One can finally buy its music video on German iTunes!

Its price is 2,49 Euros right now.

Ah.. and the song is back on #6 on German iTunes charts!

Music videos sales will be counted for the single charts, as well or am I mistaken?

Yes, I did.

I bought it on iTunes as well as her music video and I bought its physical single on its day of release in Germany.
Moreover, I imported its Remix-EP from Sweden. This was a great idea, 'cause one can find seven tracks on it

Did you buy it?

by **NoAngels** » Sun Jul 22, 2012 8:29 pm

Of course. I imported it from Amazon.de.

That's great

She can be proud of having fans like us

Today I read on esctoday that Loreen's in Malta right now. She commented on SVT's choice of Malmö being next year's host city and said a few words about her upcoming debut album.

LOREEN ARRIVES IN MALTA

This year’s Eurovision winner Loreen arrived in Malta early this afternoon. Tomorrow the Swedish star will give a concert on the island as some fans and local press were waiting in the arrivals lounge at Luqa international airport. It was esctoday.com that last month exclusively revealed Loreen’s appearance in Malta.

Upon her arrival she gave a brief press conference in which she welcomed everybody for the concert to be held at the Malta Fairs and Convention Centre, Ta’ Qali. Asked by esctoday.com about her new upcoming album, Loreen replied that her new material is expected to be simple and dynamic. The news site also asked her about the SVT’s choice for next year’s host city and Loreen said that the city does not matter as long all the fans will fly to follow the Eurovision Song Contest.

It will be Loreen’s second visit in Malta as her winning entry Euphoria is highly popular on the island. The event in which Loreen will perform is being organised by Stand Out Events Malta. Malta’s 2012 hopeful Kurt Calleja was waiting at the airport to greet her. Together with his band he will appear in the same show Loreen will perform in.

The Swedish star enjoyed international success following her victory in Baku. Euphoria topped many European charts and reached number three on the UK official singles chart.

I`m finally starting to get into this song!

Good for the Maltese fans (where are you jlo17?) but i would prefer to see her promoting the song in bigger markets :oops:

I know what you mean. I think that she should promote "Euphoria" a bit more in the UK. It's #80 right now and I think that there's still some potential left.

That's amazing! Cannot wait to see your next personal charts update

#94

obviously less radio stations are playing it and it's understandable.

Loreen will not promote further the song in UK, she just did a few interviews and that's all. I WISH they could book her a performance on X Factor!!! (to coincide with the release of her album and the release of the second single)

#2 in Spanish Singles chart this week (new peak!)

by **Ruben** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 8:48 pm

Because last week promo I guess. She's also #2 at the airplay chart.

That's impressive, if you have in minde that Czech Republic didn't participate in Eurovision this year. They really should come back!

no they shouldn't unless they really want to participate and the czech tv promotes the contest in the country.

it's doing well on itunes because the song is getting airplay.

Loreen performed "My Hearts Is Refusing Me", "Euphoria" and Björk's song "Joga" in Malta.

I haven't found a video showin' her performin' "Joga" yet, but I got these:

My Heart Is Refusing Me
Euphoria

esctoday.com wrote this about her stay in Malta:

Yesterday Loreen performed in a show case event in Malta. In a forty minute show she was well received by the Maltese and Swedish fans who happened to be on the island.

This year’s Eurovision winner was accompanied with her five member band. The Swedish star performed songs like Yoga and last year’s Melodifestivalen entry My heart is refusing me. Loreen ended her show with the winning entry Euphoria. The Eurovision winning song topped many European charts and reached number three in the UK official singles chart.

This year’s Maltese representative Kurt Calleja did also perform together with his band. Apart of singing some commercial cover versions he also sang his entry for Baku; This is the night. The event was organised by standoutevents and took place at the Malta Fairs and Convention Centre. The venue was used for this year’s Maltese national final.

Loreen left Malta early this morning as tonight she will appear in Helsingborgsfestivalen.

They don't take Eurovision seriously in UK and France too, but the final got decent viewing ratings. I still believe they didn't promote it right. The entries they picked were not appropriate for Eurovision and most of them were messy.

I'm surprised Eurovision did not gain any interest there, as it is a popular show in Hungary and Slovakia.

by **nekoo3372** » Thu Jul 26, 2012 8:28 pm

Its not that popular in Slovakia too :lol:

somehow more people in the TV have more patience :lol:

by **Mainshow** » Sat Jul 28, 2012 9:20 pm

She finally got 18,000+ plays on my lastfm.

Cannot get enough of her. She better hurry up releasing her debut album!

Btw, I found a really nice blog on Loreen.
Its blogger is very into posting new pictures of her.

The contest was huge there in 2009 and 2010 but the interest slowed down in 2011 and this year the viewing rates were disappointing. (probably because the song received no airplay at all and the singer wasn't very popular). Still, Slovakia has showed some love for Eurovision in comparison to Czech Republic.

Euphoria is currently #5 on Slovakian Airplay chart

I think that I love Loreen even more!

I just checked her article on wikipedia and I found somethin' new about her engagement on human rights:

In July 2012, Loreen performed at Slavianski Bazaar in Belarus, where Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko was in attendance. During her visit to the country, she met with the wife of political prisoner Ales Bialiatski, Viasna representatives and independent journalists, and in a two-hour meeting expressed her words of support to political prisoners and signed the petition to ban the death penalty in the country. Loreen later stated she was fully aware of the risks that "speaking out" came with, including the possibility she could have been stopped or arrested at the airport when trying to return home.

This pharagraph refers to a Swedish article:
http://www.expressen.se/noje/loreen-tan ... er-brista/

I'm totally overwhelmed! Loreen is such an amazing Eurovision winner! She already met human rights activists in Azerbaijan (she was the only artists to do so!) and now she really has an opinion on Belarus' and its absurd ideology!

Thank God we've artists like her!

Loreen just confirmed that she's goin' to perfrom at Stockholm Pride on 2nd August!

by **NoAngels** » Mon Jul 30, 2012 8:32 pm

I think it really is the time for an album. She should stop these random appearances, I mean come on, people who have followed her from the start (like me) are bored of the same stuff she's been singing over and over each time...

Loreen honey, the album pretty please!
