Johnny Logan conquers once again Scandinavia - EuroVisionary - Eurovision news worth reading Eurovision news worth reading Charlotte Jensen / 13th October 2008 at 19:15 / Eurovision Song Contest , Releases / Denmark , Norway , Sweden With his latest album “Irishman in America” Johnny Logan is back on the Scandinavian charts, which he more or less owned with the previous CD. With a calendar that doesn’t leave space for much else than touring in Denmark, Sweden and Norway this Irishman has really conquered Scandinavia. Johnny Logan has won the Eurovision Song Contest twice as a singer and once more as a songwriter for Linda Martin, but it seems like the 54-year-old singer is now more popular than ever, 28 years after his first Eurovision victory and 16 years after the latest! His previous album, The Irish Connection, was meant as a present to his Danish fans but became a bestseller in all three Scandinavian countries with gold in Sweden, platinum in Denmark and double platinum in Norway. It is too soon to predict if Irishman in America reaches that status, but he has now entered the charts in all three countries.

When the album was released three weeks ago it immediately went into the Danish album top40. The album was #10 last week, but has dropped to this week’s #19. In both Sweden and Norway the album has this week reached their album charts being #33 on the top40 in Norway and #37 on the top60 in Sweden. The first position in Sweden and Norway is currently taken by Metallica’s latest album Death Magnetic, while the MGP compilation album holds that spot in Denmark. MGP is the Danish final for the Nordic MGP, the format on which the Junior Eurovision Song Contest is based.

History news Johnny Logan (singer) | Ultimate Pop Culture Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Ultimate Pop Culture Wiki Share Johnny Logan (born 13 May 1954) is an Australian-born Irish singer and composer. He is best known as the only performer to have won the Eurovision Song Contest twice, in 1980 and 1987 . He also composed the winning song in 1992 . [1 ] [2 ] Logan first won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1980, with the song " What's Another Year " written by Shay Healy . In 1984 , Logan composed the song " Terminal 3 " which placed second at Eurovision, performed by Linda Martin . [3 ] He won the contest for a second time in 1987 with " Hold Me Now ", which he also wrote. His third win came in 1992, as composer of Linda Martin's winning entry " Why Me? ". Contents Edit Johnny Logan was born Seán Patrick Michael Sherrard in Frankston, Victoria .

Logan's father was an Irish tenor , known as Patrick O'Hagan, who performed for three different US presidents at the White House : John F. Kennedy , Lyndon B. Johnson , and Richard Nixon . The family moved back to Ireland when Logan was three years old. He learned the guitar and began composing his own songs by the age of thirteen.

[4 ] He adopted the stage name Johnny Logan for the main character of the film Johnny Guitar . He released his first single in 1978.

[7 ] Representing Ireland in the Netherlands, Logan won the Eurovision Song Contest on 19 April. [8 ] The song became a hit all over Europe and reached number one in the UK. [9 ] Owing to a mix-up, two follow-up singles were released almost simultaneously; "Save Me" and "In London". With confusion by radio stations over which to play, both singles flopped.

[11 ] [12 ] Keen to continue this success, Logan released a cover of the 10cc song " I'm Not in Love ", produced by Paul Hardcastle as a follow-up, and an album.

Both single and album made the UK charts but were not significant enough to sustain a continued chart career.
