It became number 1?

edit

In Denmark 'Only Teardrops' got ranked number 1 on the danish iTunes tracklist, not number 2. But it only stayed at the place for a few days, 'cause a new single from another danish artist was released, and became the new hit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.106.144.130 (talk) 12:10, 23 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

I think the article reflects this? It says it topped the iTunes chart and debuted on the actual Danish charts at number 2. Which part is confusing to you or perhaps I didn't understand your concern? Maybe that part can be reworded to be more clear. Pickette (talk) 20:18, 23 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

This has been graffitied

edit

Someone has written "Who gives a banana about this semi-protected drivel?" at the start of the article...

For the record, I do!

Twice in the 21st century?

edit

The lead says that with Only Teardrops Denmark became the first country to win twice in the 21st century. In my knowledge, the 21st century began in 2001, so the previous Danish victory was still in the 20th century. The source cited there doesn't provide any information to back this claim as far as I can tell. Should we remove it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Not A Superhero (talkcontribs) 01:24, 21 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

In my opinion, I think it should be removed. It seems rather trivial and irrelevant to the topic of the song. It's probably enough to say that it participated and won the contest. Pickette (talk) 03:16, 21 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Original language

edit

Was the song originally written in English, or in Danish and then translated? It's always annoyed me that the title hook seems unrelated to the rest of the song, and I wondered whether some meaning had been lost in translation? --Walnuts go kapow (talk) 13:47, 11 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
