Shalom Israel or should we rather say, Bom Dia Brasil? Eurovision 2018’s triumpher Netta Barzilai is still surfing the wave. It is well known that Eurovision songs and fame go well beyond any European border. But when fame reaches higher spheres of the music industry, magic happens, this is the case for Netta.

She went to Lisbon and brought the trophy home. She conquered the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest with astonishing 529 points and well above any other contestant. Netta Barzilai was the fourth Israeli to win Eurovision, and it will definitely not end there.

Gold like victory

As published these days by the Association Pro-Música Brasil, Netta’s single Toy has gone gold in the Brasilian market. This means that she sold at least 500’000 copies in the country. Congratulations! It is not the first time though that Netta reaches succes away from the European continent. In June last year her entire music video was displayed in Times Square in New York, and one month later she performed live on NCBS.
