Brinck

Despite several jokes and nasty comments about the national selection Sieneke’s Sha-la-lie – Ik Ben Verliefd is now at the top of the Dutch single chart. The Dutch entry for the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest has turned out to be a love it or hate it song. The Danish entry for the 2009 Contest is still on the chart in the Netherlands - in a Dutch version.

Delegates from the UK and beyond attended the 4th OGAE  Bash in Birmingham.  A day of thrills, spills, and unlikely winners.  Plus who would win the annual Stars in their Eurovision Eyes contest for 2009?

Danish broadcaster, DR, has announced the details of their selection process for the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest.

A Danish newspaper is mobilising forces in an attack on neighbour country Sweden. They want Malmö in compensation for the zero points in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest. Politicians and military experts have so far joined the movement to plan an attack, probably on 1st of August.

Eurovision Song Contest winner Alexander Rybak is having success on the chart in Ireland where also the local hope Sinead Mulvey & Black Daisy is doing well. Icelandic Yohanna is represented on the single chart as well - and an ABBA album can soon celebrate 100 weeks on the Irish chart.

The polish broadcaster has today released the full televoting & jury results from the 2009 semifinal and final. Results shows that Azerbaijan scored a huge win in the semifinal over Norway and that Denmark benefited a lot from the jury.

The official album with all 42 participating songs is selling well in Denmark and Norway while the Swedish single chart practically is flooded by this year’s entries. Alexander Rybak is, to no surprise, popular in all three Scandinavian countries.

In Denmark close to 1.5 million people watched the Eurovision Song Contest, it is 50% higher than last year and gives a good market share of 68%. People are however not satisfied with Brinck’s 13th place – and just like him they are complaining, especially towards Sweden.

The results of both semifinals have now been released by the EBU. They make interesting reading. The jury overturned the telephone vote to save countries in each of the semifinals. Quite annoying if your country finished 10th in the phone vote.
