Before Eurovision

Melodifestivalen 1982

Melodifestivalen 1982 was the selection for the 22nd song to represent Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest. It was the 21st time that this system of picking a song had been used. 90 songs were submitted to Sveriges Television (SVT) for the competition. The final was held in the Lisebergshallen in Gothenburg on 27 February 1982, presented by Fredrik Belfrage and was broadcast on TV1 but was not broadcast on radio.

The 10 songs were reduced to 5 finalists, which were then voted on by 9 juries split according to age ranges. Chips formed by Elisabeth Andreasson and Kikki Danielsson had both previously come 2nd in the Melodifestivalen 1981 in a group called 'Sweet 'n' Chips'. Kikki Danielsson had previously came joint 1st in the Melodifestivalen 1978 but lost out on a tie-break and previously came 4th in the group Chips in 1980.
