About me
Im just your very average Eurovision fan - no hang on theres nothing average about me at all lol
Read full biographyEuro Songs Make the Irish Charts
Posted 6/Jun 2010 at 12:54 by Brendan Bonner.
Lena has made it to number 2 in the Irish Charts, followed by Niamh Kavanagh at number 8, also charting are
Tom Dice at number 20 and Madcon from the interval act with Glow at number 12.
Im expecting Madcon to chart in a number of counteries, it certainly was the best interval act since Riverdance and should do well throughout Europe
