First time a Eurovision song has been No1 since we did it with Gina G in 1996!

And you heard it here first (thanks to Popbitch who tipped me off about it before even putting it into her own sheet).

Not that anybody seemed bothered.

Don't people care about music anymore? Or is it just my kind of music?

Nobody liked Chumbawamba or Who Let The Dogs Out either.

The ones I feel sad about are the huge hits that flopped because nobody else bothered...

At least I'm able to revive some of them (Alex Day doing She Walks Right Through Me after wanky Nick Raphael screwed it up for The Vacancy)...

Why should people like wanky Nick care? They are rich and middle aged and don't need to bother anymore...

The music industry is full of them. Eurovision? Who gives a fuck? Loreen gets to No1 despite them. What did Warners UK contribute? Fuck all.

errrm I posted a thread on Monday... do keep up!

Do keep up??? You'll be getting spanked on your budapest if you continue like this David!

Loreen on BBC Brekkie - euphoria No1 all over the world... what took so long? Are global programmers so deaf they needed Eurovision to hear a hit?

Good Lord, it's let me log in!

Was she actually on Breakfast? I've been disappointed with the seemingly paltry amount of airplay it's been receiving. Similar to Aleksander Rybak in 2009 who following Eurovision went in at number 10 but got no airplay and therefore dropped out again.

And as for smacking me on my budapest, well I'll tell you what you are Mr King....

Here she is on BBC Breakfast. I like her, and thought her performance on Saturday was superb.

Gary Barlow and the military bags currently at number two. With all the free plugs of xourse.

Very popular track the Loreen single, there's been a buzz about it online for a while.
Apparently the kids on Buzzjack were so hyped up by the win, that they actually broke
the servers of the site and took it down. Even Buzzjack's back-up board couldn't hold
the strain when they went over there.

Number 2 in the midweeks yet no BBC radio play.

Can anyone in the know explain why?

This is very nice and catchy but only 2000 views??
JK you should apply your Alex Day tactics to this and it would fly into the charts.

Well let's see how it does on Sunday J&B (who appears to have a slightly mistaken idea of the way things work in our beloved music industry; though he - or she - shares it with the majority of others residing in the sinecure that has become "the business").

The trouble with your vision J&B is that you've become so J&B you see bogeymen, tricks and fakes instead of reality.

Quite simply - Euphoria was a smash hit that almost nobody spotted (God knows why - I suspect most simply don't care) until Eurovision brought it to the attention of the millions that radio programmers (and TV programmers) were ignoring.

Not everything breaks through You Tube. It's just one new route of many and Eurovision is an old route that still works.

I don't care which route we take and no, J&B, I've never believed in hype for hype's sake. You hype when you know you have a hit. The majors' mistake was hyping because they had spent a fortune on a flop.

JK get a grip I know a lot more than you realise and besides I was not talking about Euphoria but about your song A Very Very Naughty Girl which is quite nice. Also by tactics I meant legit tactics and nothing wrong with hype as it is marketing so stop being defensive.

Speaking personally, the first time the song really struck me was when I saw her semi-final performance. Of course the song is key, but I found her performance electric and pretty unusual for Eurovision... alone on stage with almost no make up, barefoot, not much lighting, dancing like crazy. I've heard a lot of people mention her performance, and she herself said it was deliberately understated. I'm not sure that, had she gone for big fireworks and lots of buff dancers, she would have stood out so much.

But of course, without the song, there's nothing to sell.

let's have a look again at her performance........

This song is starting to grow on me...and so is she!
