It only makes #22 on the Swedish Singles Chart on the first week...Even På Promenad got into top-20! Hope it´d rise, though...

Maybe but it’s a bit understanding ... i mean the whole year was INCREDIBLY non stop for GT as it was 2003 for Per with Mazarin ... people are bit tired now not cause they don’t like the song but more because it’s time settle down we all had what was there to enjoy and we enjoyed it tremendously of course even Per needs a break ..so it makes sence ...
And it’s quite natural for a 3rd or 4th single release not be as successful as the 1st one ... yet 22 in Sweden sounds cool to me considering this and the fact that summer is over ..well done GT

given their gargantuan success of late I hardly think its worth losing sleep over :-)

Rox_nox: 22nd place ain’t that impressive. It don’t take that many copies sold to enter the top 20-chart.

So what’s the problem with not being impressive for some people? Does a song need a suberb chart position to be a great song? So many people have the album more than natural that the interess in the single is much inferior ... it does not underrate the song at all .

I have to admit that number 22 for GYLLENE TIDER is not so good. Hopefully, it will rise. But fantastic summer is above all the autumn charts.

Well, it looks like people decided to buy one (or even two) DVDs instead of the single - Karaoke Hits! made it to #9, Parkliv to #3 in their first week! Not too bad, don’t you think? ;-)

In the end ...”Solsken” is a good song or not? Does the rest matter that much for the song’s quality?

Guess, quite every Swede might have bought the album already. So where is the point in buying the same song twice? By the way, is there even promo for Solsken in Sweden? Let’s see what will happen the next days. I can’t imagine, that iit won’t rise.

I guess, it’s mostly dedicated fans who singles.
PS Wonder, how MARIE is doing in the charts.:)

I think that Solsken is a great song... but it’s getting colder so maybe the GT summer is over now... Rich
