Schlager Party in London tonight

UK goes Schlager with Agnes at No. 1

Tonight sees the next UK Eurovision Schlager Party take place in London's Enclave bar. The event is the first since Norway's Eurovision Song Contest victory and looks set for an extra celebration. Agnes, who sang Love love love in Melodifestivalen earlier this year is set to be named the United Kingdom's number one entry on the charts this weekend with Release me.

Agnes is a former Idols winner in Sweden and reached the Melodifestivalen final earlier this year with Love love love. Her former hit single Release me, which charted across Scandinavia in 2008 has this week been released in the United Kingdom and has rocketed up the charts. It now looks set to be named the United Kingdom's biggest selling song of the week when the latest charts are announced on Sunday.

Alexander Rybak, who won the Eurovision Song Contest in Moscow earlier this month is still in the charts, and Starpilots, who reached the Melodifestivalen second chance round are still in the top 40 with higher.

All this makes tonight's Schlager Party even more of a celebration for fans of the Eurovision Song Contest and schlager. The night takes place at The Enclave from 21:00-03:00 and tickets can be bought via the official event website at www.schlagerparty.co.uk

Tickets are available in advance for £10 or £7 with a Schlager Party loyalty card, there will also be a limited number of tickets available on the door for £10.

I imagine it's difficult to get into any top 10 these days (file sharing etc), and people generally don't care about top 10 songs anymore, like when I was 11 yrs old recording by tape recorder in 1977 Kate Bush : Wuthering Heights, when the expectation of the the top 20 was so important, now...nothing!
I miss those days somehow, was all so clear, now it's tophit this, and download top 10 that, with no clear result..."those were the bad old days " maybe but kind of comforting too...

I'm suprised by it, cuz normaly not many songs make it even to the tipparade, so this is quit different this year

Actually, she's set to be number 3, not number 1. It seems to be selling well on downloads, but I don't think it has a physical release, which is what's stopping her from over-taking Dizzie Rascal & Black Eyed Peas. Hope she reaches number 1 though, her song is much better. If she becomes big over her, maybe the Swedish public will think of voting her to Oslo if she takes part in MF next year.
