No not at all, country is almost (well, on radio, entirely) non existant, and that goes pretty much for most of scandinavia. To most people, if you say you do country, they grin a yiihaaa and begin to linedance like a russian. If someone is putting out any country, it sounds like (very) traditional stuff. Taylor Swift was on the charts with "Love Story" recently in Denmark, though. Americana is quite popular in my home country Norway, though.

The germans have something called 'Tiroler music', which is accordion based folk and singalong (mostly for elders), but I don't know much about their preferences for country.
