Andreas Johnson – "Glorious"

"Glorious" is a song by Swedish singer-songwriter Andreas Johnson, released as a single in April 1999 on the WEA label. It is from Johnson's second album, Liebling (1999). In early 2000, the song peaked within the top 10 of the charts in Italy and the United Kingdom.

"Glorious" was used as the main theme for Sky Sports Premier League shows Ford Super Sunday and Ford Football Special from August 2000 to May 2001. The song was later used on television advertisements for Vauxhall, Volvo, and in 2004, for Nutella,[1] thus allowing the song to re-enter the French Singles Chart at a peak of number 16.
