Since people are polling the UK and USA charts, I thought it'd be fun to poll a random Finnish singles chart too.

I'll post Youtube links to the Finnish songs on the list, since none of you have probably heard them:

I didn't realise that Sin With Sebastian single had taken off anywhere. It was much-hyped here for about five minutes, only to disappear without trace. I wound up with two copies for some reason.

(voted 'Roll WIth It')

I actually own the Sin with Sebastian album, a friend of mine sold it to me back in the 90s for 10 Finnish Marks (which was the same as roughly one British Pound). That was a pretty good deal! The album has one of my favourite rhyme couplets ever:

See the birds and bees
They do it in the trees

Also, all the female vocals on that album are actually sung by men, except for the duet between SwS and Marianne Rosenberg, who is a German disco singer and a big gay icon over there.

I assume it's the Rollo & Sister Bliss remix of 'I Feel Love' - not much cop iirc

toss up between 'Shy Guy' and 'Isobel'

Pandora was a Swedish singer who was also quite big in Finland, but I don't think she had much success outside the Nordic countries?

Unfortunately the list doesn't state which remix of "I Feel Love" made it, but I assume it's the one you mention.

I can't find "Pelkkää kuvitelmaa" by Aki Sirkesalo on Youtube, but he was a Finnish soul singer who these days is probably best known for having died in the 2004 tsunami in Thailand. This was the biggest single from the same 1995 album:
