Posted April 23, 200817 yr details: http://www.play.com/Music/CD/4-/5448110/-/...;searchsource=0 Seems to have been moved back a week from May 5th to May 12th :( oh well... I see Iceland's entrants are called Euroband here...time for a name change in my chart :D
April 24, 200817 yr I was hoping that the CDs would be in running order this time (a CD for each semi-final inc. the final countries voting in that semi), but it's still boring alphabetical order.
April 24, 200817 yr Bah, it's Eurobandið! :( Just cos they can't be bothered to find the character code for the last letter :smoke:
April 24, 200817 yr Author I bet on the night when the text comes up on screen it will say 'Euroband', just as to not confuse the audience in the UK :heehee:
April 24, 200817 yr I was hoping that the CDs would be in running order this time (a CD for each semi-final inc. the final countries voting in that semi), but it's still boring alphabetical order. AND they're still using "gb" has our ISO code. Everyone knows that it should be "uk". (Try telling those people in Northern Ireland that they don't count.) Bah, it's Eurobandið! :( Just cos they can't be bothered to find the character code for the last letter :smoke: They obviously are unaware that it's Alt+0240. (Mind you, what do you expect from a tracklisting that reads "23." and only lists Malta's song, but not their act?) Edited April 24, 200817 yr by DitzyNizzy
April 25, 200817 yr Can I just suggest that Eurobandið have probably chosen to be known as Euroband for the Contest, as many acts do, to make their name more Euro-friendly? Silvia Nott -> Silvia Night (Iceland 2006) Marija Sestic -> Maria (Bosnia-Herz 2007) Elena -> Helena (Greece 2005) Dmitry Koldun -> Koldun (Belarus 2007) Those are just the ones in my recent memory, so I don't think the tracklisting is wrong, and they will probably be known as Euroband either at their choice or their record company's Edited April 25, 200817 yr by Peter30

I wasn't aware of it being changed to Helena until I bought her album which had it spelt that way on the CD cover
April 25, 200817 yr Yes, I shall be keeping it as Eurobandið in my chart :heehee: Just as I keep it Elena Paparizou :smoke:
April 30, 200817 yr This is currently #10 on the pre-release chart on HMV and #21 on Amazon UK's pre-release chart. ^_^ Pretty good going.
May 1, 200817 yr Author cool! last year the compilation went top 20 in the UK iirc...hopefully it can again this year
May 3, 200817 yr Author how Peter :o It's not due out for another 10 days! I will be buying it on May 12th along with the 'Ultimate Eurovision Party' album :wub:
May 3, 200817 yr how Peter :o It's not due out for another 10 days! I will be buying it on May 12th along with the 'Ultimate Eurovision Party' album :wub: Not entirely legally. I think it's possibly already out in some countries. I still intend to buy a copy on the 12th but it's good to have all the official versions in one place a little earlier than I thought.

I haven't stumbled across it yet on any of the 'not entirely legal' sites that I use to find such things... I think last year I downloaded the official CD about a week before I bought it
