Heyah Mama (Eurosong 1999) and El Mundo Bailando (Eurosong 2006), two songs which failed to win the Belgian Eurovision Song Contest selections but nevertheless became huge hits in Flanders and the Netherlands, are about to hit the charts in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Last week, Studio 100 released Wir 3, a German copy of the successful Flemish girl band K3, on the German market. Just like K3, Wir 3 is composed of three girls with blonde, black and red hair respectively. The first singlefrom Wir 3 is Heyah Mama, the Eurosong 1999 entry by K3. Back in 1999, the girls were slaughtered by the professional jury, but nevertheless the song saw for the breakthrough of K3 in Belgium and the Netherlands.
