    Any thoughts on best winning song of the decade? And the best songs not to win it?

    My top 3
    1. Euphoria
    2. Satellite
    3. Only teardrops

    Top 3 not to win it
    1. Popular - Eric Saade
    2. Drip Drop - Safura
    3. The only one - Sergey Lazarev

    Best Irish entries?
    1.lipstick
    2. Only love survives
    3. Waterline

    Solid top 3, I would probably lose satellite and put in arcade
    I would put playing with numbers in my top 3 Irish entries.

    Top 3 not to win it...the calm after the storm and Fuego have to be in it

    Top 3 winners:

    1. Euphoria
    2. Amor Pelos Dois
    3. Heroes (Satellite a close 4th). Running Scared is easily the worst winner of the decade.

    Top 3 non-winners:

    1. City Lights (Belgium 2017)
    2. Hatriđ mun sigra (Iceland 2019)
    3. Soldi (Italy 2019)
    Countless possibilities here, 2015, 2017 and 2019 in particular were really strong years musically imo.

    Top 3 Irish entries:

    1. Playing With Numbers
    2. Together
    3. I guess Lipstick, based on how well it did. Really not a fan of any of the others though.

    Fuego is a serious tune to be fair. "You're not alone" from Hungary and Undo from Sweden also. Hard to narrow it down.

    Definitely a low quality Irish decade though

    Playing with Numbers was way too good for Eurovision.

    Have City Lights on my playlist, it's a cracking good song.

    I really never got the buzz around Amor Pelos Dois. Maybe because the artist's own disdain for the contest turned me right off him!
