An amazing list, Håkan, What an impressive number of no 1 hits! Now it's just 4 days to the Stockholm show and 6 days to Oslo!

Sorry for changing the subject slightly, but talking about The Hollies' international hits - this might be a silly question? but why did they record tracks in French (listening to my Clarke, Hicks & Nash years CDs last night). Were they popular in France? Or did they record them to become popular over there? I never hear that country mentioned for tours etc. It might have been nicer, considering all the hits they had there, to do some tracks in Swedish???!

You're right, Dawn, but here in Scandinavia we were so into English lyrics, we thought that almost any English text sounded better than a text in our own language. So there was no point.

That`s would have been great if they had done some songs in swedish.

Bus stop would be something like,Buss Stop,regnig dag,hon är där,snälla
dela mitt paraply,Buss stop,bussen for hon stannar ,kärleken växer under
mitt paraply. or the air that I breathe,allt jag behöver är luften jag andas
ock att andas,jennife eccles would be.Jag älskar jennifer Eccles ock jag
vet att hon älskar mig.Maybe they can do a record in swedish now if
somebody translated in swedish.they did songs in italian and french so why not.

An english group called The DeeJays who had a couple of hits in sweden
did a song in swedish called Jag vill inte ha nå`n annan än dej.I don`t want
anyone else than you.
And the american singer,Larry Finnegan who had hits with Dear one,Pretty Suzy
Sunshine,lived in sweden for a couple of years did some songs in swedish
one of them was a big hit called Maria min vän(Maria my friend) was number
one on Svensktoppen.
Looking forward for an album with swedish songs from The Hollies.

AND THE GIG IN OSLO WAS FANTASTIC.THANK YOU THE HOLLIES.

Thank`s have a great evening everyone.HÅKAN.
