Anita Hegerland

Anita Hegerland's achievements are remarkable for their scale and endurance. She became Norway's first artist to sell over a million records before age ten, a feat that set the stage for her career. In 1971, she was among the world's top-selling child artists, a distinction she shared with Michael Jackson. Her German hit "Schön ist es auf der Welt zu sein" remained the biggest by a Norwegian artist for decades. Hegerland also held the record for the longest-charting artist on Sweden's Svensktoppen for over twenty years. These records are a testament to her widespread appeal and the quality of her music.
