Michelle hosts a special countdown to reveal 'Your Ultimate 21st Century Eurovision Song'. You've been voting for all the winners, runners up and favourites from 2000-2024.

Michelle has everything - A truly ‘Jepick’ performance from everyone’s favourite Irish twin brothers; Spain’s Slo Mo, who gave Sam Ryder a run for his money; and Antonio Diodato’s moving performance in an empty Verona amphitheatre in Italy during the pandemic, which became an anthem.

Rock is represented with Maneskin and Lordi.

Mahmood changed the game at Eurovision with his fresh and daring entry for Italy in Tel Aviv back in 2019 that nearly won him the competition - will he do as well in our chart?

Many people learned to play the flute after watching Emmelie de Forest win in Malmo with Only Teardrops.

We spent months wondering who was underneath the yellow wolf outfits for Norway in 2022… All we knew is they were called Jim and Keith. But it turned out one of the wolves was Ben Adams from A1! That’s Eurovision! Eat your heart out Daft Punk and Give That Wolf a Banana.

Who could forget the iconic Scooch in Helsinki – Flying The Flag for the UK in 2007!

After the votes have been counted, most of us will have more than one favourite for the Top Spot - Michelle will reveal all.
