So now its time to finalize this week of most played blogging, as you know the entries in 2020 Eurovision comes from:

Albania, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Moldova, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, San Marino, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Ukraine and United Kingdom

Albania

Not a country usually on my radar so there are not many of their entries making my private playlists.

1. “Carry me in your dreams” Kejsi Tola
2. “Its all about you” Juliana Pasha
3. “The image of you” Anjeza Shahini

Belgium

Up and down like a roller coaster, and often when they have really good entries they end up on the wrong side of the score board. No one votes even if the song is good. Belgium is a mystery that way.

1. “EuroVision” Telex
2. “1 Life” Xandee
3. “Love kills” Roberto Bellarosa

France

Oh, my old love in Eurovision, France. Still going strong and has a stream of lovely songs throughout the years.

1. “J’ai Cherché” Amir
2. “L’oiseau et l’enfant” Marie Myriam
3. “Il faut du temps” Sandrine Francois

Germany

Big in Germany, a phrase in the music world that is looked upon a bit like someone look at Mona Lisa, famous but isn’t it more than that. But in Eurovision they have some good times.

1. “Dschinghis Khan” Dschinghis Khan
2. “Telegram” Silver Convention
3. “Frauen regieren die welt” Roger Cicero

Ireland

Still the Kingdom of Eurovision with their wins in the 90s, kind of they won all of the 90s, but not often on my top 10 in Eurovision.

1. “Cross your heart” Tina Reynolds
2. “Why me” Linda Martin
3. “In your eyes” Niamh Kavanagh

Italy

Wow, it is amazing that Italy don’t win every year. Yer after year they present amazing songs climbing the charts outside Italy and many of the artists actually become famous in Europe after the contest.

1. “No degree of separation” Francesca Michielin
2. “I Treni de Tozeur” Alice e Battiato
3. “Grande amore” Il Volo

Portugal

Sadly forgotten in the Eurovision history, but finally won 2017, and well deserved.

1. “Amar pelos dois” Salvador Sobral
2. “Danca comigo” Sabrina
3. “Um grande, grande amor” Jose Cid

Spain

From Portugal to their neighbors Spain, also a country sadly forgotten today. But so many fantastic entries coming from Spain. At their best when they sound 100% Spanish.

1. “Bandido” Azucar Moreno
2. “Quien maneja mi barca” Remedios Amaya
3. “Dile que la quiero” David Civera

Switzerland

Not a favorite country for me in Eurovision, and their 2020 entry will be heavily discussed in tomorrows blog post on the 2020 contest entries. But they have had their good times as well.

1. “Ne partez pas sand moi” Celine Dion
2. “Mikado” Simone Drexel
3. “Era stupendo” Paolo Meneguzzi

The Netherlands

It feels like Netherlands and Sweden had a lot of the same vibes in the Eurovision in the 80s and 90s, a kind of Swedish Schlager over many of their entries (or if you are Dutch the opposite). But they did not manage to win until 2019 with one of the more , for me, uninteresting winners in Eurovision, “Arcade”.

1. “I see a star” Mouth and Macneal
2. “Ding dinge dong” Teach In
3. “De eerste keer” Franklin Brown and Maxine

United Kingdom

One of the biggest music markets in the world and still not able to score better in Eurovision, UK is a sad story lately and it seems like whatever path they take its a fail. A it unfair really cause they often better then their placing.

1. “Ooh Aah Just a little bit” Gina G
2. “Where are you” Imaani
3. “Cry Baby” Jemini

So, that was the most played songs from each country in the Eurovision Song Contest history, all to try to keep some Eurovision feeling in 2020 when the Eurovision Song Contest been cancelled caused by the Corona Pandemic.

Tomorrow I will discuss my ranking of the 2020 entries and wrap this Eurovision week up on Sunday with my personal points on the development of Eurovision. Whats good and what can EBU change to make it more interesting for me. Not everyone will agree but as said, it’s my own opinions.

Take care
