Hit of the Day: Sweden 1999
For today’s hit of the day we are going back to 1999 when Israel last hosted the contest. That year a Swedish singer Charlotte Nilsson wowed Europe with her song “Take me to Your Heaven”. She received full points from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Estonia, Malta, Norway, United Kingdom and ended the night on 163 points bringing Eurovision back to Sweden. This is one of my favourite winning songs of Eurovision. Its a proper Eurovision entry if you understand me!
Of course Charlotte did re-enter the contest in 2008 as Charlotte Perelli with Hero, who we featured as a hit of the day a few days ago.
