Running order for Melodi Grand Prix 2016
Last year, the artists and songs for Finland's "Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu 2015" were leaked on Spotify, and this year the same thing has accidentally happened to the Danish songs for Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2016.
The head of entertainment at Danmarks Radio (DR), Jan Lagermand Lundme, explains: »It went wrong because there was an employee at Sony, who accidentally wrote 2015 instead of 2016 in the album codes to Spotify.«
