While it seems just like yesterday, it has been seven years since we saw Sebalter take to the stage with his song, Hunter of Stars. At that point, Switzerland was in the midst of a Eurovision crisis. The nation had failed to qualify more often than not since the introduction of the semi-finals. Prior to…

Upon request, today’s Eurovision throwback takes us back to Eurovision 2015 where we saw Belgium achieve one of the best results in recent years. The representative was chosen through a national final, and as we know, it was Loïc Nottet who was selected. Unlike in previous years, the song was also chosen internally, and the…

We’re going back to 2016, a national final that has probably been their most controversial in recent years. Usually the unwritten rule applies where the song that wins is the song…

For today’s throwback, we are rewinding the clock back to 2014, a time where Belgium was truly hit or miss at Eurovision. Since 2005 and up until 2014, the nation only managed to qualify to the final twice which statistically isn’t great, so in 2014 it was up to Axel Hirsoux to follow on from…
