February 18, 20169 yr 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.
February 19, 20169 yr Nadia (who reached #27 in 2004) was from Portugal. Oh, yeah forgot about Nadia. Edited February 19, 20169 yr by N-S
February 21, 20169 yr 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! :)

August 8, 20204 yr 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.

August 9, 20204 yr I hadn't heard it and I was alive at the time. :lol: I was alive at the time too Obviously it didn't get a huge amount of support, but just saying it did get serviced to media.
