It’s New Year’s Eve 2024, and that means only one thing for Eurovision fans — spending the entire day listening to the Eurovision Top 250 Countdown, known as ESC250.
The yearly poll sees fans pick their favourite 250 entries from the entire Eurovision back catalogue (that’s almost 70 year’s worth of songs).
Käärijä emerged victorious last year, with voters selecting his 2023 entry “Cha Cha Cha” as the number one Eurovision song of all time. Could any of the 2024 acts challenge him? Or perhaps previous winners Chanel or Loreen could bounce back up to the top.
Voting for ESC250 2024 — organised once again by Songfestival.be — took place earlier in the month, with Eurovision fans submitting points for their top 10 favourite songs from the contest’s history.
The results of the poll are being revealed throughout New Year’s Eve, 31 December, on EFR12 Radio. You can listen live from 11:00 CET, with the #1 song expected around 23:50 CET.
