New Year’s Eve means only one thing for Eurovision fans — the return of the Eurovision Top 250 Countdown, often known as ESC 250. The yearly poll sees fans pick their favourite 250 entries from the contest’s history.
Eurovision 2012 champion Loreen sat atop the podium for ten consecutive years with “Euphoria”. That is until Spain’s 2022 star, Chanel, took over after climbing all the way to the top of last year’s ranking with the booty-hypnotic “SloMo”.
But in the end, neither of them were able to take home another crown this year. Instead, it was Finland’s Käärijä who emerged victorious with voters, selecting his 2023 entry “Cha Cha Cha” as the number one Eurovision song of all time.
Voting for ESC 250 — organised once again by Songfestival.be — took place earlier in the month, with Eurovision fans submitting points for their top 10 favourite songs from the contest’s history. The results of the poll were then revealed throughout New Year’s Eve, 31 December.
In a change to previous years, the 2023 countdown was held on EFR12 Radio.

A 800 places upgrade! Lol
That’s some impressive trolling. 🙂
Quite a few troll songs managed to hit the 250 list this year. Which is making me scratch my head
It’s actually a fun song. People voted for it because it is an anti-war song from Israel that can be applied to the modern day if you replace the Syrian flags for Palestinians.
Salty fans did it again. Kaarija was a trend. See how he’s gonna loose places next year.
“lose”….
Who is salty hete Ellen?
I had an amazing time listening to the radio yesterday, a great way to pass New Year’s Eve by singing and ending it with Cha cha cha was the best way to celebrate the new year on a happy and joyful note. This song can make me smile no matter how sad and depressed I am; that’s what makes Kaarija so special to me.
Happy New Year everyone!
Oh wow that is something special indeed, yes we live in quite sad times
Exactly this is what listening to i am what i am does for me, it is something what makes me smile
So yeah sorry for the nasty comments to kaarija, sending you a virtual hug too
Oh wow, a rare positive comment!
Is Wiwi really boycotting Israeli selection as some say below? If so that really is disgustingly antisemetic.
Israel was attacked and is still being attacked, they have the right to defend themselves, if you believe the world’s only Jewish state doesn’t have that right, you really need to ask yourself some deep personal questions.
Boycotting a specific nations politics is not the same as boycotting an entire religion! It is not antisemitism to protest Israels politics. Get that in your head! The word antisemitism has lost its value as of today as everyone is suddenly antisemits just because they want peace for Palestine… ridicilous…
Your comment shows your hidden antisemitism. The sooner you will understand and reflect it the better. Boycotting anything shows hatred towards it.
Boycotting something, is a form of protest. The sooner you will understand it the better.
So, boycotting Israel pre selection process that has nothing to do with the war is protesting against what exactly?!
My comment for some reason disapproved. I am out of here. enjoy being hateful.
Israel is always to be blame…nothing ne, even if they citizes are murdered, raped, burned, beheaded…still israel to be blame, never the lunatics radical islamist or more accurate jihadists….europe today knows much better which people they entered to their countries…be catefull what you wish for if you are cluess in the conflict
We are not boycotting, no. All of us work voluntarily, so there will probably be coverage of the final in due time.
The TRUE best Eurovision song of all time is seemingly Nocturne!!!! No discussion. This top250 proves it as Nocturne is the only pre?2000s song in the top25 at number 24. One has to go for a top50 to find another pre-2000s song (ABBA). Nocturne is also a song not “affected” at all by the rush of 2023 entries this year. Also despite loads of spanish, swedish and this year finnish fans as well voting like crazy for their songs, living in the NOW only, at least Nocturne stays strong! There is no way that neither “Cha Cha Cha”, “Tattoo” or… Read more »
Tattoo will exist alongside Euphoria. The others won’t , I agree. Nocturne is really one of the best songs in Esc history, but I would say arcade is the best one
Belarusban Moroco no one
I’m so happy he has won this poll. He also topped the Eurovision official site poll for video views in 2023. I know there can only be one winner and im not going to criticize the official result but for me personally he was the winner and my song of the year 2023. I wish him all the best for the future to this lovely man.
Sudden Lights yessss a small country getting justice. Legends!
Finnish people are on roll lately. Even with cross country skiing.
He was so robbed in Liverpool! And Blanca Paloma not even getting 100 jury points from jury while Loreen got 340 is nonsense. Nepotism is killing this contest.
Well, it’s not like public did justice for Blanca Paloma… at least jury placed her in the top 10. We do need the jury in this contest, whatever people can say.
I love how you blame the juries for saving Blanca Paloma.
Televoting was never supposed to stand behind that entry. But jury was like “Let’s not give too many points to anyone so that Sweden gets unbeatable lead”. Difference between 1st place and 2nd place in jury is ridiculous.
I don’t think so, I agree she should’ve placed higher but that song isn’t for everyone, I didn’t like it personally and neither did anyone else I watched the live show with. I don’t think the juries thought “let’s not vote for Spain so that loreen can win”
It was actually “let’s vote for Sweden so badly that Finland cannot win”
U know juries vote also if they like one song. If you suggest that Blanca Paloma should be higher in juries , despite their top 10 , ignoring the fact that countless people find the song annoying, then juries shouldn’t have places Kaarija that high(4th). This performance was not jury friendly. His voice was mediocre to say the least. But guess what. They liked it. Tattoo is both likeable and extremely jury friendly
am appreciating winners like Salvador, Ell & Nikki even more now, where it was solely about the song, not the gimmick while with acts like Kaarija, Netta it is all about the gimmick and novelty and less about the song no comment on Loreen i said already a lot about her lol i also love artists like Zeljko Joksimovic, Damir Kedzo, Vlado Janevski, Kaliopi, Ermal & Fabrizio, i also appreciate Georgia for doing their own thing i liked Bejba with Solo yes, but only grew on me because i saw major improvements compared to at the NF and then i… Read more »
That’s not true about Kaarija though. When the song came out literally everyone was loving the studio version because of the mix between different genres. That’s what made the song unique originally.
of course since no other artist does mix so many different genres into one song lol
which literally is him compensating for an otherwise very basic sound maybe
Does anyone know if there’s a recording of yesterday’s esc250 to listen to again?
You can on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4cpVoS3snhsvDkJIP1NDb8

And i only wonder why wiwiblogs doesnt cover israel selection to eurovision…14 finalist allrrady declared and not a word….not nice wiwi, if you dont cover because of the war i would expect you not to cover ukraine as well, double standarts? Antisemitic issues also with wiwiblogs? I find it a big shame, big one
we don’t care about israel anymore, its good to be antisemitic honestly
Well I wouldn’t be opposed to them not covering Azerbaijan either. Who actually cares about that selection?
All Eurovision fan websites agreed not to cover Israel selection.
And there is a BIG difference between what happened in Ukraine and what is happening between Israel and Palestine.
There is no diffetence, ukraine was attacked and so israel, israel doesnt have to apologize for attacking back terrorists or to feel sorry for being stronger than them, with all the respect…
Self defense is not an excuse to commit a genocide. Don’t get me wrong. I’m against the hamas and I totally understand you have to fight back but what the Israeli army is doing under the supervision of Netanyahou’s politic is not okay. Killing thousands of defenseless civilians is just a tragedy. Israel government is not fighting the hamas, it is fighting Palestine and all its people. In the end, we sadly can’t change anything as long as our politics doesn’t want to say anything but one thing is for sure, I won’t vote for Israel at Eurovision for a… Read more »
We will remember that wiwiblogs…
Who will remember that ? Is it a threat ? You will do the same what Tsahal is doing in Gaza ?
There is a difference between defending oneselves and attacking to the degree so it looks like genocide. Israhell has murdered more civilians in Gaza so far than Russia has done in Ukraine. Not nice Israel, NOT nice!!!!
I’m glad Israels selection is overlooked. I’m also going to overlook the Israeli entry and won’t listen to it voluntarily. Apart from that I’m going to enjoy the Eurovision season with my usual energy and joy.
You can ignore all day long…you really think anyone cares? Lol
Babe, you’ve been crying on so many comments about it already..
Wiwibloggs is giving us all a break from this endless war and yet you keep commenting about it here.
The boycott itself (if really there is one) is more about the people at the head of the country than against its citizens and obviously not at all linked with any antisemitic point of view.
All of us work voluntarily, so there will probably be coverage of the final in due time.
who cares about this irrelevant top250, imagine wasting your time voting in this and listening an entire day to irrelevant esc songs
And otherwise, you’re fine?
I kind of agree with that.
Kaarija winning this corrupt countdown yuk
Joker Out in 11th place! That’s fantastic <3
That’s ridiculous
I listened to the chart on esc radio and I heard a totally different ranking to what is official as I wrote it down as I heard it so I am,confused as hell as,to what the official chart is
songfestival.be
Slomo won this last year and fell off. Congrats to him but eurovision hits come and go, but the Queen of Eurovision remains: Loreen.
bon classement, et chachacha 🙂
finland withdraw for good or else
Not really into the ESC 250 but congrats to Käärijä and Sudden Lights for getting deserved placings (Brunette, too <3).
2023 is a disastrous year to soon forget pls with that stupid moron Kaarija who can’t sing and performs like a novelty clown, finland the most irrelevant joke country of them all yuk
hopefully 2024 contest will be the most generic one yet, generic songs are the best
You should rename yourself ‘TheAntiFinlandPessimist’
the anti-overhype guy more like
rarely that i like finland honestly, only whenever they have more serious entries
like Blackbird, Jezebel, Da Da Dam
Eh you’re only here to troll and say things to rile people up. I don’t respect you or your opinions. Sorry.
Please stay out this forum or have make report about You!
Yeahhhhh Blanca Paloma in the top 10
that flamenco clown in the top 10 lmao
Why are you rude and behaving like a troll?
It had massive support from only Spaniards themselves who mass voted for it. This act left the rest of Europe cold if you look at the televote score.
Better than SloMo
Lol no comment, this top 10 is full of nonsenses for me.
Spam votes did it once again, just as last year. ESC Radio had the real list without any spam votes, not this Songfestival parody.
So because you dont agree with the winner then it is all a joke? And it is all spam votes?
I’m so happy for Käärijä, wish you all the best <3
Love how Kaarija won. Big F you to the system last year and he deserved it! I do notice some songs are much higher than they would normally be because of the fandom. I do love however how Hatrid Mun Sigra got pushed up many places because of the Israel war! And it’s a good song too!
and a big F you from me to Kaarija, hopefully his career is soon over
Oh it’s far from over. His songs have millions of streams and new ones are getting hundreds of thousands if not Iona of views. Kaarija winning this poll clearly shows his song still has momentum.
We all know Käärijä is the REAL winner of Eurovision 2023!
No, the real winner was the country that got the most points overall, Sweden.
Yet not number 1 in the voting in one single country…
no he isn’t, he should’ve also nq’d with his troll entry, unfortunately we have another kaarija clone this year, that clown Joost
Who hurt you? All of your replies sound very angry, it’s really not that deep. People just enjoy music like Käärija and Joost (who has been making this kind of music since before anyone even knew Käärija by the way) because they like to have fun, you should try it some time!
My opinions are always unpopular so
I did not vote for kaarija, just not my cup of tea, i voted for voyager because they were such a slay
No offense and i am not angry at kaarija but his entry came across as novelty for me personally
I mean he has one of the top three televote scores of all time, beating Maneskin!
Loreen may have won the battle, but Käärijä won the war! The people’s favorite triumphs again! Great way to ring in the new year. Best of wishes for an awesome 2024 to all Eurovision fans!
feels more like he won the golden ball but she won the world cup
Yes and no. She might’ve won this year’s contest, but with literally every other song to have ever competed (or, in 2020’s case, would’ve competed) to be compared to, “Cha Cha Cha” came out on top here. I feel like on an existential level, at least as far as how the song’s been received by the fans, that’s also a big win.
from the 2023er field i see vesna & alika too far behind.
spain 2023 on place 10 was a good (quality) surprise.
Man i’m so so so happy that Lovewave,Viszlát nyár and Samo mi se spava being so high but why the hell Aphrodisiac,Hear them calling and Zaleilah and much more hasn’t make the top but somehow Be happy,Celebrate and Hatrid mun sigra has make the top
Why have you listed Hatrid mun sigra along with Be Happy and Celebrate?
Celebrate is just a running joke within the voters of the chart at this point
voting for sameach (be happy) looks like a protest against israel (israel hates thag song, performers had syrian flags on stage, reference to gola heights) and it’s the only israeli song to rise that much
Well this top usually has recently bias but it was kinda the correct finale to the season that we have a replay of the Tattoo vs Cha Cha Cha battle 🙂 . And that the one top has Tattoo and the other Cha Cha Cha on top. Both songs will stay in ESC history as they should! Happy new year everyone and I am looking forward to the 2024 contest!
I am also glad that some overlooked entries are present in this top 250. For example Georgia 2016 and Latvia 2023.
ESC Radio = juries (Tattoo winner)
EFR12 = televote (Cha Cha Cha winner)
well, then give it to the aland islands
50 jury people over televote millions. Not a fair voting system but kaarija the people’s champ
hallelujah for ESCRadio
those tasteless french exposed now lmao
songfestival.be is BELGIAN also escradio are clowns, accusing songfestival.be of cheating just because loreen didn’t win tenth time in a row
Tattoo is #2 on EFR12, meaning Cha Cha Cha has won!
ESC Radio had Tattoo #1 and Cha Cha Cha #2
Ah crap, it’s Cha Cha Cha that won…more fan arguments about the “real winner” coming tomorrow then.
That’s just the reality. Face it! Look at him in the eyes! Look at his bolero! Cha cha cha!
The queen Chanel is gonna come back at number one again next year i believe. She has the staying power with the best performance ever at eurovision, kariija and loreen just have recency bias, except euphoria
Euphoria #3 on EFR12 same spot as on ESC Radio.
Tattoo and Cha Cha Cha both still to be played so Top 2, same as ESC Radio, question is will it be #1 Tattoo #2 Cha Cha Cha same as ESC Radio, so same top 3 over all,
Or will Cha Cha Cha win EFR12 setting them at odds with ESC Radio and a Tattoo vs Cha Cha Cha split yet again?
Top 3 are obviously Tattoo, Euphoria, and Cha Cha Cha. Congrats to all 3, as well as to all the other wonderful entires that managed to enter this top 250. 2023 was mostly a good year. Here is to hoping that 2024 is even better! 🙂
euphoria 3rd, i guess the reign is really over
Euphoria is infinitely better than tattoo, no reason it can’t retake next year (yes I know I said the same thing last year, ooops)
I like Tattoo more
Chanel will always be remembered!!
chanel only 4th, did they geoblock the poll in spain? ^^
A split vote maybe? Some might have voted on ESC Radio, others on this one?
Or Spanish people and not all simps were voting
Loreen – Tattoo is #1 on ESC Radio
Chanel is number 4 on the song festival.be countdown, so she has lost the title.
She was even lower #7 on ESC Radio
Loreen – Tattoo is #3 on ESC Radio
#1 sorry
Looks like Loreen has taken the title on ESC Radio, but with Tattoo. Cha Cha Cha is second.
Kaarija – Cha Cha Cha is #2 on ESC Radio
This list does not seem to match what I am hearing on ESC radio: i.e. The announcer said Zitti E Buoni was at number 10.
2 different competing lists.
because the official one was aired on efr12 radio
Loreen – Euphoria is #3 on ESC Radio
Imagine Loreen wins one list and Kaarija wins the other 😀
Yep, more “real winner” rubbish. It was hard enough after the contest this year, and now here we go again…
Can’t keep track of who is who, what is what, so shall just wait until after both lists revealed and whoever has the results that are closest to my own, I shall deem the official one.
the official one is from songfestival.be hosted on efr12 radio
