Keep far from an ordinary run of the mill song release this song from a Nordic band has been used in popular American television shows. Seems to be very notable.

I don't find it curious at all. It's a hit song. Their edit history shows they were reading about the band where this is noted in the lede as one of the group's two biggest hits. Recognizing and appreciating the song as many do they made an article on it. Obviously they're not a first time editor but assume good faith. Apple and the popular U.S. television show Workaholics used the song so it even has an international following.

Here's one of the many sources discussing the song very subatantially. The Prime Minister and other officials rocked out to it as is noted in the article and seen in the video. At worst this would be a merge, bit why so why so many editors want to violate Wikipedia's cornerstones such as
WP:Before and
wp:preserve is disheartening. We have a real problem with
wp:bias and trying to delete sibjects like this instead of improving them is why.

How would you know that another account "were reading about the band" etc? Either that's
hearsay or you should explain how you know that account. None of the above addresses it a) failing NMUSIC (that source is
WP:PRIMARYNEWS), or b) account activity. Widefox;

How is coverage of the band performing this song at a concert with the Prime Minister and 400 children performing it done by
NRK News primary? You also say it is suspicious that a new account would create an entry on a hit song. Why is it suspicious? People are interested in hit songs, like to know about them, and are willing to write about them.

The link explains..."Reports on events" is an example. It's primary for the event which is about the song (live), arguably primary/secondary for the song. (NRK News is a distraction: independent and primary/secondary aren't to be conflated.) NMUSIC has the bar set at a national chart, there's nothing about that so it fails that doesn't it. Widefox;

Comment It's tough when you don't understand the language. This
[1] looks like significant coverage of Datarock, some of Fa-Fa-Fa. I think we've got to watch for language
bias on this one.

WP:NMUSIC. A non-charting single that lacks significant coverage in independent reliable sources. The link above is about the album, with a passing mention of the song (the album itself should be probably redirected to the band itself as not independently notable). This is insufficient for a stand-alone article.
