I wonder if Radio 2 will add either of them to their playlist, they'd be fools to ignore The Common Linnets, even though it's hardly commonplace to add a foreign Eurovision runner-up to the playlist.

 

Oh I read this as Radio 1 and was going to say The Common Linnets are about as far from R1 fare as you can get :kink: But I agree 'Calm After The Storm' is perfect for R2 and I wouldn't be surprised to see it get playlisted. Hope not though ~

5. Calm After the Storm (Eurovision 2014 - The Netherlands) - The Common Linnets

189. Euphoria (Single Version) - Loreen

 

Boo at Basim and Sanna re-overtaking Conchita's 2nd version but 2 versions top 30 is great, looking likely 'Rise Like A Phoenix' should outpeak 'Satellite' (and of course 'Running Scared')! :D

 

EDIT: Oh I see Rich beat me to an update and it's obviously updated while I was making this post :lol:

A reminder of Eurovision songs making the top 100 in the previous years in the digital era:

 

2007 (top 75 only)

05 Scooch - Flying The Flag (For You) [united Kingdom, 22nd]

28 Verka Serduchka - Dancing Lasha Tumbai [ukraine, 2nd]

 

2008

67 Andy Abraham - Even If [united Kingdom, 25th]

71 Kalomoira - Secret Combination [Greece, 3rd]

 

2009

10 Alexander Rybak - Fairytale [Norway, 1st]

27 Jade Ewen - It's My Time [united Kingdom, 5th]

49 Yohanna - Is It True? [iceland, 2nd]

85 Alex Swings Oscar Sings! - Miss Kiss Kiss Bang [Germany, 20th]

100 Waldo's People - Lose Control [Finland, 25th]

 

2010

30 Lena - Satellite [Germany, 1st]

81 Jessy Matador - Allez Ola Olé [France, 12th]

85 Tom Dice - Me And My Guitar [belgium, 6th]

 

2011

16 Blue - I Can [united Kingdom, 11th]

40 Jedward - Lipstick [ireland, 8th]

61 Ell & Nikki - Running Scared [Azerbaijan, 1st]

76 Eric Saade - Popular [sweden, 3rd]

78 A Friend In London - New Tomorrow [Denmark, 5th]

 

2012

03 Loreen - Euphoria [sweden, 1st]

60 Engelbert Humperdinck - Love Will Set You Free [united Kingdom, 25th]

77 Ivi Adamou - La La Love [Cyprus, 16th]

 

2013

15 Emmelie De Forest - Only Teardrops [Denmark, 1st]

66 Gianluca - Tomorrow [Malta, 8th]

72 Robin Stjernberg - You [sweden, 14th]

80 Margaret Berger - I Feed You My Love [Norway, 4th]

93 Bonnie Tyler - Believe In Me [united Kingdom, 19th]

 

So the record to beat is 5 top 100 entries - The Common Linnets, Molly, Conchita Wurst, Basim and Sanna Nielsen look almost certain to make the chart so it'll be a new record if Pollapönk can as well which I think they could! Wouldn't even rule out a couple of others being in contention as well :o

Verka *.*

 

Hoping that Ruth can get a top 100 hit from this!

Their album (which is up for pre-order) is #21

On iTunes.

 

They are also the 14th most downloaded artist on iTunes and really are slaying worldwide.

I'm so proud of them :snif:

Who was our entry on 2010? Didn't even chart!

 

Josh Dubovie - he could only manage a peak of #179 with 'That Sounds Good To Me'!

YASSSSSS MOLLY! Top 10 combined! Please stick. :( Hoping FireLight can get top 40 at some point too and for Pollapönk to make it officially, too! Great to see Basim do so well too!

 

As much as I find The Common Linnets rather "meh", it is a lovely song and I really am not surprised to see it do so well. It's only a matter of time until the UK start going properly country crazy anyway, I think.

It's only a matter of time until the UK start going properly country crazy anyway, I think.

 

I really don't see why this would ever happen if it hasn't already. The pseudo-country dance/pop fad has been going for about a year now and is surely nearing an end and this is the first sign of any actual country music doing anything here since then and it's only going to be in the chart for a couple of weeks unless Radio 2 pick it up (which to be fair could happen). Not to mention the complete failure of The Voice and to a lesser extent the other talent shows to make country happen so far :P

Josh Dubovie - he could only manage a peak of #179 with 'That Sounds Good To Me'!

 

I'm not exactly a Eurovision follower but that is pretty much the only UK entry I have literally no memory of!

Can't believe Molly has stalled! She'd have benefitted well from the top 10 effect, as The Common Linnets have!

Disappointing that 'Moj Svijet' is so far behind all of the others (and even 2 DNQs), was my 4th favourite song of the night after 'Silent Storm', 'Running' and 'Rise Like A Phoenix'! Although I can see why a Montenegrin-language ballad didn't exactly capture the UK public's affection that much to be fair :lol:

 

Conchita coming to overtake Molly :o

Molly has an entry top 20 and 30, if this continues she will be top 10 next week!

Poor Ruth :(

 

Hopefully #67 and #201 is enough for a top 100 smash!

Really hope Molly can somehow manage to sneak a top 10 out of this, though top 15 would still be amazing

I'm sure she would have rather got a top 15 with 'Children Of The Universe' rather than come top 15 in Eurovision! Hopefully Molly climbs a little after she's played on Capital & Radio 1 today.

Well, no doubt. I'm proud of what she's done even if it didn't do anything like as well as it could/should have done.

I'm sure she would have rather got a top 15 with 'Children Of The Universe' rather than come top 15 in Eurovision! Hopefully Molly climbs a little after she's played on Capital & Radio 1 today.

 

I doubt she'll be played on Capital. They'll somehow try and exclude her from the 11-40 section. She's only guaranteed a play if she gets top 10 by 6pm.

Top 15 would be the best charting position for a UK entry since 2007, so that'll be good for me, although top 10 would be the icing on the cake <3
