They hope to make it even bigger with this second album, or at least maintain their status. The start hasn't been very good even in Finland. The album Pretend or surrender debuted at no 13 and has been moving down since. The first single Take a shot made it n...

There are Eurovision news in all three main charts! Teräsbetoni 's winning Missä miehet ratsastaa enters the charts at no 2. Last year's favourite Lovex is back with a new single Take a shot and enters the charts at no 5. Movetron and Cristal Snow are still in the charts with their previous singles: Ei kenenkään maa at no 18 and Scarred at no 19. In the albums the big surprise is Vuokko Hovatta . She enters the Top-40 at no 4. In the compilations charts Eurovision 2008 enters at no 3.
