THIS CENTURY’S TOP 100
€UROVISION
SONGS
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.
DIVINE
Sebastien
Tellier
FRANCE 2008
One of this century's quirkiest entries was sung in French and English. As one of the Big 5 countries, France automatically gained a slot in the Grand Final. It was the 19th song to be performed and ended the evening in 19th place.
I FEED YOU MY LOVE
Margaret Berger
NORWAY 2013
This entry evoked memories of James Bond title songs. The well crafted pop track claimed 4th place in the Grand Final held in Malmo.
(I WOULD) DIE FOR YOU
Antique
GREECE 2001
In Copenhagen, Greece achieved its best ESC result with this upbeat track. It marked the first time the country was not represented by a song performed entirely in Greek. The duo Antique consisted of members born in Sweden to Greek parents. In the Grand Final, the song ended up in 3rd place. One member- Helena Paparizou- would return to Eurovision 4 years later and bring Greece its only victory in the contest.
I CAN'T GO ON
Robin BEngtsson
SWEDEN 2017
No country has achieved as much success at Eurovision in the current decade as Sweden. This contemporary entry was well delivered and gained the country another finish in the Top 5.
MY HEART GOES BOOM
Charmed
NORWAY 2000
This Norwegian group did not have far to travel for this century's first Eurovision. Held in Stockholm, the cheerful pop entry landed in 11th position out of a field of 24 competitors.
