Best of the Bunch: Russia

They’re one of the most successful nations to participate in Eurovision, with a total of nine Top 5 results since their debut in 1994. Many of those Top 5 places happened during the years 2006 to 2015, which is the range of years we will be discussing in today’s Best of the Bunch! We’re going…

We put our hand in the figurative hat today to pick a song to focus in on, and we thought we’d pick a song that might be less memorable – just for nostalgia’s sake. Well, perhaps this song is memorable, but likely for the wrong reasons. Today we’re going back to 2010 to discuss the…

Best of the Bunch: Bulgaria

Bulgaria first made their debut back in 2005, and since then, it’s fairly safe to say that the nation hasn’t had the best of luck throughout their Eurovision journey. The nation has participated 11 times, and reached the final 3 times, and to be fair to Bulgaria, those three times gave the nation Top 5…

Best of the Bunch: Ukraine

Ukraine first made their debut at Eurovision in 2003, and since their first appearance, they’ve won the contest an incredible two times, and quite consistently finished in the Top 10, if not the Top 5. They’ve missed one contest since their debut, which was 2015, which as part of our Best of the Bunch series…

Best of the Bunch: Romania

Romania first debuted at Eurovision in 1994, and incredibly, the nation has managed to appear in every single final for each year they have participated in since their debut. The nation hasn’t participated every year since their debut however, missing out on 1995, 1997, 1999, 2001 and most recently in 2016, where the nation was…

Top 5 Non-Qualifiers of 2010!

Over the weeks, we’ve been discussing the songs that didn’t quite make it to the Eurovision final. They’re often the forgotten songs, but we want to put the spotlight back on the performances to show that just because they’re lost to the semi-final, doesn’t mean they aren’t cracking songs! Today we’re travelling back to 2010…

Best of the Bunch: Iceland

Iceland has now participated in Eurovision 30 times, with their debut year 1986. Since their participation, the northern nation has missed only two contests and they’ve come 2nd twice (one of which we’ll be discussing today). Today we’ll be beginning our Best of the Bunch journey in 2006 and continuing on until 2015 (to keep…

Best of the Bunch: Denmark

Denmark was the first Nordic nation to enter Eurovision, the year after the contest debut. They intended to join the contest in 1956, although their application missed the deadline, and as such, entered the following year. Denmark first won the country in 1963 with the song Dansevise, and since then, have had their highs and…

Best of the Bunch: Slovenia

Slovenia began their independent Eurovision journey in 1993, and their first decade of participation was actually quite successful. They received a number of top 10 results, however as soon as 2004 hit, their results became more hit and miss. Today we’re starting our Best of the Bunch journey in 2006, and continuing through to 2015,…
