Seeing an artist to return to the Eurovision stage is not a new concept. In fact, by the second ever Eurovision Song Contest in 1957, there were already two returning artists, Corry Brokken for The Netherlands, and previous winner Lys Assia for Switzerland.

For many of the more modern years of Eurovision, we’ve seen a huge collection of predominately pop songs, whether in the format of upbeat tunes or ballads. Occasionally we see something that breaks the mould, something that stands out whether that’s for the right or wrong reasons is a different story! We’ve seen pop at…

With the 2018 National Final season upon us, we thought we’d wrap up our Top 5 National Final Songs of 2017 series with the third and final instalment. Usually, we’d fit our Top 5 songs in one post, but we discovered so many gems through the 2017 national final season hence the three part series.…

For a number of weeks now, we’ve been going back through the years to rediscover the forgotten, the songs that may have been close (or may not have been close!) to reaching the final, but fell at the last hurdle. Today we’re going back to 2007, and this year is different to the previous posts…

Over the last couple of months (yes, it’s been that long!) we’ve been going back through the years to rediscover the forgotten songs of Eurovision.
