Global Music Royalty Nominees
We are looking for Global Music Royalty # 35 and you have nominated these 3 artists:
Julie Berthelsen
With 7 participations under her belt, Julie Berthelsen has only missed the top 10 once! Even more impressively, she is also a Global Music Champion and double Silver Medallist! She has even performed in three different languages: English, Danish and Greenlandic. What more do you want?
Mónica Naranjo
Spain is the country with most participations - currently 151 - without a win. They have come close though, finishing as runner-up 5 times. The first time was back in GM.05, when Mónica Naranjo was close to victory. Her performance still stands as the best Spanish result. Mónica has particpated a total of 6 times in GM, representing both Spain and Andorra, but she has never come close to her strong debut.
Michael Schulte
This German sensation did not step onto the GM-stage until GM136, but since then he has participated 6 times. In itself not that big of a deal, but taking into account that these participations have lead to 1 gold medal, 2 silver medals and a 4th place, his achievements become rather spectacular!
You decide who of these 3 artists will be named as our next Global Music Royalty!
Voting is done through the voting form for the final, so be sure to use the voting form here when voting. Only votes made this way will be counted!

"Polls & Revotes" on Hiatus
|
For your information, the new Facebook group has been put on hiatus for now. It was created to celebrate the history of Global Music and taking trips down memory lane to the earlier editions. Sadly, the problem with YouTube in Denmark persists. It is almost impossible for me to find any videos at all, making it impossible to keep the group running at the moment, as (re)listening to the songs is the fun part of going back in time. If someone else wants to pick up the torch and carry it on, send me a message and I'll be happy to let you run with it! Otherwise, for now the group will be inactive until further notice. Sorry for the inconvenience. |

REDESIGN OF THE COUNTRIES SECTION
|
A redesign of the section for The Countries has begun. The aim is to make the section including the country pages look better on mobile devices, so that text and pictures match. So far the African section has been changed into the new design. The changes are not huge and they are only visual, so the content stays the same with a little extra info on the countries themselves. I hope you like it and see the difference when using a mobile device. |

Global Music - Polls and Revotes
As mentioned in the last newsletter, we would have some revotes and stuff on Facebook to celebrate Global Music's birthday.
However, on a regular Facebook page, like the one Global Music has on the media, it is not possible to make a poll or vote with more than 2 different options for answers. I have thus had to create a group especially for making such revotes and polls, and it has been named "Global Music - Polls and Revotes". In order for you to take part in the voting and other new features which might be added along the way, you need to be a member of the group. I will invite those of you who am already connected with on Facebook and otherwise you can find the group here. I hope you will all take part in this extra fun feature! |

One of the most successful girl groups to come out of the Balkans, Feminnem has had their share of strong results in GM. They finished runner up in the very first edition and have also won a bronze medal plus finished in the top 10 on another two occations within their 8 participations. Though it's been 90 editions since we last saw them on the GM stage - mainly due to them going their separate ways - their legacy is still strong.
