Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on October 27, 1981)

Happy Birthday, Salem Al Fakir! Hope you're celebrating with more flair than the outfit you rocked during Melodifestivalen 2010. Finishing second never looked (or sounded) so good—your sleek tunes from albums like "This Is Who I Am," "Astronaut," and my personal favorite rebellious title ever: "Ignore This." Clearly impossible to ignore!

Wishing Sweden's coolest pop astronaut a cosmic year ahead. May your melodies remain timeless and your hair forever fabulous. Here's hoping life's stage gives you top spot today... but then again, nobody writes glorious anthems about being first anyway! Cheers to another spin around the musical galaxy, friend!
