Hasse's album is out now too, and JTR and Jon Henrik have both re-released their most recent albums with their Melodifestivalen entries tacked on.

 

I heard JTR's album last year, it's alright, Jon Henrik's is dire, one of the most dull and samey albums I've heard in years. Not listened to Hasse's yet/ever.

 

Meanwhile, the latest official Swedish charts:

 

1. Mans

3. Hasse (pensioner bagging that top three smash!)

5. Eric Saade

6. Samir & Viktor

8. Jon Henrik

10. Dinah Nah

12. Linus Svenning

14. Isa

27. Mariette

33. JTR

34. Magnus

86. Jessica

 

Not quite the ENTIRE TOP 16 domination of 2009, but still incredibly impressive and dominating by any country's standards. Other entries that crashed out earlier also fill the top 100...

Oh WOW at the cover of Hasse's 1987 album...it's like the sort of thing you'd see in a Buzzfeed '20 album covers you won't believe exist...'

OH CRIKEY

 

The charts are great, Dinah grabbing herself a top 10 makes me happy. I really don't think she'll have minded being last in the final, for her to make it AND grab a top 10 hit from it is a HUGE success. Delighted <3

Anyone know what's going on with the Absolute Music compilation series in Sweden? Usually the spring editions feature all of the Melodifestivalen finalists but there seems to be nothing on the release schedule and it would usually have come out by now :drama: I hope the series hasn't been canned.

Was sent an answer:

 

Hello,

 

The Company Eva Records HB, publisher of the Absolute plates are being phased out. It will not be released more tiles from here. Warner Music owns the brand so most likely they will give out something in the future but I do not know when.

Devastated! Such a good compilation series :o

Okay, apparently the club we are going to tonight has Army of Lovers perform! I am SO glad I didn't leave one day early! :D
I was in Malmo on Wednesday, and I am 99% sure I saw Molly Pettersson Hammar sitting in TGI's looking very sorry for herself eating a large bowl of ice cream.

So they were quite good even though they lip synched the entire time. I lost my shit over Rockin The Ride (like NO ONE knew what it was lmao) and Sexual Revolution. They had great energy amd were great onstage too.

Wooooow, well jel :o The closest I ever got to seeing Army Of Lovers was having my friend request rejected with a long message from Alexander Bard :lol:
Anybody who is going to the London preview party in April will have the pleasure of seeing Måns live! :o

Random, what did the message say? He follows me on Twitter incidentally *.*

The video background for 'Heroes' will have to be changed in Vienna due to plagiarism claims! :(

This could be a big blow as there is no denying that the video background is a key reason behind it's current popularity - hopefully they can change it without losing too much of the magic it brings!

I think it's current popularity is down to it being by far the best quality song of the year.

 

I'm sure they'll come up with something just as good.

I think the screen will be a big vote-grabber in Vienna though, just like the sand art was for Mika in 2011. The song didn't properly click with me until the live performance, so I do think that will be the case for quite a few people - and if the screen isn't as effective in that performance then it would be a disadvantage. I'm sure SVT recognise this though and will make sure to keep it as similar as possible!

Apologies if the point has already been made but didn't this guy say that gay sex is not natural?

 

IMO it would be a travesty if he becomes Conchita's successor.

Yes, although it was taken in a way he did not mean. Get over it.

No.

All that it ACTUALLY says is that they have to change the way that the animated figures look, not scrap the whole thing over three minutes. Very much a storm in a Gay Teacup here.

It got translated inaccurately. The word he used in Swedish was that it was a deviation, but the word translated doesn't carry the negative connotations that 'deviation' does in English - he basically got asked a loaded question on it and said that homosexuality was something that wasn't normal (in the same way as being left-handed isn't 'normal'), but that didn't mean it was wrong.
