The vast majority of Eurovision songs don't make it into the UK Top 40. The ones that do tend to either be the winning songs or the UK entries. However this Eurovision entry was neither, it was from Sweden and finished 3rd.
The winner that year was "Rise Like A Phoenix" by Conchita Wurst and the UK entry was "Children of the Universe" by Molly and both made the Top 40, as didn't 2nd placed "Calm After The Storm" by Common Linnets. This meant that 4 Eurovision entries made the Top 40 that year, the only time that had happened previously was in 1974.
Although this was the only UK Top 40 hit for Sanna Nielsen, she'd already got quite a lengthy discography by this point. She was about to release her 8th album which is her final album to date. It was also the 7th time she'd attempted to represent Sweden at Eurovision.
