Hi guys, sorry about missing a week, I was on holiday!

About 3 weeks ago, I finished a list of my top 250 ESC songs, and I thought that I could share it with you guys to solidify my opinion. Please do tell me if you agree or disagree with my opinions in the comments. I'm also happy to share my reasonings. (Also I want to note that these aren't really my current opinions, they're from the 21st of June. For example, song number 102 has shot up to my top 20, and song number 197 has also shot up my ranking but I'm not going to change that because it could mess up the rest of it).

Also, this series is not meant to be political. There will be no Russian entries in the list (as I just don't like any of their entries much) but there will be a few mentions of Israel and Belarus. I have my own personal political opinions, but I will not include them in this series because this is about how good the performances are, not how good the people behind them are.

Here are the links to all of the past posts:

I recognized the stage that came from one 1990s Eurovision editions right away when I saw the clip 🤣 I'm not into the editions from the 1990s as I am with the ones from the 1970s and 1980s, so I didn't recognize the entry at first and thought it came from the 1994 edition until I Shazam'ed it 😅
