Aren't Sigur Ros and Of Monsters and Men more famous than Hatari?

KALEO and Björk would also be above Hatari I’d imagine.

I don't really know KALEO, but yeah. Added Björk in the next comment

Yeah, Mendes broke the popularity curse, so I guess skeletons will be flying out of closet come Amsterdam. 

Yeah, I'm gonna throw out some world class Lithuanian artists that would put boys like Shawn to shame.

 

Oh wait, we don't have artists popular outside of Lithuania

Oh Rihanna and Hatari, who could expect this? 

Hey, Iceland had a few more obvious choices than Hatari, if we're being honest.

KALEO was big on the alternative/moody scene midway through the last decade. I remember hearing a couple of their songs in films and commercials.

I had never heard of Hatari before their Eurovision participation

Meanwhile especially Sigur Ros has a major fan base in most of the world and Of Monsters and Men had 2 great selling albums in the early and mid 10s.

And of course I forgot Björk

It may be easier for Icelandic artists to break through in Denmark, but they do in fact have a pretty strong music scene.

I'm glad Iceland didn't choose Of Monsters and Men, because I would be biased as fuck. 

 

I bought a ticket to their concert before they even went up for sale with a purchase code that you had to contact the organisers to get 

 

Sadly, it got postponed from July 15th to 2021 July, so my watch starts anew.

They struck big with this one:

 

 

But after that plummeted down in the music scene.

You are right, but I wasn't surprised that someone selected them as their song and the band themeselves was controversial in ESC.

 

My knowledge about Icelandic (non-eurovision) music is limited only to Bjork
