Loreen Still Atop iTunes Charts

According to the latest update of the pan-European iTunes songs charts, Loreen has a firm grip on several tallies across the region. Despite topping the UK tally earlier this week, ‘Euphoria’ has slipped. It is currently No.4 after Rudimental, fun. and Rihanna. Loreen has also lost the top position in Ireland to Flo Rida’s ‘Whistle.’ Another strong competitor is the Brazilian singer Gusttavo Lima, whose ‘Balada (Tchê tcherere tchê tchê)’ tops the tallies in the Netherlands and Switzwerland. Following the success of Michel Télo and Luan Santana, ‘Balada’ is a pop country track.

Supporting the pan-European success, Lorreen canceled an appearance in Jönköping earlier this week according to SvD.

Loreen’s Euphoria Tops the Swedish Digital Songs Chart

Loreen tops the Digital Songs chart — Loreen knocks Michel Teló off the Top

As I predicted earlier, Loreen’s ‘Euphoria’ manages to dethrone Michel Teló’s ‘Ai se eu te pego’ on Diglistan, which is solely based on downloads and streaming. Following the countdown on the radio, I was thrilled to hear that Loreen sold by far more than her competitors. Danny Sacuedo’s ‘Amazing’ bows at No.2, while Lisa Miskovsky’s ‘Why Start a Fire’ enters at No.4. Both of them will compete against Loreen come Saturday when the final of Melodifestivalen takes place at the Ericsson Globe Arena in Stockholm.

According to a recent Aftonbladet poll, Loreen is leading by far (getting almost 40 percent of the votes). Fingers crossed!

Loreen – Euphoria

Loreen’s Euphoria Highest New Entry on Hitlistan

Loreen charts with Sober in addition to Euphoria

Loreen’s ‘Euphoria’ bows at No.12 on this week’s official Swedish singles chart, becoming the highest placed Melodifestivalen entry as well as the highest new entry. Loreen also places ‘Sober’ at No.60, a track that initially peaked at No.6 on the digital songs chart Digilistan upon its release last September.

Earlier, I predicted that Loreen would replace Michel Teló, whose ‘Ai se eu te pego’ remains atop for a second weekend running. Fingers crossed that this will be the case in due course. Danny Saucedo’s ‘Amazing’ enters at No.20. Sean Banan’s ‘Sean den förste banan’ also enters the chart, albeit a low position (No.45).

I’m pretty confident that the Melodifestivalen songs will climb next week as they haven’t enjoyed a full week of sales yet.
