Three Days in a Row
"Three Days in a Row" is the first official single of Anouk's sixth album For [Bitter or Worse]. It was released in August 2009. The song was written by Anouk, Martin Gjerstad and Tore Johansson. The song reached the peak position in both the Dutch [Top 40] and the Mega Single Top 100. It also reached the number-one position in the 3FM Megatop 50 and stayed there for five weeks. In Flanders, the song reached the 19th position in the Ultratop 50.
Background
"Three Days in a Row" opens directly to the chorus of the song, in which Anouk sings she has loved someone for three days, after which she has never seen him again. Apparently, this person was not aware of Anouk's love for him. Anouk also sings she is sure their love will be continued.The number is considered differently from Anouk's previous work, more tending to blues music. One week after its release, the song was heard 22 million times on the Dutch radio: it reached the first position in the Dutch Airplay-chart. It is quite unusual that a Dutch act manages to reach the first place.
