Sweden SWEDEN 2016 - Frans - If I Were Sorry

[DanielLuis]

That song that some people said this song is plagiarising, "Catch & Release" is now being used in the commercial of a portuguese brand. It's always airing in the TV and the buildup to the chorus is pretty much the same.
It annoys me SO MUCH every time that advert comes on, I can't even stand it anymore

Frans continues to advance on the charts. This is truly remarkable! He has been steady for weeks on the global Spotify top200 chart despite it being completely dominated by American streams (Frans is currently at position 92 when this is written)

Are the numbers in brackets the number of times the song has been bought?

No, the number of unique streams, which I think means you need to stream at least half the song for it to count. I'm uncertain how they count if you have a song on repeat, but I suspect there's a limit.

Oh ok. It's interesting how Sound of Silence as almost catched up to Frans in Sweden.

matt simons - catch & release (deepend remix) reminds me of this song. It's similar, isn't it?

Actually DanielLuis wrote about it above, sorry, I haven't noticed.

Once again, the international juries have proven to be the most powerful weapon/tool Eurovision has ever seen. Ever since it was introduced in 2011, we haven't left the top 13 and if you discount Robin Stjernberg in 2013 (who was ranked 3rd by juries), we haven't left the top 5 ever since! Our average ranking through the latest 6 contests (in which the international juries have been active helping us choose our entry) is 4.33!

^^ Yes, bless them

Not surprised to see Frans as the most successful artist this year, he was amazing. The song is just so good and the type of thing we'd hear on the radio any day of the year.

This is the 2016 entry that has stuck in the minds of people I think.

Was it? That's great!

Like, I wish it was Radio 1, but the fact it was on BBC at all I'm impressed

 

[Smudy]

It's being played on german radios now.

 

[julien4ESC]

Also in France on our biggest radio station NRJ. They have never played eurovision song before

 

[Mattan]

I'm hearing reports from people hearing the Swedish entry on the radio in the US as well as Mexico. Looks like Frans has gone global.

Kände igen mig själv när han pratade om tomheten när allt var över, kände precis samma sak, vilket gjorde att man var lite nere mentalt under 1 1/2 vecka efteråt, nu är det bättre igen.

Avslutningsvis måste jag säga att jag trodde inte Frans skulle hamna topp 5, men jag förstår att han fick mycket telefonröster efter sitt fenomenala framträdande i Globen, när jag direkt efter såg hur han flög upp på Itunes-listorna riktigt högt trodde jag ett tag att han till och med hade chans på att segra i telefonröstningen men en 6:e plats är med bravur mycket väl godkänt

Stick to English please.
