Hver gang vi møtes (meaning Every Time We Meet in Norwegian) is a Norwegian reality television show broadcast on the Norwegian TV 2 television station in 2012. It is structured in similar format to the Swedish series Så mycket bättre that had been launched in 2010.

Season 1 (2012)

The first series included 7 artists that would sing each other's song, with each of the first 7 episodes dedicated to songs by one of the participants. In an 8-episode series, in the first seven episodes, the participants would sing songs pertaining to one specific participant. The 8th, final, episode would be a wrap-up with duos by participants. The music would be released in an album. Every time we meet at the record label EMI after the suite is fully shown. The title of the series comes from a line in Halvdan Sivertsen song "Venner" (meaning friends).

The most successful interpretation in the series was Vinni singing "Sommerfuggel i vinterland" a famous song by Halvdan Sivertsen after 25 years of the original. The song topped the VG lista, the official Norwegian Singles Chart[1] for 5 consecutive weeks. Vinni's other interpretation, "God morgen Norge" a song from Øystein Dolmen also topped the Singles Chart for another 2 weeks immediately after Sommerfuggel i vinterland, a 7-week run on top of the charts for Vinni.

The album Hver gang vi møtes containing materials from the program topped the Norwegian Albums Chart for 2 weeks in March 2012.

The program won two awards during Gullruten 2012 for "Best Entertainment Show" and "best New Show". The program has been renewed for a new second season in 2013.
