Europeans returned to work today and rushed to download their favorite Eurovision singles. Alexander Rybak’s Fairytale has now topped the iTunes charts in 12 European countries and broken the Top 10 in three others. Here’s a break down of all the Eurovision songs cracking the iTunes Top 10 in various European countries. See the complete list here. And by the way, Wiwi had three OMG moments compiling this.
(1) Doesn’t it totally freak you out to see Alexander Rybak’s Fairytale listed alongside Ciara’s Love Sex Magic? Worlds collide.
(2) Scandinavians download a lot of Eurovision songs. In Sweden, the top eight songs are from Eurovision. Love it.
(3) Why isn’t the U.K. showing fifth-place finisher Jade Ewen any love? Shameful.
