This year the Olsen Brothers are celebrating an impressive 40th jubilee. Due to this special event, they will release a new album, which will be their 21st one, called Celebration on 17th October. It will feature their most popular songs.

Among the tracks, you will find Fly on the wings of love, their Eurovision Song Contest winning song from 2000 in Stockholm. There will also be the song Walk right back, which they sang at the beginning of the 2001 Eurovision Song Contest in Copenhagen.

Released in 1972 and with all songs in English, Olsen was their first album to sell more than 100,000 copies in Denmark. Since then, they became stars in the Danish music scene. 'Brødrene Olsen' also had several international hits, among others they sold about 2 Million records in Germany in the eighties with most of the songs sung in German. With their 2000 winning song, they entered the charts all over Europe.

Fly on the wings of love is among the 14 Eurovision Song Contest songs competing for the best entry ever in the anniversary show on October 22nd. Jørgen and Niels 'Noller' Olsen already confirmed that they will attend Congratulations, which will take place in their home country Denmark, in Copenhagen.
