There’s no stoping of posting new videos of Alexander Rybak on YouTube (here’s local search page) after he won playing violin on Eurovision 2009 pop songs contest.

And that means exposure. Exposure brings visitors and fans. And fans bring … yes, sales of artist’s records. Well there’s a question of Mr. Rybak himself – I kind of get a feeling that he has simply taken advantage of his situation (coming abroad to Norway and perusing commercial opportunites by adapting his music to Norwegian taste).

Anyway, strong lesson how to play a violin, please everyone and probably enjoy popularity he – I must say – deserves as public has voted so.
