Hitz from Finland vol. 11

[credoimprobus]

Something a bit different this time because I'm too lazy to put together anything meatier at present: as a snapshot of Finnish pop Right Now, I give you Things Wot Have Been in the Official Download Chart* (re-entries excluded) in the Last Month. Consider it a Year in Pop clone! (Just without the poll, heh.)

Some of these I've previously posted/linked (inevitably), and anyone who watched eurovision will know the first one innit:

Teräsbetoni - Missä miehet ratsastaa
Waldo's People - Back Again
Cheek - Liekeissä
Chisu - Mun koti ei oo täällä
Mariko - Unstoppable
Kinetik Control - Lack of Divine Inspiration
Beats and Styles feat. Elastinen - You Got the Light
Lauri Tähkä ja Elonkerjuu - Pauhaava sydän
Ari Koivunen - Give Me a Reason
Jenni Vartiainen - Mustaa kahvia
Brother Firetribe - Heart Full of Fire
Voltage - Coffee Break
Stella - Korkokengät
Clifton Sextet - Nopeus kasvaa
Negative - Won't Let Go
Tiktak - Mutta mä rakastan sua
Jenni Vartiainen - Ihmisten edessä
Disco Ensemble - Bad Luck Charm
Herra Ylppö & Ihmiset - Sata vuotta
XL5 feat. Elastinen - Laatuaikaa

Discuss at will! (I leave any opinions of my own to the comments section because, again: lazy so's to leave perceptions uncoloured.)


*) the download chart because I find it more representative of what's really making noise than the proper singles chart

Things out of those I've at one point or another planned to post: Waldo's People (as part of a Fresh Finnish Eurobosh post -- and hurrah, the last track I was waiting for on that one has finally hit youtube!), Cheek, Mariko, Disco Ensemble (as part of a mini-primer)

Things out of those that have been in the chart ALL DAMN YEAR: Chisu, Mariko, Lauri Tähkä, Ms. Vartiainen's Ihmisten edessä (and in that last case in fact since last year, omg)

Things out of those that are the sound of top 90s artists having an comeback (there's a bit of an epidemic of that this year, really): Waldo's People, XL5
