When Johnny Deluxe was asked if they wanted to participate in the 2009 Dansk Melodi Grand Prix they had just released their third album. This album has now been re-released in an edition that includes the song Sindssyg which came third in this year’s Danish final.
Johnny Deluxe was given a wildcard to the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix as broadcaster DR wanted a final with some bigger names participating. As one of the most popular bands they were an obvious choice. The band first said no; Melodi Grand Prix was not for them. They changed their mind and the result was the song Sindssyg that ended on a tied 3rd place being losing to the winner Brinck in the first of two knock out rounds.
The band has released three album; "Johnny Deluxe" from 2004, "Luxus" from 2005 and "De knuste hjerters klub" (The club for the broken hearts) from last year. This latest album has now been re-released to also feature their Dansk Melodi Grand Prix entry. The album with 12 songs can be purchased worldwide via CDON.com.
Full Tracklist of De knuste hjerters klub:
1 Sindssyg (Insane)
2 Catwoman
3 Aldrig feat. Szhirley (Never)

Brinck who won the 2009 Dansk Melodi Grand has also re-released his 2008 album to include his winning song Believe Again and as a bonus to new songs. The reason Denmark now see these re-releases is that it is not common to release singles as more than just a download of a single song. This is very different compared to f.ex neighbour country Sweden where almost every participant in Melodifestivalen releases their entry on a single.
