There it is, some you’ll agree with, some you won’t, but I hope i may have introduced you to something new and reminded you of something you’d forgotten.
I’ll do a playlist later in the week that I will share.

Please be upstanding for the Queen of Sweden. With Every Heartbeat is up there with the best songs ever written. There’s a definition of perfection that you wouldn’t add anything and you wouldn’t take anything away.

When I first heard Mykonos, it just hit. it had that indescribable something. To this day I can’t put into words why it just works, but it just works.

Number three has the highest Welsh entry. Ooh er, misus… the only song about a dog in the top 100 shows the Super Furries in their pop song pomp.
No. 3

Speaking of California, it’s the brothers from Pacific Palisades again. Sparks have been consistently brilliant for most of their career and this has every genre they have ever done in one song.
No. 4

More people from Wales. It’s almost like there’s a bias here. Marina & The Diamonds “Hollywood” is probably the best pop song about American obsession with fame. Sharp, clever and a great tune.
No. 5

Blackpool’s Rae Morris moves over to that there America and did pretty well. Seems to be one of the forgotten people of the new pop movement but please listen to her stuff, it’s great. Yes, this song is about that.

Pottery, cigarettes and matriarchal death. Oh, it must be back to Wales. This time it’s Cate Le Bon again with a song about the death of her grandmother. Cheery.
No. 7

The highest entry that isn’t in the English language, and note I didn’t say it was in a foreign language. Gwenno is simply brilliant. Her latest album is more pop-ish but this is a heartfelt song of ire. The video’s awful though.
No. 8
NYCAW

Time for a man who represented France at Eurovision and entered on a golf cart with a blow-up globe. This however is his masterpiece, but for god’s sake don’t listen to the travesty that is the single mix.
No. 9

into the top 10 and why, oh, why, oh why, oh why (etc.) is Monica Hendal not better known? Her unique mix of country-ish and prog-ish is just great. No video for this either
No 10

Another, and her highest, entry for former member of The Polyphonic Spree, St. Vincent. Los Ageless is a bitter observation of the Californian dream.
No. 12

It is a musical injustice that the Italian rockers beat this. Barbera Previ’s performance in the final, just on her own, in a spotlight with very minimal effects. It blew my mind at the time and still does.
No 13

I’m not 100% certain that this song is about the milkshakes you get at a diner. Spiky pop perfection from Kelis

To get down with the kids, Alt-J decided to have a video based on Raphael’s The School of Athens. The youth love that kind of shit.

Neil Hannon introduces us to a pretty unlikeable character and breaks your heart in 5 minutes and 51 seconds . He’s a bloody wizard.

They may have had more members than the House of Lords, but the original incarnation gave us their best song. Overload was recorded when they were 16. Sickening.

Top 20, and back to Finland. Incredibly there’s two finish language entries in the list. This could arguably be considered the best 2nd place in Eurovision history, but there’s another one to come.
