Bryan tops 2 summer charts in Denmark this year
Every summer many radio stations, magazines and so on ask their audience to pick the best summer song of all times and often times Bryan and "Summer of 69" place high. This year, however, Bryan has managed climbing to the top of at least two summer song polls in Denmark.
First, he placed number 1 at Radio Alfa's All Time Summer Top 100 and put artists as ABBA, Don Henley, Venga Boys, Madona and so on behind. A couple of weeks later Summer of 69 won the poll at the newspaper site BT.dk beating 19 other of the most popular summer songs of all times. Bryan received 4572 votes where as Beatles who came in second with Here Comes The Sun received just 3192 votes.
Congratulations to Bryan for making #1 - again!
