List leaked

As the list was initially leaked, and not published by RÚV themselves, escXtra intended to wait until after tonight’s reveal to publish it. But seeing as the list has been published by several other sites, there was no point in trying to keep it secret until after the tv show. Sources at RÚV say that they are looking into how this leak happened, mainly to make sure it won’t happen again. They also said that, as many other sites had already published it, they didn’t really mind if we did it too.
Apparently, the songs were even available for download on TIDAL for a very short while, but they were taken down only moments after they were posted. Rumour has it though, that some people managed to get hold of them, and that they are making the rounds on various forums out there.
We will be back shortly with more information on the artists and songwriters.
