The Olsen Brothers won the Eurovision Song Contest for Denmark in 2000 with 195 points. Their song, ‘Fly On The Wings of Love’, (which received the maximum points from a third of the competing countries), gave Denmark their second Eurovision win (after Grethe and Jørgen Ingmann won with ‘Dansevise’ in London in 1963). The song sold 100,000 copies in one day alone in Denmark.
We love Eurovision and we hope it can make Europe a better place to live in for all of us.Jørgen Olsen
Since their Eurovision victory, The Olsen Brothers have supported bands as big as The Kinks and have released an impressive twelve albums.
