What do you do when your album only reaches #10 in Sweden and the top-charting single from it only reaches #2? If you're Darin, you release another single that instantly reaches #1 on the charts just to remind everyone what a star you are! Darin released a cover of Coldplay's hit Viva La Vida last month in Sweden and did just that.
Along with Viva La Vida, Darin also came out with another track in 2009 that didn't appear on Flashback and which probably proves without any doubt that Darin really could be quite popular in North America. Pop That was worked on with David Jassy who is a Swedish producer who has moderate success with Ashley Tisdale and also wrote Heidi Montag's Body Language. The song hasn't officially been released anywhere but it's probably something Darin has in his back pocket if his UK debut does well this coming month.
On top of all this in 2009, Darin has been announced as one of the wildcards for Melodifestivalen 2010 which is Sweden's national selection competition to choose their representative at Eurovision 2010 in Oslo. Needless to say without any other of the 33 participants announced yet he is still a clear front-runner. Eurovision "what?" you may be asking - more info is sure to come if you keep posted.
Below find links to Darin's premiere of Viva La Vida on Swedish Idol 2009 and a clip of Pop That along with links to download. Enjoy!
