This sounds very Eurovision

Last time I got recommended that a certain European track was going to be massive was with Gotye's Somebody That I Used To Know. A song that has since gone on to become the biggest selling single of the year in the UK selling over 1 million copies and in the US selling over 4 million copies. I personally think it's grossly overrated but obviously a lot of people seem to like it. So in a similar vein; this track was played to me several months ago and once again I thought nothing of it. Now that I've seen its chart success across Europe I'm beginning to reconsider my judgement. Not only is this song the biggest selling single in Germany since 2006 but it has topped charts in France, Italy, Austria, Spain, Sweden, Poland, Greece, Latin America, Belgium, etc. etc.
This track is in Portuguese and is incredibly catchy yet annoying. Just as we saw Sak Noel top the UK charts after its success across Europe I could very much see this doing exactly the same thing. This is exactly what this year's Eurovision Song Contest was missing - some shamelessly cheesy Euro-pop!
edit: oh and never fear - of course there is a Pitbull remix just ready and waiting for the UK release
