Bausa's new music does resonate with the Norwegian streamers! “Magnetic” is the new number one in the daily Spotify charts with a huge lead and “Addicted to Your Love” is fourth. 📈🎶

Markella is the Greek-Norwegian singer who makes the best English-Greek music we know (ok, we only know about her, so...). Her latest piece of art: “Weight of Light”. 🎶 open.spotify.com/track/1dgBTu...

Bausa not only released “Magnetic” but also “Addicted to Your Love”. The three guys lately went viral with their new English music. So let's see how they will do! 🎶 open.spotify.com/track/2ofGiC...

Bausa is a German rapper who was born in Saarbrücken. His real name is Julian Otto... Oh wait, that's Bausa, the Norwegian band? Well: They released “Magnetic” and are on top of the New Music Friday Norway playlist on Spotify this week. 🎶 open.spotify.com/track/4hFDFm...

Not many people get nominated in the newcomer category and the category for international success during the same Spellemannprisen edition, so Oskar med K is definitely someone who stands out. His latest single: “Say No Prayer” with Izzy Bizu. 🎶 open.spotify.com/track/3k9EAH...

We hate songs with long titles because they are so much work to type... Well, whatever: B-Boy Myhre, who so far has two hip hop nominations at the Spellemannprisen, released the song “Gurl, er du hypp på å være nørd?” 🎶 open.spotify.com/track/1RF7pQ...

She dropped a song and had a hit! Delara went up from 2nd to 1st position in the official charts with her latest single “Sjelen”. It's her second number-one hit after “Siste dans” from late 2024. 🎶 open.spotify.com/track/6Azklj...

Yesterday, the running order for MGP on Saturday was released: 1. Skrellex 2. Hedda Mae 3. Storm 4. Mileo 5. Silke 6. Rybak 7. Emma 8. Leonardo 9. Jonas Lovv Are you excited? 🎶

Kygo released “Save My Love”, a collaboration with Khalid and Gryffin. Khalid is currently the 62th most streamed artist globally on Spotify. So this is kinda a testament to how big of a name Kygo is outside of Norway, too. 🎶 open.spotify.com/track/5ObyGD...

Yesterday, Ramón released “Theo”, the first single of his upcoming album Ramuelo. The album is set to be released on May 5th. It's already Saturday evening, so we can tell you that the song ended up at #8 in the daily Spotify charts. 🎶 open.spotify.com/track/6eD4nd...

sorry, our wages aren't high enough for five posts about one day...

Eleven years and one day ago, Susanne Sundfør released the very aptly titled album 'Ten Love Songs'. It contains nine songs about the terrors of World War II (jk). One of the biggest hits: 'Fade Away'. 🎶 open.spotify.com/track/0rb0aR...

Two years and one day ago (yeah, our Department of Looking at the Calendar had a day off), Metteson dropped his debut album "Look to a Star". Here at the headquarters, the album was very anticipated... 🎶 open.spotify.com/album/3adnlf...

Speaking of Kygo: Nine years and one day ago, he dropped the major global hit called "It Ain't Me". The collaboration between him and Selena Gomez currently stands at a meager 1.68 billion Spotify streams. 🎶 open.spotify.com/track/3eR23V...

OMG, she made it to the top of the daily Spotify top 50! Honestly: We were not expecting this, but we are happy! So many of her amazing songs never reached the official charts... 🎶

Norwegian!

Sometimes I just have to watch this Kygo parody because the song is actually quite good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsZw...

Our Department of Forcing CaroFraTyskland to Write Wikipedia Articles is by far our most successful one here at the MFN headquartes... 🥳

Bergen's most famous escapee (Kamelen) wants to be forever young: 'Ung for alltid'. 🎶 open.spotify.com/track/5LqAXe...

This Wednesday, Delara released 'Sjelen'. Kinda thinking we might get to see her in HVGM in 2027 or something... 🎶 open.spotify.com/track/6Azklj...

Yesterdays, the nominees for the Spellemann 2025 award were announced! You can take a look at the Spellemann website! spellemann.no/nominerte/

Our department for reading our calendar is back at work! Four years and one day ago, Ballinciaga and David Mokel dropped the monster hit that 'Dans på bordet' was. It ended up on top of the 2022 charts! 🎶 open.spotify.com/track/56kyGG...

Felicia is the most Norwegian entry in the Melodifestivalen since... well Marcus & Martinus. Her song 'My System' has several songwriters (one of them being Julie Bergan, who you surely know) and reached the Mello final tonight. 🎶 open.spotify.com/track/3AfX2E...

Back, when their name was still 'Søte og Rare Gutter', they dropped hits like 'Bærum Bitches (Mannschaft)' and 'Bender'. Yesterday, Søte & Rare dropped their lastest single, 'Heartless'. 🎶 open.spotify.com/track/3qgnWA...

'Sees igjen' by Bargee ended up being the seconds highest new entry in the Spotify charts. It ended up at position 9. That's somewhat of a surprise as his best position in the official Norwegian charts was 19th so far. 🎶 open.spotify.com/track/6vW1RE...

Marcus & Martinus made a new version of the Musti song 'ok rosa blomst' for HGVM. 🌺 open.spotify.com/track/6Ikx1j...

Yesterday, Vinni dropped a new EP: 'Monumenter'. Not sure if the cover works for people with trypophobia, but his music surely does! 🎶 open.spotify.com/album/1TYTd1...

Han Helge & Han Håkon are 2/5 of the band NorthKid. The duo collaborated with Staysman and created 'Hele natta', which is heavily influenced by Ritchie Valens' song 'La Bamba'. 🎶 open.spotify.com/track/6ErJLc...

Marit Larsen was the one who got to create a new version of Musti's breakthrough hit 'Gro Harlem Brundtland'. Oh, how happy all of them must be that Brundtland does not appear in the Epstein files! 🎶 open.spotify.com/track/4I1wa2...

Another HGVM song from André Jensen (Hagle). This time, we got a new version of a Musti song: 'Rett inn, rett ut'. 🎶 open.spotify.com/track/2pxMFJ...

Wordy is doing our work for us! How nice! So yeah, today is the Sámi National Day, which is celebrated all over Sápmi. Lihkku beivviin! ❤️💛💚💙

Sámi music because 3+2=5 open.spotify.com/track/7mBQxW...

Now, it is up at 35. If she continues like that, she will end up above her brothers. They are currently at position 22 with 'Den fyrste song'. 🎶

At position 17 in the daily Spotify charts of Norway, it ended up becoming the highest debut this week.

We think she reads out posts... 🤔

The Sámi artist Vegard dropped the song and EP 'Jegolaš'. You might be going like 'Who the hell is Vegard?' Well, his full name is Vegard Bjørsmo, he participated in Stjernekamp 2020 and is also an actor (starring in the TV series 'Oro Jaska' among other things). 🎶 open.spotify.com/track/6l6wi5...

Lille Caesar managed to get the first position in this week's New Music Friday Norway playlist on Spotify. His song: 'Sitter fast i siste gang'. 🎶 open.spotify.com/track/73c2t0...

Marcus & Martinus got some help from Isah, another former HGVM participant: 'Her vil e vær'. Even though they went for the same title as Synne Vo, it is definitely not just a cover. 🎶 open.spotify.com/track/1vrHCh...

Musti decided to give some new life to Synne Vo's 2022 song 'Lykke te' and created 'Lykke til pappa'. 🎶 open.spotify.com/track/2i8HqC...

Tomorrow, the Synne Vo episode of HGVM will air. And for that, Hagle dropped the song 'Naboen'. It is a new version of her hit 'MVH'. 🎶 open.spotify.com/track/43Fe7H...

Good chart results do not always lead to a good MGP result, but maybe it does this time? 'Northern Lights' stays the only MGP song in the daily Spotify charts. It rose up to position 51. 🎶 open.spotify.com/track/2qLYad...

Oh no, these Swedes! Zara Larsson reached the first position in the daily Spotify charts with 'Lush Life'. The song of course is not new, but it reached new heights because of ... well you probably guessed it: TikTok. Four HGVM songs in the top 10. 🎶

🇳🇴 The eight songs automatically qualified for Norway's Melodi Grand Prix 2026 final have been released. A ninth finalist, either Skrellex or Raylee, will be added later following the final radio duel.

🇳🇴 Skrellex has won the penultimate radio duel of Melodi Grand Prix 2026, with Gothminister ft. Thomas Jenssen eliminated from the competition. Sander Silva & Victorjus have withdrawn from the competition. Skrellex and Raylee will therefore battle for the wildcard on 26 January.

Today, the first of two semi finals of the MGP cup started: Skrellex vs. Gothminister & Thomas Jenssen. As usual, you can vote for your favourite if you have an NRK account. www.nrk.no/kultur/xl/no...

The duel was won by Raylee. That means that only four of the eight acts are still in contention. 🎉

Chart update: None of the MGP songs that are already out (MGP cup + anything from Rybak) have appeared on the Spotify top 200 so far. That means that so far, we have no early favourite or anything. 🎶
