Eurovision: chart update

In 2000, Nicki French's Eurovision single peaked at #34 in the UK.

A year later, Lindsay D's entry peaked at #32.

What we've always been lacking is a UK Eurovision entry that peaks at #33.

Step forward, Molly Smitten-Downes!

The Common Linnets (The Netherlands) have the only other Eurovision song in today's UK Top 100. 'Calm After The Storm' is a new entry at #95, with sales up to midnight. However, it was second in

the UK televote (behind Poland) and we've gone mad for it since last night! Right now (21:45 on Sunday), it is sitting at #4 in the iTunes listings, with Conchita Wurst (third in our televote) only at #19. It looks like the most successful Eurovision hit this year may not be the actual winner or the UK entry, and that hasn't happened since....?

(That gives me a week to research it or for someone to provide the answer.)

In the compilation albums chart, the Eurovision album climbs 20 places to #19, just short of its peak on release, three weeks ago. This is its third week in the top 40 out of four, as it dropped out in its second week.
