Posted March 22, 200718 yr The United Kingdom's 2007 Eurovision Song Contest entry, Flying the flag for you has already scored a chart success, it has broken into the itunes top 40 chart just three days after it's release for download. The song is already at number 34, and climbing up the chart. The fastest ever entry for a Eurovision Song Contest entry in the United Kingdom. Scooch have drawn a line under the alleged controversy surrounding their victory at Making Your Mind Up and Terry Wogan's accidental blunder. They are now setting about the task of promoting the United Kingdom entry both at home and abroad. Tonight, they will be appearing on the Graham Norton show at 22:00 UK time on BBC2 to promote the song. Scooch are hoping that the United Kingdom fans will now unite behind the song and help push for a first United Kingdom victory in 10 years. There will be a chance to see the uncut version of the show at 22:30 on Sunday 25th March. Flying the flag (for you) can be purchased for 79 pence on itunes, each sale will contribute directly to the UK official charts. The last time a British entry to the Eurovision Song Contest reached the number one position was back in 1996 when Gina G hit top spot after the Eurovision Song Contest. Chart rules in the United Kingdom changed earlier this year, and each download on itunes counts equally to the sale of a CD single in the shops. You can purchase your copy (and support esctoday.com) by clicking here. There are ongoing discussions with record companies about releasing a hard copy version of the song, and there are several remixes being planned. Once a deal has been reached, Scooch will be attempting to take the song abroad for some promotional activity which they hope will help them achieve the United Kingdom's strongest result for many years.

March 22, 200718 yr The fastest ever entry for a Eurovision Song Contest entry in the United Kingdom. This made me laugh- itunes' chart has only been relevant for a couple of years anyway!
March 22, 200718 yr Author How did this get here?! It was in the Eurovision forum last time I looked.
March 22, 200718 yr How did this get here?! It was in the Eurovision forum last time I looked. It was moved, i thought it would be more relevant in here. It can always be moved back if you prefer.
March 23, 200718 yr they could have a big hit with this yet, i wonder what record company are actually releasing the phyisical release
March 23, 200718 yr They haven't got a record company yet... I think the single will enter low top 75 and then disappear and then re-appear in may... They deserve to enter though as they have done tons of promo this week
March 23, 200718 yr Go Scooch! I've checked on Itunes, and for me its still #30, but it looks like mine hasn't changed since last night.

March 23, 200718 yr This is really the first time a eurovision song has been immediately available for download. I foresee each UK eurovision entry charting on downloads for the next 10 years or more. Just being on TV and being voted for does that even if it's not that good.
March 23, 200718 yr It may be peaking be peaking too soon. It is a couple of months yet till Eurovision.
March 23, 200718 yr I was just looking for this thread in the eurovision forum, when i couldn't find it i thought i dream't it :lol:
