Schlager music (German: Schlager, synonym of "hit-songs" or "hits"), also known in the United States as entertainer music or German hit mix, is a style of popular music prevalent in Central and Northern Europe, and Southeast Europe (in particular Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Flanders, Republic of Macedonia, Slovenia, Serbia, Croatia, Poland, Hungary, Switzerland, Turkey, Scandinavia and the Baltic States) and also (to a lesser extent) in France. In Portugal, it was adapted and became pimba music.
