Since then their pace has slowed down, but they have still managed another 6 victories, before this one. Apart from Sanna Nielsen and Agnes Carlsson who have both won twice, the Swedish champions are: One More Time, Jessica Folcker, Basshunter, Carola, Lena Philipsson, Danny, Sibel, Elena Paparizou, Måns Zelmerlöw, Smith & Thell, Klara Hammarström and now Dotter.
