QUOTE(Bjork @ Feb 18 2016, 12:50 PM)  cannot think of any other Portuguese act at all... According to Wikipedia, the Portuguese 2009 Eurovision entry hit #158. But I guess Rui Da Silva is the only one to hit the UK top 100. Some other Portuguese acts have had some success in other European countries but the UK is total different ballgame. |

Great work! Interesting to see. I'd also be interested in Greece, Austria and Switzerland if you get around to it as I would imagine there are a few but perhaps not loads!

Ooh awesome to see this back!
I assume Daði is the only new entry for Iceland since the last chart since IIRC Kaleo never entered the Top 100 officially but spent a while in the sales only chart. This post has been edited by diva thin muffin: 27th July 2020, 03:44 PM |

QUOTE(simonf @ Jan 31 2016, 03:03 PM) I will never understand why they never pushed Aisha here, it was massive in Europe in 2003 and would have done well here too i'm sure. One of those weird cases that a huge hit in Europe never crosses over here. Old post to respond to, but they actually did push Aisha here. I remember seeing it on one of the music channels. It either didn't chart or they pulled it. |
