It’s New Year’s Eve (or New Year’s Day for our friends down under), which means we’re all in the midst of popping corks and renditions of “Auld Lang Syne”. But it’s also time for ESC Radio and Songfestival.be to reveal this year’s ESC 250.

The poll, where Eurovision fans pick their favourite 250 entries from the contest’s history, is entering its 10th year.

And there was one question on everyone’s mind — would anyone be able to knock Loreen’s “Euphoria” off the no.1 spot? It’s a position she’s held for six years. That’s also known as ‘every single year since she won Eurovision.’ And tonight the record continued, as she won it all again. Lucky number seven!

This year’s Eurovision winner Netta finished down in 23rd position, behind her 2018 contemporary Eleni, who finished second.

Salvador Sobral, Jamala and Blanche — who also made up last year’s top 5 alongside Il Volo — returned to the Top 5 this year. Il Volo came sixth.

I have a confession – I don’t like Euphoria that much. I don’t hate it, it’s not a bad song and I can see why other people like it. I’m just not one of them.

The song itself is a well crafted pop song, but you just lose interest quickly after hearing it a huge amount of time (everything has its limit). It’s one of the Swedish bops whatsoever, which drive some eurofans crazy .

I think “Toy” was never really that liked in the Eurovision fandom. It was definitely the casual viewers who brought it the victory and the views, and therefore the results of this chart.

It was always a fan favourite. But the question is…who would have it as one of the best ESC songs? Not many people, I guess…or not enough to put it in the Top 20. I expect Fuego to have a big fall next year too.

I agree, because it is possibilly the most consensual winner. It pleases the ones who like dance music and a bop and it pleases the ones who like quality.

Huge congratulations to Eleni Foureira. Coming second after Loreen, especially in the same year the song was released, is a big success.
Btw congrats to Jamala and Salvador as well. Good that there are people who still appreciate these masterpieces.

I’m interested in seeing the full results when they come out. Want to see which songs just missed and which got at least one point.

To my knowledge, the highest-ranked song from last year that didn’t make the top 250 at all was Nuku pomiin.

So Jamala 4th, rough chops has finished 3rd so that leaves Fuego and Euphoria to battle it out for Number 1.

Oh crap, no! Netta did! That’s crazy. I knew it was a polarizing winner, but I didn’t think she’d miss the top twenty entirely. Cyprus have this in the bag.
(I personally prefer Netta, but y’know, whatever)

Look at that finish for A Monster Like Me! Well done. Could Nocturne possibly crack the top 20?

Italy up. I’m pretty sure this means all we have left are the showdown: Israel and Cyprus.

Unless the trolls swoop in and San Marino beats them both.

As I expected, just like last year, we have now the ultimate troll: Color of Your Life, with 73 12pts ^^

Rather have them vote for a generally ok song, than a horrible one, like Macedonia 2000

Will Toy be number one?

It has a decent chance, maybe Euphoria fatigue has finally started to seep in.

I’d love anything but euphoria but it’s not going to happen.

I’ve got a feeling Fuego’s going to be higher than Toy

Hungary’s just amazed me throughout the year. Who would’ve thought, this time last year, that Eurofans would love a heavy metal song so much? Congrats AWS, you finished very high.

They beat out Lordi! We have a new group of Eurovision metal kings.

Shiri Maimon in the top 50! A thirty-point rise from last year, too. Lots of good Israeli songs making the cut, I’m guessing for the same kind of retrospective appreciation that happened to Portugal’s older songs last year when they won.

I imagine Bones higher. Now, from 2018, we have again France, Israël, Cyprus and maybe Hungary and Albania. In 2017, there was 5 songs of the year in top 50, can 2018 do better ? I’m septic…

I can only count four songs I outright dislike from 2018 (Sweden, Iceland, Belarus, and Russia) and I still wouldn’t even call them close to the worst I’ve ever heard in Eurovision. The rest was as strong a collection of songs I’ve heard at the contest for a while. It was a great first year for me. And next year I get to see it all from Tel Aviv!
