Ukraine: Shady lady tops charts

This week, Ani Lorak's Shady Lady tops the official Ukrainian Top 40 airplay chart, bulleting from spot #5 last week. Ani thus becomes the first Ukrainian Eurovision contestant to achieve that before the contest.

Shady lady entered the Ukrainian Top 40 Airplay chart six weeks ago, reached spot #5 last week and now it can be seen at number one. No other Eurovision entry has achieved that in Ukraine before the contest itself. In the same chart Ruslana, the 2004 winner, falls from #2 to #5 after peaking at number 1 with Vidlunnjya Mrij and Tina Karo'sl (Ukraine 2006) Poljus Pritjazenija remains at #24 after spending 22 weeks in the chart.

Recently Ani was in Belgium to promote her Eurovision entry and she was caught on camera by Eurovision.tv. The popular Ukrainian singer tells the fans why they should vote for her song in Belgrade.

A very special thank you to Alex Amos for the report.

Great song, and will probably be a great performance as well. As for Sweden - great performance and a very plain and dull song... (since lots of people seem to talk about the competition between the two..)

ANOMC, if your predictions are so reliable, why don't u invest your money in the lottery or something like that? Or make some money working as an astrologist or fortune-teller.

u know what whould make an uncivilised freak really mad? not getting the attention they need....even in an internet page (that's becoz they dont get the attention they need in their family) hehehe! let me explain! a person who says that sirusho n kalomira are only good to f*ck with n a few days later he praises them for being so cute n having good voices, is just retarded! a person who accuses sb of using swearing while he uses words like "f*ck" is retarded! a person who accuses sb of being childish coz they make fun fun of his profile na,e n the next day does it himself, is retarded! a person who argues n insults half of the members in this site n the next day remembers nothing n does the same thing is retarded! combine all this to one person and you'll have "night of musical comedy"!!! hahaha! plz dont waste your time talking to retards let alone apologising to them!

Sweetheart if there is one foo it's you... all of those Polls are done by the same people. Eurovision fans like you and me. So what are they worth, as they only represent 1 % of the amount of people voting on the evening itself. So who is the fool ? No you are only trying to convince yourself and some others to vote for that cheap song,.... What if Charlotte won't go through ? Ahat if she does a Kate Ryan ? Last time you attacked me by saying that you can not Kate with some qualitysinger like Charlotte. I asked you, what did she do after her victory in 99 ? You never answered my qustion. Although the answer is quite easy, nothing nada niente... Kate from the other side had numerous hits all over Europe... So please do not call me a fool, first start looking at yourself and ask yourself the question WHY people attack (if you want to call it that) you....

Still the Macedonian song is the best, and I think it will go high this year on the final score list: For those who havent seen it yet all 6 language versions of the video are online: www.youtube.com/fonuniverzitet

With Armenia they look as the strongest from the pop songs plus Ani is GREAT onstage(not to mention she is the most sexy this year).iam waiting it to do well but i wont a new country to win.Its going to be hard for the first entries at semi2 BUT Turkey having a different song (which i have as the dark horse this year...) doesnt seem to have a problem.

Sylvia Lorak is back! Or perhaps Ani Night sounds better? I'm off her since the London party. Playing Sylvia Night won't really help her career. But good luck anyway!

Just saw her video on one of the UK music channels! So excited!
