Loreen’s Sweet Revenge

CHART SPOTLIGHT. Loreen failed to qualify for the Melodifestivalen final tonight, but the ex-Idol contestant got her sweet revenge earlier this week. Her “My Heart Is Refusing Me” crashes into No.9 on the Swedish singles tally.

Only finalists Eric Saade and Danny Saucedo chart higher. This means that Loreen beats finalists such as Linda Bengtzing, The Moniker and Sara Vargas. Loreen also manages to oust competition from Love Generation, whose “Dance Alone” enters at No.26 and Jenny Silvers’ ABB homage “Something in Your Eyes,” which bows at No.59.

Eric Saade Beats Danny Saucedo in Terms of Sales

CHART SPOTLIGHT. The two teenage heart throbs might fend off that they’re going head to head in the Melodifestivalen final, but the sales chart says otherwise. Eric Saade’s “Popular” vaults into No.1 on the singles tally, while Danny Saucedo’s “In the Club” leapfrogs 29-2 in its second week. According to the Swedish news daily Aftonbladet, Saade says that Sara Varga is a fierce competitor in Saturday’s final.

Saade’s entry from last year – “Manboy” – topped the chart for three weeks, spending a total 32 weeks on the chart. Danny Saucedo has topped the singles tally no less than thrice with “Tokyo” (2007), “Play It for the Girls” (2007) and “Radio” (2008). Prior to “In the Club,” his latest hit was the 2009 hit “All on You” which peaked at No.17.

The Swedish singles tally include no less than four entries in the top ten. Loreen failed to qualify to the final, still “My Heart Is Refusing Me” sells enough copies to bow at No.9. The Moniker, whose fight with his former ex-manager was covered in a recent blog post on WelcheMusic bows at No.15

Countdown to Sing in the Shower Day

Okay, WelcheMusic have to admit – we like singing in the shower. So, we were delighted to hear that we’re not alone and there’s even a day devoted for this and it’s happening tomorrow.

The day was actually founded to support the launch of JBL’s new two-in-one alarm clock and docking station OnTime Micro. The JBL OnTime Micro Shower Singing Survey found that 82% of 18-24 years olds sing in the shower, but it’s not just for youngsters – almost half (49%) of people aged 55+ do it too. Whatever your age, let your voice ring loud this Thursday!

The JBL Shower Singing Survey named Shakira as the singer that most people would like to perform a shower duet with. You know, her taps don’t lie…

France is the top shower singing country in Europe, with 71% of our French survey respondents enjoying a “chantez dans la douche.”
