of the artist’s career on the cover. Fazer Finnlevy continued to produce independently within the company until May 1998 with releases.

    > The majority of the albums in the 20 Suosikkia series consist of collections by Finnish hit and pop artists, but to some extent the series has also released rock albums. In its later stages, the series also included collections of music by various hit songwriters and composers. In addition, the series has published collections with different themes, such as rock and pop hits from different decades.

    What others have said, which makes this kinda redundant to answer anymore. They are 20 hits complications from same record company. So in other words they are not original album releases but, 20 hits comps. It was kinda like, you had to achieve certain popularity from that record company to get your 20 hits made, which was easy pick choice for customers to get the best from the artist without bying many CDs ergo easy good choice to get into the music fast and thus easy/fast money for company. It’s just “best of” and that’s all there is to it.
