Songs like these take a bit of time to get into.

I guess you are right about that, which made people overlook it among all the other songs...

On another note it was #5 in the Australian televote with nearly 34k votes

I thought this song was a bit generic, the melody reminded me of about 3 other songs. But still, it deserved to do better than some of the other trash!

I guess you're right. I was surprised though that juries did not support it.

Anyway, it's a radio-friendly song and we still love it <3

Eventhough it underperformed in Eurovision that doesn't change it managed to hit Gold in Denmark the month before the contest, whereas our 2011 entry was certified Gold 4 months after ESC last year, and our 2011 entry actually did great for eurovision standards in Denmark!

Last year's entry charted for 7 weeks in singles chart and 4 weeks in top 10. Soluna's song has spent 8 weeks in top 40 so far!!!

Soluna in Greek teen magazine:

THe article says that she is the Avril Lavigne of Eurovision...also it includes her bio, the lyrics of the song and a few words from Soluna saying that no matter what the result will be, she will keep on singing in studios, music halls, streets...

But unlike the past Danish entries this wont get lots of its sales following ESC, because it underperformed in the contest! :oops:

It doesn't change this is a bigger hit in Denmark than our two top 5 ESC entries from the past two years though!
