500 dagar om året (500 days a year) is the 20th studio album by studio album by Swedish singer/songwriter Tomas Ledin, released in June 2009.[1]

Album Information

The album produced by Lasse Andersson, was recorded during the winter of 2008/2009 in Sweden. As usual, all songs were composed by Tomas Ledin himself, with some help by Lasse Andersson on the track "Håll ut". This song was eventually released as the first single from the album, peaking at number 42 on the Swedish Singles Chart in February 2009. The title track itself was also released on single before the actual album and became the album's biggest hit. Next to peaking at number 16 on the official sales chart, it also became Tomas' first top5 hit on the important Swedish radio chart Svensktoppen since 1993.[2]

The album itself was a huge success. Upon its release in June 2009, it entered the Swedish albums chart at number two and stayed in the top10 for eleven weeks. "500 dagar om året" was certified Platinum a month after its release, in early July.[3]

In 2010, another track from the album managed to enter the Svensktoppen charts. In April, the album's closing number, "Kanske kvällens sista dans", peaked at number 10.[4]
