Tonight sees the next UK Eurovision Schlager Party take place in London's Enclave bar. The event is the first since Norway's Eurovision Song Contest victory and looks set for an extra celebration. Agnes, who sang Love love love in Melodifestivalen earlier this year is set to be named the United Kingdom's number one entry on the charts this weekend with Release me.

Agnes is a former Idols winner in Sweden and reached the Melodifestivalen final earlier this year with Love love love. Her former hit single Release me, which charted across Scandinavia in 2008 has this week been released in the United Kingdom and has rocketed up the charts. It now looks set to be named the United Kingdom's biggest selling song of the week when the latest charts are announced on Sunday.

Alexander Rybak, who won the Eurovision Song Contest in Moscow earlier this month is still in the charts, and Starpilots, who reached the Melodifestivalen second chance round are still in the top 40 with higher.
