But this time it's not just another week on the first place, but also a new record of most weeks at number one for Norwegian ESC entry. The previous record from 31 years belonged to Jahn Teigen with "Mil Etter Mil". Here is the list of all Norwegian songs to the ESC that appeared on the singles chart and their highest positions.

In 1995, the Secret Garden has not issued in their country a single with the ESC winning song "Nocturne", but this composition was on the album "Songs From A Secret Garden" which was for a week on the first place of the albums chart.
