"Stor mand" (lit. 'Big Man') is a song by the Danish singer Tobias Rahim featuring Andreas Odbjerg from Rahim's second studio album, Når sjælen kaster op. The song was written by Rahim and Odbjerg, as well as Arto Eriksen. Eriksen, alongside Fridolin Nordsø, produced the song. Since its release, the song has spent 15 weeks at number one on the Danish Hitlisten charts and has been certified platinum nine times.
Upon its release, "Stor mand" received generally favourable reviews from music critics and was soon seen as one of 2021's biggest hits in Denmark.[1] Rahim's manager was certain the song would achieve double-platinum certification.[2] Despite the song's performance and praise, it did not reach number one on the Hitlisten charts until October,[3] a position it held for a total of 15 weeks.[4]
Rahim and Odbjerg performed "Stor mand" at the 2021 Danish Music Awards, and later again at Rahim's scheduled performance at the 2022 Roskilde Festival.[5][6]
At the end of 2021, "Stor mand" finished at number eight on the Hitlisten charts.[7] The following year, it rose to become the number one song for 2022.[8] The song finished 2022 as the number one most-streamed song on Spotify within Denmark.[9] As of December 2025, the song has been certified platinum nine times with more than 81 million streams.[10][11]
