Welcome to Jörgen Elofsson
By turning more than 3,510,000 copies since its January 17 release, ”Stronger” already has surpassed Carrie Underwood’s previous record (3,509,000 copies), set in 2006.
The song is written by Jörgen together with Ali Tamposi, David Gamson and Greg Kurstin.
”When I got the notification letter from the Royal Court saying I was to receive a medal from H.M. The King, I first couldn’t believe it. Needless to say, I am very, very proud!”
The ceremony was held at the Royal Palace in Stockholm.
”Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)” is written by Jörgen, David Gamson, Greg Kurstin and Ali Tamposi, the first songwriter signed to Jörgen’s music publishing company Perfect Storm Music Group, founded in the fall of 2010.
On the evening of September 4, 2002, Kelly Clarkson became the first American Idol. The winning-song, ”A Moment Like This”, written by Jörgen and John Reid, was released two weeks later. Rapidly climbing the charts, on October 5 Clarkson found herself at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 list, breaking The Beatles’ 38-year old record for the biggest leap to pole position, from 52-1.
