Why do so many Scandinavian bands sing in English?

Bands like ABBA, The Hives, Peter Bjorn and John, Datarock, I’m From Barcelona, The Cardigans, Shout Out Louds, Teddybears, A-ha, HIM, Efterklang, Raveonettes, Nekromantix, Aqua, Seabear…
…Why do they sing in English? I understand English is a popular second language in that part of the world, but why would they all write songs in languages that weren’t their own? That seems odd to me.
