The dust has barely settled on last weekend’s thrilling Eurovision Song Contest in Basel, but for the UK’s own Remember Monday, the party is far from over. The trio, comprised of Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull, and Charlotte Steele, are celebrating a remarkable surge on the Official Singles Chart, with their track "What The Hell Just Happened?" making a stunning debut in the Top 40 at Number 31.
Despite finishing 19th in the Grand Final, the power of Eurovision has clearly resonated with the British public. Official Charts Company data reveals a staggering 307% week-on-week increase in activity for "What The Hell Just Happened?", propelling it to a brand-new peak. The song had previously hovered at Number 95 upon its initial release in March, making this Top 40 breakthrough a significant achievement for the band.
Ecstatic at the news, Remember Monday shared their disbelief and gratitude with Official Charts: "Oh my gosh! What The Hell Just Happened?! What The Hell Just Happened? just made it into the Top 40 of the Official Singles Chart. Honestly, we cannot believe it. Thank you, so, so much to everyone who’s downloaded the song, played the song, listened to the song."
The trio continued, expressing their sheer joy: "We feel so grateful, and shocked. We truly can’t believe it, this is an absolute dream come true! We can’t wait to start playing it live on tour later in the year. Let’s go!" Their infectious energy and powerful vocals, which secured all 88 of the UK's jury points at Eurovision, are now clearly captivating a wider audience.
Fans eager to experience "What The Hell Just Happened?" live will have their chance later this year. Remember Monday is set to embark on their aptly named "What The Hell Just Happened? Tour" kicking off in October. This chart success proves that for Remember Monday, Eurovision was far from the end; it was just the beginning of a new chapter in their musical journey.
