He put out two more album in the 90s, but did not enjoy another charting song until âVÃ¥gornaâ, a track from his 2001 album I det osynliga that was eventually used in an advertising campaign for beer.

Their duet, âGod morgonâ, didnât make it to the finals, but did give him a number 18 hit, the biggest chart success of his solo career.
