In 2021, Pandora participated with Finnish rap trio Teflon Brothers in that year's Finnish equivalent of Melodifestivalen and their entry ‘I Love You’ reached second place.

With more than 13 top 20 hits in Sweden, Da Buzz was one of Sweden's most played artists in the early 2000s. Songs like ‘Alive’, ‘Do You Want Me’ and ‘Dangerous’ are still played frequently on national radio. The group also had great international success and was high on the Billboard charts with the single ‘Let Me Love You’ in 2021. Da Buzz celebrated its 25th anniversary last year with a brand new album, new singles and tours - so count on sing-alongs from these Swedish legends!

In the 1999 Melodifestivalen, Drömhus participated with the song ‘Stjärna på himmelen’ and came in second place.
