Yet another alumni of Swedish Idol (the 2006 version), Danny has found massive success in Sweden both as a solo artist and also a member of EMD as well. In 2009, EMD competed in Melodifestivalen and won 3rd spot with Baby Goodbye, which just barely missed out on a spot in the Top 20 for this year. His other work with EMD has been so-so at best but as a solo artist, Danny has consistently released great singles.
It all began with Tokyo and Play It For The Girls from the 2007 album, Heart.Beats which reached #1 in Sweden. Although not finding the top of the charts (but reaching #2), his (late) 2008 release Set Your Body Free is easily one of the best albums of the year. All 12 songs are of top quality and it is the kind of album you can go back to at any time and love just as much as your first listen.
The singles released from the album did moderately well - with the first release, Radio, finding #1 while Need To Know and All On You were less successful, barely making the top 20 in Sweden. Danny also released Emely in Poland as a duet with a Polish singer reaching #2. In trying to keep this chart to singles released in 2009, despite not being my favourite of the whole album (I might have to give that title to Utopia), I've decided to include Need To Know at #12.
