About Niclas Wahlgren
- Melodifestivalen 2006 was the selection for the 46th song to represent Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest.
- It was the 45th time that this system of picking a song had been used.
- Five semifinals had taken place to select the ten songs for the final, in Leksand, Karlstad, Karlskrona, Gothenburg and a Second Chance round in Stockholm.
- The final was broadcast on SVT1 and Sveriges Radio's P4 network.
- Carola Häggkvist was the clear favourite to win the final, with bookmakers making her the favourite and an Aftonbladet web poll showing her to have a clear margin over the other participants.
- The rehearsals sold out for the fourth year running; however, Carola was unable to perform in the final rehearsal due to throat problems.
- This led to speculation that the final would be closer than expected.
- Aftonbladet claimed in April 2006 that the televote may have been tampered with, as various sources reported unexplained voting (predominantly for Carola) on their telephone bills.
- It is clear that this would not have affected the result.
- Various finalists and semifinalists entered the Swedish Hitlistan chart after the competition.
- The second placed song, "Temple of Love", finished fourth in the Eurovision Madrid National Finals Song Contest.
