“We Will Love You, But No One Else Will”

Ever wonder what former Eurovision winners are up to? Well we wanted to find out too, but our research left us underwhelmed. So instead of catching up on what past victors have been doing since their big wins, Alix and Max discuss why winning the Eurovision Song Contest doesn’t necessarily lead to widespread international fame, why ABBA is the exception and not the rule, and why Netta might be the one to break the mold.* *As of posting, “Toy” is #6 on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart and #29 on the Billboard Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart. If you didn’t get a chance to see Netta perform on the Today show, you can watch it here: https://bit.ly/2MUyyBm And as promised, here are some of our favorite new tracks from past Eurovision winners: Dima Bilan (Russia, 2008) – “Derzhi” – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_LrXZbOAWQ Måns Zelmerlöw (Sweden 2015) – “Happyland” – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SWYCBhj7sE Jamala (Ukraine, 2016) – “Krila” – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9W3zXLpf09A Alexander Rybak (Norway, 2009) – “Kotik” – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxxEcOWdZsg Loreen (Sweden 2012) – “Statements” – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bdil9UO80Yo Salvador Sobral (Portugal 2017) – “Mano a Mano” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTyaEaFzL9U
