The song from 1988, Stad i Ljus, is from a very popular artist but also it has a lot of listens on Spotify because it's become part of student culture in Sweden to play that song at the end of every party to finish off the evening (and to tell people the party's over)
Apparently I’m missing out on a whole lot of good tunes. So many years of national finals to check out. I like that challenge. Hopefully your back and body? are feeling much better now guys 🎉

Woohoo!! 🥰🥰 Hey you funny guys! 😂 Thanks for this video, a good setup for the upcoming Mello-Final! Well, it would be strange if I didn't know all these 30 songs 😄😄. Gotta love my country here, so many catchy tunes! 🥰 Well done both of you Georgi you were close to 18. Some info: Sarek was a folk-pop band with many songs. They disbanded as a group in 2012. Tommy Körberg is/was one of our most professional singers, has won awards, appeared in musicals, etc. Felix Sandman is friends with Benjamin Ingrosso. They have made songs together and a "Hyllningsmedley" as an interval act in Mello. Arvingarna is one of Sweden's most famous dance bands, in 2020 they won the title "Dance Band of the Year". Here comes a present for you: Cornelia Jacobs - Hold Me Closer (Svensktoppen 60 år). Performed with symphony orchestra!! I didn't like Samir & Viktor this year, feels like we know that now. Georgi: "Every time we see them they wear less and less clothes" 😂😂. Omg, ABBA, legends, gotta love their outfits 😍. Personally, I would have changed some of these songs. And so to yesterday's Mello heat 4. I'm upset that Scarlet "Circus X" didn't go straight to the finals. "They slayed" with the most impactful staging I have seen for a while 😈🤩. I liked Dotter and Danny too, but I had changed one of them. Looking forward to whooping it up to the finals 😊😉💖💖.
@@JNL76 Hello my friend! 🤗 Haha, I don't know why it works now!? Apparently it does 😃, but I dare not fully trust it yet. I still can't comment on Denmark for example, very strange!! I'm relieved. I tried commenting with some other accounts on other channels for a while, and suddenly I managed to get the comment on Latvia yesterday. 😊 Nice to see you again too! 😊 See you later! 💖💖
@@susanneekelund2425 Yeeeaayyy 🙂. My son says you might need to update the RUclips app on your phone. The best way is to delete the app completely from your phone and download it again. But I suppose you already did that?
@@JNL76 @JNL76 Oh thanks to you and your son! 🌺 Yes, I've already done it several times and more, but I still can't comment from the app😣. The most important thing is that I get the comments in now via the web browser.😊 Knock on wood! Have a wonderful day, now I'm going to unpack a lamp I bought. It will be fun to hear your opinions about the Mello songs later 😃💖🌺🤗
I Knew 29, I didn't know Sarek & Timotej were brill, I have both their albums on my phone even though I don't know a word of Swedish, you need to react to Scarlet with Circus X, they blew my mind last Saturday.
6:25 Sarek has a song that is VERY popular to this day. If you play this at any party in Sweden people will love it and sing along and it's even played at sport events: /watch?v=oUwrEkR49po 8:07 This is played at most parties as a last song before going home or going to the club. Or even the club plays is as a last song. Very popular to this day.
700 million stream for Loreen on those two numbers, but Euphoria is actually split into two versions, so if you add the Album version in there it goes over 850 or 900
From the beginning of time? I don't think MelFest has been going that long Shane 🤣 Ooh Shane, on the topic of Sean Banan singing a song about a Banana, he was actually one of the writers of Matt's song in Malta this year. Which is probably why he got the Banana reference Oh dear Shane, your lack of knowledge of pre-1999 Eurovision has come and bit you in the bottom here 😜 When am I gonna educate you on the older days? I can educate Georgi at it too, a two for one bundle 🤣 This was a nice Sunday viewing, I knew pretty much all of them, just about two or three I couldn't sing from the top of my head. And awww, I wear glasses, thanks for considering me sexy guys, I am all embarrassed now 🤣
Yeeeeaaayyy, Sunday morning, my two favourite ESC boys in the world together, two bling bling pens, Georgi being his own funny self, Shane being this amazing walking ESCwiki, my day couldn't start better 😍😍. But gosh, what the heck did you do??? My back, my whole body 🤔🤔🤔??? Ok, so I am extremely disappointed with myself, I only knew 15 😰!!! But...Georgi 17 + Loreen Tattoo = 18😉 . Conversation that made my day: Georgi: "Let's not overdo it now, you're just old" , Shane: "Yeah, it's true🤦♂" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks lovelies and have a great WOOPY sunday 🤓🤓🤓
@@georgikanevESC Yeah so you're right, he is old🤣🤣🤣🤣. He's the king and he is instructing you to be the heir of his kingdom 🤣🤣🤣 Fun fact, if he's old, I'm a dinosaur 🦕🙈😉
“Let’s not over do it now… you’re just old” 😂😂😂😂… 👓… omg I don’t want this ESC season to end 🥲… Georgi doing mathematics on camera, I could see numbers and formulas coming out of his ears 😂… thanks guys!
Out of the top 30 listened to Melfest songs of all time on Spotify (before Eurovision 2023) - how many do you know'
All
But I'm Swedish and born in 1973.
And a mellonerd...

There is an updated video from this year. Loreen's Tattoo knocked ABBA off the the top spot.
