Written by Judith on October 15, 2004 to Marie Fredriksson.
STOCKHOLM - Marie Fredriksson’s single “2:nd Chance” enters the Swedish official single chart at #8 this week.
“2:nd Chance” is the first single off Marie’s new solo album in English, “The Change”, which will be released in Scandinavia on October 27th and in some additional European countries around a month later.
On a sidenote, Gyllene Tider’s “Solsken” climbs up two positions to the #20 in its second week on the list.

I´m sure it will climb higher, because it´s new on the list. I´m so happy! Marie rules!

thats great news for marie....hopefully that bodes well for the album.
I wonder how much of this is due to international fans ordering the single over the internet?

“Solsken is taken from a multiplatinum selling album.
Not too many people care about the demos.
I think Marie will outsell Gyllene Tider (even though her singles usually don’t sell that much)”
Looks like my prediction can be pretty accurate :)

I hardly believe that Marie will outsell GT. Not a chance. The reasons are many, but I think the major reason is that people in Sweden will not go bananas about Marie as they did for GT. I don’t think Marie could ever outsell more or less a whole tour either and that of course influences the sales figures as well.
I do, however, wish Marie the best and that it will become a succesful single AND album.

the alum is in english so for alot of swedes they’ll lose interest the only thing that will bost her sales will be the documentary and if the album gets picked up internationally, am I the only one who really wish this album came out when marie was well, say between cbb & Eu hits so she could promote and perform the songs, things would eb so different :(

That’s not bad considering the radios are not really playing it in Sweden! But the single got a lot of publicity in the newspapers and magazines so I guess that was enough to make people go out and buy it!

@ roxtexanet
Something tells me in my head that Tro DID make it into the top-10 in 96...Number 8 or something.
Anyway, it’s great 2nd Chance is in the top-10!
Strest said on October 15, 2004 12:30:
per mson: You must’ve misunderstood something ’cause the post was referring to the singles Solsken and 2nd chance and thus far it seems as Marie Fredriksson will win the competition.

Finally some news about MARIE in the charts. I think #8 is quite good and surprise for me. As I remember, ANTLIGEN made uo to #1.
Roxette-atic said on October 15, 2004 14:58:
Its fantastic. And by the way, “Tro” was also a Top 10 here in sweden...
Starrox said on October 15, 2004 15:07:
You’re talking about the album Äntligen, right? Just wondering since the single never made it past #34...
zeeshan said on October 15, 2004 15:54:
That’s a lot for a song like Second Chance. Duh. I don’t think it will climb any position. It is just not good enough :s
per_mson said on October 15, 2004 21:02:
@strest: Ohh, my appologies! I misunderstood you! :) But if this now have become some sort of a competition (don’t know why it should...), isn’t then a bit whacky to compare like this? If one should compare GT with Marie in the sense you mean, one should do it in fair matters, meaning you should compare the first single out on Marie’s album with the first single out from GT’s album...
But I don’t really care who is selling more of what as long as they both sell! ;-))

Great!!!
Well done Marie,now directly to the 1!!!!!!!!!!!
Hotblooded said on October 16, 2004 00:16:
Well done Marie!
Let’s hope the album will be a big success for her.

(2nd Chance or Solsken?)
n-Somnia said on October 16, 2004 04:06:
This hardly surprises me after seeing so many threads demanding the latest news about Marie the past few years. :) I can’t wait to hear the album.
roxtexanet said on October 16, 2004 04:10:
@animalkingdom & Rox-attic: You’re both absolutely right, “Tro” ENTERED at #37, but eventually climbed to #8. “2nd Chance” is beginning its run at #8, hopefully it will climb higer... anyway, my mistake and happy to be wrong (-:
By the way, old singles charts can be found at http://www.hitlistan.se
AURYTE said on October 16, 2004 10:20:
What does it mean those numbers in www.hitlistan.se. I mean, for instance, (35)/4/.
PS What does it mean “utgiven” in Swedish?
daniel_alv said on October 16, 2004 10:33:
AURYTE >>
utgiven means released
(NY)/1/ NY means that it’s new, if there is a number there it’s the last weeks position.. and the 1 is the number of weeks on the chart...
rox-kuryliw said on October 16, 2004 11:40:
tro is a wonderful song aswell :-), love the piano in it.
roxtexanet said on October 15, 2004 06:38:
FANTASTIC!!!!!!! When you consider that Marie hasn’t cracked the Top 10 since “Sparvoga” you just can’t be unhappy with this chart position. Congratulations, Marie!!!
