THIS CENTURY’S TOP 100

€UROVISION SONGS

Since 2000, the Eurovision Song Contest has seen major changes. Many countries have hosted for the first time. New countries have dominated. While some nations have sadly withdrawn, Italy has returned and new countries – including Australia - have been welcomed.  The first 2 decades of this century has provided us with new ESC heroes and memories, including Conchita Wurst, Verka Serduchka and Ruslana. The quality of songs and number of participants- spread out over 2 semi-finals – has catered for a wide range of tastes. Here are 100 songs that stand out – some won, some qualified for the Grand Final while others were culled early; but each one carried its nation’s hopes for Eurovision glory in the annual music event.
