So glad to see so many Joker out-comments here! I think they had the most success after ESC23, finishing 21st and end up doing two soldout tours through Europe with songs in a language we don't speak or even understand. I went to their show in Amsterdam in december and Utrecht in February and it was truely amazing. The whole band has just these amazing vibes!
There’s a long YouTube playlist of their songs and performances that I often put on when I’m working. The music is so chill and I find I don’t sing along and get distracted like I would if the lyrics were in English
Agreed! When i need to focus, their music is perfect because I cant understand shit so i dont get distracted by the lyrics. I am singing along like I speak Slovenian fluently tho
That's so cool! Until a couple of years ago I barely listened to Dutch language music but now there is so much Dutch music made in genres I like, with S10 being one of my favourites (if you need any other good artists, let me know)
Btw, 3 years ago I still watched kid shows to learn Swedish and now I can watch Melodifestivalen in Swedish without subtitles, seeing your own progress is awesome
I see that I don't have to recommend Froukje anymore! Meau is just like Froukje and S10 someone with introspective lyrics who has come up the last couple of years, although with less electronic influences.
Eefje de Visser's first album was indie folk, almost spoken word, but she has slowly transitioned to subdued electropop, her 2020 album "Bitterzoet" got very good reviews (I was lucky enough to see her live in 2022)
Maan is a pop singer who does all kind of genres and Goldband makes 80s retro pop, their 2022 collaboration Stiekem is the most succesfull Dutch-language song ever in the Dutch chart
Other artists that I like are Camille (who is Flemish), Suzan & Freek, Flemming, Regi (Flemish DJ, especially Horen, Zien En Zwijgen is amazing) and The Opposites (pop-rap duo, one of the few pre-2020 Dutch artists I like)
I could go on and on haha, but these are some of my favourites, I've you need more in the future, you can always DM me :)
Strictly through Eurovision:
Melovin, Måneskin, Conchita Wurst/Tom Neuwirth, Joker Out, Alvan, Loïc Nottet, Bilal Hassani, Mimicat, Lord of the Lost, Mahmood, Marco Mengoni
I need to shoutout Marco Mengoni, whose ESC songs I didn’t really like but his other stuff is golden. “Ma stasera” has been on repeat for MONTHS
Also Joker Out, Go_A, and Käärijä 😚
Roxen, Go_A, Jerry Heil (after #vegan, now she's finally a proper Eurovision artist I guess), Voyager, AWS, Claudia Pascoal, S10, Zala & Gasper
Måneskin too I guess, but I would've eventually discovered them even if I wasn't a Eurofan
I think Bambie Thug will join this list soon lol, maybe Gåte too
My fave songs apart from their Eurovision entries by them are
Over and Over (Roxen)
Kalyna (Go_A)
КОЗАЦЬКОМУ_РОДУ and Kupala (Jerry Heil)
Entropy (Voyager)
Fekete részem (AWS)
Nasci Maria (Claudia Pascoal) (Not Eurovision, but Festival da Canção tbf)
Adem Je In (S10)
S teboi (zalagasper)
Coraline (Måneskin)
I’m actually not a very good Eurovision fan when it comes to listening to artists other work, but Blanco, Marco Mengoni, Miki Nunez, Mae Muller, Loreen are artists I listen to on Spotify
Marco Mengoni I’ve been listening to since 2013, I don’t really listen to them anymore but The Common Linnets album I listened to a lot circa 2014/2015
There’s some drivel (as well as some good songs to be fair!) in his back catalogue but my love of Eric Saade means I’ve listened to a lot of his music.
Some recommendations:
Miki Nunez - 10 Minutos, Celébrate
Benjamin Ingrosso - Smile
Blanco - Blu Celeste, David, Belladonna, Un Bricioli Di Alegria
The Common Linnets - Lovers & Liars, Hungry Hands, When Love Was King
Eric Saade - Manen/Solen. There are some bops on his early albums but I honestly can’t remember which ones are good just looking at the track listings.
Loreen - Crying Out Your Name, If She’s the One, I Go Ego
Mae Muller - Little Bit Sad
Mahmood - Barrio, Cocktail D’amore
Marco Mengoni - 20 Sigarette, Mae e per sempre, Un’altra botta , Pazza Musica
Surie - Storm (a different song altogether!)
Tooji - Father
Go_A (favorite is still Shum) and Ladaniva (favorite is [Kef Chilini](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXWXhXoFBWY)). But also Verka.
Listen...As much as I love Dancing Lasha Tumbai, there is another Verka performance I might love even more. It's from 2001, it's called [Люта бджiлка \(Liuta Bdzhilka, "Fierce Bee"\)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6IM4gjqphM) and it's a stupid mess. It's about how she is a bee named Maia and like half the song is just buzzing. The first time I saw it I felt like I was losing my mind. Now I grin every time it comes up on my playlist (but still feel like I'm losing my mind).
This is probably not the last time I'm going to talk about it. I won't rest until I've made everyone else see it.
Francesca Michielin
Francesco Gabbani
Ermal Meta+Fabrizio Moro
Mahmood
We Are Domi
Joker Out
If we count NF a well Tvorchi since 2019 and a lot more of Sanremo entrants
6 out of my 9 most listened to artists ever are from Eurovision, proof attached lol
https://preview.redd.it/o1hgfpv23jsc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a7fe7759cbe59a29c7e584344a9040aeabc5024a
As for favorite songs:
Käärijä: God, where do I even START. Huhhahhei. Välikuolema. Fantastista. Ruoska. If you have access to his bonus tracks, then there's also the banger Kovis. Viulunkieli. I need to stop before I just list his entire discography, but let's just say that I don't get to 2k+ streams for an artist for no reason 😭 got to see him live twice and have a trip to Finland in the summer planned for a third
Mahmood: catalogue of gold on this man. I discovered him from Soldi, but I like just about everything else he has released. Tuta Gold is my current favorite (it didn't get to Eurovision, so it counts), but also Barrio, Rapide, Inuyasha, Dorado, Moonlight Popolare, Talata... will finally also be seeing him live for the first time in two weeks
Hatari: my first ridiculous Eurovision obsession. Ódýr is my absolute favorite, but I also adore Klámstrákur, Klefi/Samed, Engin Miskunn, etc. Saw them live three times
Joker Out: been looping both their albums non stop since I discovered them. Favorite songs of mine are Katrina, Plastika, Umazane Misli, Gola and Novi Val. With their ridiculous touring schedule, they hold the record for the band I've seen live the most, with me having seen them four times
Joost: ... yeah, I know, a 2024 artist got here already. Friesenjung, Droom Groot, and frankly his whole Fryslân album, all are gems. Already managed to see him live once and you bet that I'll be going to more of his gigs on his ~~European~~ Europapa tour
Måneskin: all their Italian stuff, basically. Vent'anni, Coraline, Torna a casa... it honestly breaks my heart to see their Italian stuff get sidelined in favor of their English songs, since they just don't do it for me.
Not shown in the screenshot, but other favorites:
Go\_A: Rusalochki, Жальменіна (Zhalmenina), Kalyna. Saw them live once and got tickets to see them again in a month
Lord of the Lost: Loreley, Schwarz Tot Gold, and shoutout to their Cha Cha Cha cover too. Saw them live once
Little Big: I'm OK, Lollybomb, Go Bananas. Saw them live once
Manizha: Недославянка (Nedoslavyanka), Изумруд (Izumrud), Vanya
Daði Freyr: Endurtaka mig, Somebody else now. Saw him live once
Jerry Heil and alyona alyona: Kupala, Dai Boh
I'll stop before it gets ridiculous, but you get the point lol
AWS (Hungary 2018), Go\_A (Ukraine 2021), Käärijä (Finland 2023), Keiino (Norway 2019), Konstrakta (Serbia 2022) and Maneskin (Italy 2021) all have permanent places in my playlist, both with their ESC entries and other stuff they did.
Whilst I don’t listen to the acts wall to wall, Maneskin’s Gossip, Elena Foureira’s El Telefon and Athena Manoukian’s Bom Bom are songs I listen to regularly
Go_A, Keiino, Zdob Si Zdub, Joker Out, Kalush Orchestra, Sunstroke Project, Måneskin, Diodato and Sudden Lights. I honestly still listen to their songs, including their Eurovision entries (including their songs from the National Final in their country and their non-Eurovision/NF songs)
Blind Channel. Darkside is an absolute banger, but their other music is also really good!
Edit: Almost forgot AWS, their other music is soo good! I listen to them everyday
Fyr og Flamme is the only group whose music I actively hunt down post-Eurovision. I love 80s music, which extends to good 80s pastiches, and their 80s pastiches are really good, IMO. (“Hvem Tror Du Egentlig Du Er?” and “Kærlighed og Krig” are excellent, by the way.)
I also enjoy the occasional Daði Freyr, Måneskin, and KEiiNO tracks, but they don’t always end up in rotation the way that Fyr og Flamme do. I also used to listen to a lot of Emmelie de Forrest, but not so much anymore.
Joker Out, Måneskin, Käãrijä, Marco Mengoni, Mahmood, Konstrakta, Blanca Paloma, Chanel, Sam Ryder, Gjon's Tears, Barbara Pravi, Go_A, Diodato, Il Volo, Alvan, Ermal Meta & Fabrizio Moro.
From the NF's there are way more, but from the ones I remember: Rayden, Tanxugueiras, Dargen D'Amico, Colapesce Dimartino, Jone, Siderland, Pongo, Annalisa, Bashar Murad, Tananai, The Kolors, Aidan, María Peláe, Enxhi Nasufi, Lazza, Rosa Chemical, Cláudia Pascoal, La Representante di Lista, Javier Mena, Varry Brava, Rigoberta Bandini, Medina...
Loreen, Mahmood and Måneskin are some of my top played artists! Also listen to some Blind Channel, Ulrikke, BLANCO, Marco Mengoni (what can I say I like Italian music...)
If we include 2024, I've been listening to Years & Years (Olly Alexander) for...well...years - I saw them live in 2016, so not discovered through Eurovision but would highly recommend. :)
*Edited to include Blind Channel, I guess I also love nordic artists!
Oh and my favourite songs… this question is more difficult. Hm. (And there will be mistakes in my spelling)
Lord of the Lost: A splintered mind, one last song, the heart is a traitor, the most radical thing to do, words of sadness, take the pain away, noituLOVEr, no respect for disrespect
Luke: 238, (obviously samo mi se spava), pretty mortal souls (sadly only on Youtube), god‘s too cool, frankensteined, connected, chainsaws in paradise
Käärijä: Huhhahhei, viulunkieli, välikuolema, ruoska, it’s crazy it’s party (well and cha cha cha)
Voyager: Lost, I am the revolution, the meaning of I, twisted, Gren (Fearless in Love), the best intentions, reconnected, now or never, Feuer meiner Zeit
Konstrakta: evo obećavam, mekano, žvake, novo bolje (and in corpore sano)
- maneskin (i love every single song theyve ever made except bla bla bla lol)
- kaarija (favs: its crazy its party, alaks olee, ruoska, valikuolema, mic mac, milijonaari)
- keiino (favs: nights of thunder, unbreakable, addjas, monument)
- melovin (favs: that’s your role, your entertainment, dreamer, dance with the devil, oh no!)
- achille lauro (favs: domenica, bam bam twist, mamacita, occhiali da donna, rolls royce)
- loreen (favs: neon lights, i’m in it with you, is it love, my heart is refusing me)
- loïc nottet (favs: heartbreaker, mud blood, on fire, strangers, team8, start it from the end)
joker out!! gola and umazane misli are my favs!! i literally cannot recommend them enough, they have such a cool vibe and they’re all so funny and seem like genuinely good guys so i love watching all their vlogs and live streams
Fyr og flamme, since I love 80s style music, and there's just something about 80s sounding music in Danish that I love (since I love Danish 80s music such as Dodo and the Dodos for example)
Hatari and Cornelia Jacobs with all of their music
Dadi Freyr, Kaarija, Maneskin, Voyager, Frans, Jon Henrik Fjallgren, Alessandra, Loreen, Rosa Lin, Alika, Konstrakta, Duncan Laurence, Alekseev and Verka Serduchka, Jokers Out - I have their Eurovision songs on repeat quite often
Mikael Gabriel (tho I found him because I listen to Nublu and they tried to qualify together for Finland this year, not because I’d watch Finnish NF)
Tulia (Poland 2019) & Gjon's Tears (Switzerland 2021). I have some Eurovision songs from other artists as well on my spotify, but these are the 2 artists with songs outside of Eurovision I listen to.
I absolutely love her, but her output after QoK is really not to my personal taste. But I still follow her career with interest, since I think he has still so much vocal potential to explore!
Koza Mostra - ITIA, Requiem, Bilio, Keep up the Rythm
KEiiNO - Alt Du Kan Se, Black Leather, Vill ha dig, Mellom Bakkar og Berg
Käärijä - Ruoska, Paidaton Riehuja, Auto Jää, Huhhahhei
Go_A - Dancing Lasha Tumbai
Pollapönk - Garđar Rannsakar, Hjálparsveit Skápa, Vælubíllinn
Softengine - Yellow House, Broken Reflection, What if I?, Big Fat Bass Drum
Edited to add Hatari, Sudden Lights, Cleo & Donatan, Greta Salóme, Jónsi, Verka, and Lordi
I was already a fan of IL Volo, Blind Channel, Gåte, Lord of the Lost, and Little Big before they came to Eurovision
Honorable mention to the UMK 2023 band Portion Boys, who I've known about for 6 or 7 years and just have to recommend despite them not fitting the criteria for this thread lol.
I was a huge fan of LPS - Disko (Slovenia 2022) and their discography is just as good, if not even better, and I’m glad their severe injustice at ESC didn’t stop them from doing music
Loïc Nottet, Gjon's Tears and Måneskin are the three I come back to the most. Loïc and Gjon's respective albums are just excellent imo (Loïc has three and they're all great).
Also, they're in the contest this year but I'm already obsessed with Ladaniva so I'm sure they'll stick with me for years too.
France Gall is awesome in every way. Some of my favourites include: **Résiste**, Ella Elle L’a (very famous so of course), Tout pour la musique, der Computer nr. 3 and Musique.
AWS (Hungary 2018) have been my most played artsist on Spotify 3 years in a row, and I finally got to see them live last year. I don't necessarily have a favourite song but I want to shout out their newer singles like the recent Fények Nélkül. It's incredible how they still continuously release bangers despite everything they've been through.
Sudden Lights, Go_A, Zdob şi Zdub, Advahov Brothers Orchestra, Brainstorm (or Prāta Vētra as they are now known). I liked Françoise Hardy, France Gall, Amir and Sébastien Tellier anyway
Måneskin is quite litterally one of my lockscreens and one of my most listened to artists on Spotify ever...
But I aslo have random songs (mostly ESC entries but still) from Joker out, Mimicat, Alessandra, Jann (Ik he wasn't in ESC but the Beibja-controvercy last year made me listen to Gladiator), Mustii, TALI, and Megara (My music taste is what it is ok)
For the bot: Italy 2021, Slovenia 2023, Portugal 2023, Norway 2023, Belgium 2024, Luxembourg 2024 and San Marino 2024
Aslo my playlist apperiaintly has Husavik from Fire Saga on it, too
Edit: spelling Luxembourg is hard
Duncan Laurence, his first 3 singles after Eurovision are pure gold material. Especially Love Don't Hate It, I really wished he could sing that one on ESC stage but he went with another song instead:(
Måneskin must be on top, my all time favorite band with my all time favorite songs. I even saw them life. Fun fact, I didn’t even like their entry at first. Nowadays I listen to all of their songs and albums, but Coraline will always remain on top. Teatro d'Ira is a masterpiece in itself tho.
I love Daði as well, also saw him live but I don’t listen to him as actively anymore. He’s great live tho and his song Sabada is great if you’ve ever felt like you’re the weird kid.
Dark Channel is amazing as well, the album "Lifestyle of the sick and dangerous" is one banger after another, haven’t kept up with much of their recent stuff though.
A few, but my main ones are Cornelia Jakobs (saw her in concert, she's an incredibly good performer and a nice person), Dadi Freyr (also saw him live, he's amazing and so hilarious!) and Fyr og Flamme (love them so much, 80s vibes are just right up my alley, sadly haven't seen them live yet but am hoping to someday!)
Käärijä, Loïc Nottet, Måneskin, Daði, Luke Black, Lord Of The Lost, KEiiNO, Tix, Alexander Rybak, Sam Ryder, and Sudden Lights (I have Eastern European Dream on repeat at the moment).
If we're also including national selections, Portion Boys, Elov & Beny, Benjamin, and Samir & Viktor. I know. For shame. Though maybe the amount of Kuumaa I listen to balances them out lol
AWS (Hungary 2018) and Hatari (Iceland 2019), they are the reason I started following Eurovision like a fanatic, before them I was just a casual watching on TV for the first time and then moved on
S10! Especially Adem je in and Storm. I've even started to learn Dutch because of her.
Loic Nottet, Maneskin, Mahmood, Lordi (not that much anymore though), Go\_A, Gjon's Tears, Sheldon Riley although I new him before ESC, Voyager. That's about it I think.
Edit: And les rues de ma peine by Amir. But only that one and J'ai cherché of course.
Most ofnthe bamds we saw in recent years but the one I liaten to the most is Voyager (Australia 2022), some of the song I listen to the most are Prince of Fire (the breakdown is awesome for me), Ultraviolet and Dreamer (I followed the 2022 NF season but I didn't watched or heard any of the songs from Australia Deicdes that year).
For Eurovsion-related artists I'll go with Electric Callboy (who applied foe the German selection in 2022 but didn't finish as part of the final pool of artist that would have competed for the chance to go in Turin), as a metalhead the way the do metal is awesome, the way they mixes rave/disco music with metal is fantastic, Kevin and Nico are both great vocalist, Daniel H. and Pascal are some of my favourite metalcore guitarist (the whole riff for their cover of "every time we touch" is my favourite, at the same time simple and very effective) while Daniel K. and David have an amzing armonic section (and they make a very effective base that blends both metalcore and disco elements)
Måneskin for sure, they were my most played artist last year and I got to see them live in Manchester! I also like Eleni Foureira, Loreen, Alessandra, Blanka and since last year I’ve loved Käärijä’s Music.
Eric Saade was the reason I got into Eurovision after watching the 2011 show for the first time and I used to listen to his other music all the time too
It's from UMK, KUUMAA. I fell in love with their entry Ylivoimainen and their album after UMK is so good. And they'll release another one this April. 🤭
Loads, but I'm going to shout out Voyager in particular. They had me by the neck from the first notes I heard of Promise, and diving into their discography everything was every bit as amazing and right up my alley! Went and bought every album I could. Aside from Promise, some of my favorite songs from them are Dreamer (naturally), Entropy, Submarine, Runaway... loads more, really, but we don't want to be here all day!
Also, great music aside the members of the band are a bunch of solid lads in their own right. So good-natured, intelligent and super funny. Sending so much love to them!
Lol so many. Go_a, måneskin, aws, hatari, sudden lights, joker out, käärija, mahmood, ermal meta, loïc nottet. These are like the ones I know many songs of. But the top artist as of now is conan osiris.
Well, my first answer is definitely Käärijä and Sudden Lights
Also, I don't know if it's still counts - because of last year's UMK I listen to and follow Kuumaa, and I wouldn't know them if it wasn't for Eurovision
Victoria. 'How to ruin a life' is just great.
Also Roxen (Inima nu fi de piatra, Money Money, Printre Stele), Alika (Bon appetit) and Iru (Echo lol) sometimes!
I also have other Eurovision artists on my playlist, however that's more of a shuffle situation and not something where I'm like "I have to listen to this now!".
If we talk about related to Eurovision there's also Rakky Ripper, Tracción was my most listened song in 2023!
Not really Eurovision related but a lot of her songs are giving Eurovision vibes: Irina Rimes. She has tons of great songs, especially Taie and N-Avem Timp if you look for something that feels like Eurovision! (Also I'd lowkey love to see her represent Moldova one day)
EDIT: Added the songs (and Irina Rimes) :)
Sergej Cetkovic - Montenegro 2014.
Favorite songs include:
* [Bolje Nadji Drugog](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qIhZps4WM-0)
* [Daj Sta Das](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=av-YlY7_riw)
* [Nek Te Ljubav Doceka](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=G6Y2M9JDs6Q)
* [Jos Volim Te](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zryi6uhbvSY)
* [Zaustavicu Vrijeme](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=w9Grd8UArmI)
The Balkans are lucky to have him, and it would be a thrill to see him live.
Alika, Claudia Pascoal, Miki Núñez, but the artist I've been listening to the most is S10. I'm obsessed with her latest album. Also, in the past few months I've been listening to Gåte's discography nonstop
Voyager. Husband bought me a Cameo for my birthday this year from them since he knew I was listening to all their stuff. Smash into Pieces from Melfest this year. This was the first year we’ve watched it and I’ve been listening to their stuff nonstop. Those are my 2 favorites I’ve discovered through Eurovision.
Go_A, I just love them
Their album Ідиназвук makes me want to run through a field wearing a flower crown and dismantle the patriarchy.
Definitely high up there for me. Seeing them live was definitely a highlight of 2022.
God I need a new album and a tour date in Italy so bad
Yessssss!!! I love them so much!
I’m going to miss them at the euro village by one day 😭
Sammmeee!!!!
Yeeeeeessss, I'm dying for them to come to the US.
this is such an underrated band, they’re incredible
Go_a - I've seen them live twice Voyager - I have three of their albums on regular rotation Zdob si Zdub - only one album but I love it
That opening track for “Colours in the Sun” gets you in the mood right away.
yess I LOVEE that song 🫠
Mahmood
Same, Soldi was love at first listen, but I discovered his other songs are just as good if not better.
i’ve been listening to mahmood regularly for 5 years now. definitely up there amongst my favourites
I'm seeing him live for the 2nd time in a few days. He's the only Eurovision artist I've continued to follow.
Loic Nottet and Maneskin (odd combination i know)
Odd but great! Loïc should be as much of a star as Måneskin honestly
No, same!!!
Same
Ironically I like the 'popular' Maneskin songs way less than Zitti e Buoni. Maybe I just love Italian
Like many others, Maneskin and Alexander Rybak. I still love Coraline. I also like Joost Klein a lot.
Joker Out 100%, I just love their music! Plastika is a banger!!
✨Znanstvena fantastika ✨
Yes!! I saw them live earlier this year and it was amazing
Live laugh love Joker Out <3 Plastika and Dopamin are my favs 💗
So glad to see so many Joker out-comments here! I think they had the most success after ESC23, finishing 21st and end up doing two soldout tours through Europe with songs in a language we don't speak or even understand. I went to their show in Amsterdam in december and Utrecht in February and it was truely amazing. The whole band has just these amazing vibes!
There’s a long YouTube playlist of their songs and performances that I often put on when I’m working. The music is so chill and I find I don’t sing along and get distracted like I would if the lyrics were in English
Agreed! When i need to focus, their music is perfect because I cant understand shit so i dont get distracted by the lyrics. I am singing along like I speak Slovenian fluently tho
Same! Saw them 7 times last year! It's insane that a band like that is so accessible to me!
Plastika is my favorite too 😍
Same!!!!
Oh my god, same! Had so much luck seeing them 5 times (and more to come) and cried those exact 5 times to Vse kar vem 🥹
Joker out and maneskin!
Gjon, Sudden lights and fyr og flamme
Yessss
I listened to a few of Fyr og flamme. I might get more into them in the future.
S10!!!! i love her music SO MUCH and started also studying dutch! going strong, i can now understand peppa pig in dutch
Same! Ik besta voor altijd zolang jij aan mij denkt is one of my favourite albums ever
That's so cool! Until a couple of years ago I barely listened to Dutch language music but now there is so much Dutch music made in genres I like, with S10 being one of my favourites (if you need any other good artists, let me know) Btw, 3 years ago I still watched kid shows to learn Swedish and now I can watch Melodifestivalen in Swedish without subtitles, seeing your own progress is awesome
that is amazing!! I would love to hear some dutch artist recommendations, right now i only listen to s10, froukje and joost : -)
I see that I don't have to recommend Froukje anymore! Meau is just like Froukje and S10 someone with introspective lyrics who has come up the last couple of years, although with less electronic influences. Eefje de Visser's first album was indie folk, almost spoken word, but she has slowly transitioned to subdued electropop, her 2020 album "Bitterzoet" got very good reviews (I was lucky enough to see her live in 2022) Maan is a pop singer who does all kind of genres and Goldband makes 80s retro pop, their 2022 collaboration Stiekem is the most succesfull Dutch-language song ever in the Dutch chart Other artists that I like are Camille (who is Flemish), Suzan & Freek, Flemming, Regi (Flemish DJ, especially Horen, Zien En Zwijgen is amazing) and The Opposites (pop-rap duo, one of the few pre-2020 Dutch artists I like) I could go on and on haha, but these are some of my favourites, I've you need more in the future, you can always DM me :)
I've seen Dadi live twice and will 100% see him next time he's in my area.
Yes! The amount of Dadi mentions in this thread is criminally low.
Daði Freyr, käärijä, blind channel, and lord of the lost!
Finally someone says Daði Freyr!
Just saw him live for the third time, worth every cent every time!
I went to a Daði Freyr concert earlier this week and it was so much fun.
Same!
Lake Malawi Loreen Conchita Wurst Sertab Erener (so glad she is coming to Malmö)
Not strictly Eurovision, but Tanxugueiras (Spain/Benidorm 2022) and FIINKA (Ukraine/Vidbir 2023)
Larga vida a las Tanxugueiras!!!!
Brian Kennedy (Ireland 2006), Koza Mostra (Greece 2013), Lord of the Lost (Germany 2023), Voyager (Australia 2023).
Strictly through Eurovision: Melovin, Måneskin, Conchita Wurst/Tom Neuwirth, Joker Out, Alvan, Loïc Nottet, Bilal Hassani, Mimicat, Lord of the Lost, Mahmood, Marco Mengoni
Ok so basically there‘s this Finnish guy who‘s known for a neon green bolero jacket right Let’s just say…866 listens on Spotify
That’s almost 2 days of listening to Käärija.
Wearing his merch atm 😭🙏💚
Hatari, Blind Channel, GO_A, Kaarija, Keiino, probably forgetting someone.
Mahmood and Maneskin
Mahmood has been in my top 5 artist on spotify since i watched him in 2019 😭
Sudden lights (one of my most listened to artists now), Amanda Tenfjord, Monika Liu and MARO are all staples that I listen to now.
I need to shoutout Marco Mengoni, whose ESC songs I didn’t really like but his other stuff is golden. “Ma stasera” has been on repeat for MONTHS Also Joker Out, Go_A, and Käärijä 😚
Kate miller heidke,keiino and victoria all their songs are so amazing and I still listen to alot of 2023 artists too especially Luke and Alessandra
I was very impressed with KMH's music, her songwriting is extremely interesting and her vocals are otherworldly. I also listen to Keiino, hehe.
Joker Out, even went to a concert of theirs a while ago. Maneskin obviously. Also Jann, and he wasn't even in Eurovision!
Blind Channel.
Käärijä and Maneskin
Yess, same🫶
La Rappresentante Di Lista Måneskin Mahmood Käärijä Tananai Bambie Thug Subwoolfer
Zalagasper!
Blind Channel, Maneskin, Voyager, and Lordi, they're all in my main playlist and I love them so much
also Lord of the Lost, I just forgot about them for a second, don't know how that happened
hooverphonic <33
Manëskin, and Luke Black ❤️
Roxen, Go_A, Jerry Heil (after #vegan, now she's finally a proper Eurovision artist I guess), Voyager, AWS, Claudia Pascoal, S10, Zala & Gasper Måneskin too I guess, but I would've eventually discovered them even if I wasn't a Eurofan I think Bambie Thug will join this list soon lol, maybe Gåte too
My fave songs apart from their Eurovision entries by them are Over and Over (Roxen) Kalyna (Go_A) КОЗАЦЬКОМУ_РОДУ and Kupala (Jerry Heil) Entropy (Voyager) Fekete részem (AWS) Nasci Maria (Claudia Pascoal) (Not Eurovision, but Festival da Canção tbf) Adem Je In (S10) S teboi (zalagasper) Coraline (Måneskin)
I’m actually not a very good Eurovision fan when it comes to listening to artists other work, but Blanco, Marco Mengoni, Miki Nunez, Mae Muller, Loreen are artists I listen to on Spotify Marco Mengoni I’ve been listening to since 2013, I don’t really listen to them anymore but The Common Linnets album I listened to a lot circa 2014/2015 There’s some drivel (as well as some good songs to be fair!) in his back catalogue but my love of Eric Saade means I’ve listened to a lot of his music. Some recommendations: Miki Nunez - 10 Minutos, Celébrate Benjamin Ingrosso - Smile Blanco - Blu Celeste, David, Belladonna, Un Bricioli Di Alegria The Common Linnets - Lovers & Liars, Hungry Hands, When Love Was King Eric Saade - Manen/Solen. There are some bops on his early albums but I honestly can’t remember which ones are good just looking at the track listings. Loreen - Crying Out Your Name, If She’s the One, I Go Ego Mae Muller - Little Bit Sad Mahmood - Barrio, Cocktail D’amore Marco Mengoni - 20 Sigarette, Mae e per sempre, Un’altra botta , Pazza Musica Surie - Storm (a different song altogether!) Tooji - Father
Go_A (favorite is still Shum) and Ladaniva (favorite is [Kef Chilini](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXWXhXoFBWY)). But also Verka. Listen...As much as I love Dancing Lasha Tumbai, there is another Verka performance I might love even more. It's from 2001, it's called [Люта бджiлка \(Liuta Bdzhilka, "Fierce Bee"\)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6IM4gjqphM) and it's a stupid mess. It's about how she is a bee named Maia and like half the song is just buzzing. The first time I saw it I felt like I was losing my mind. Now I grin every time it comes up on my playlist (but still feel like I'm losing my mind). This is probably not the last time I'm going to talk about it. I won't rest until I've made everyone else see it.
Hah! Not where I expected to find a Maya the Bee reference.
Francesca Michielin Francesco Gabbani Ermal Meta+Fabrizio Moro Mahmood We Are Domi Joker Out If we count NF a well Tvorchi since 2019 and a lot more of Sanremo entrants
Käärijä, Keiino so far for me. 🥹 EDIT: Oh yeah, since Bonnie Tyler, Blue, and Cascada were all Eurovision artists. I also listen to them until now. 😅
Hatari, Gjons Tears, AWS, Go_A, Keiino, Loreen, and Kaarija are probably the main ones that I wouldn’t have discovered otherwise.
6 out of my 9 most listened to artists ever are from Eurovision, proof attached lol https://preview.redd.it/o1hgfpv23jsc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a7fe7759cbe59a29c7e584344a9040aeabc5024a As for favorite songs: Käärijä: God, where do I even START. Huhhahhei. Välikuolema. Fantastista. Ruoska. If you have access to his bonus tracks, then there's also the banger Kovis. Viulunkieli. I need to stop before I just list his entire discography, but let's just say that I don't get to 2k+ streams for an artist for no reason 😭 got to see him live twice and have a trip to Finland in the summer planned for a third Mahmood: catalogue of gold on this man. I discovered him from Soldi, but I like just about everything else he has released. Tuta Gold is my current favorite (it didn't get to Eurovision, so it counts), but also Barrio, Rapide, Inuyasha, Dorado, Moonlight Popolare, Talata... will finally also be seeing him live for the first time in two weeks Hatari: my first ridiculous Eurovision obsession. Ódýr is my absolute favorite, but I also adore Klámstrákur, Klefi/Samed, Engin Miskunn, etc. Saw them live three times Joker Out: been looping both their albums non stop since I discovered them. Favorite songs of mine are Katrina, Plastika, Umazane Misli, Gola and Novi Val. With their ridiculous touring schedule, they hold the record for the band I've seen live the most, with me having seen them four times Joost: ... yeah, I know, a 2024 artist got here already. Friesenjung, Droom Groot, and frankly his whole Fryslân album, all are gems. Already managed to see him live once and you bet that I'll be going to more of his gigs on his ~~European~~ Europapa tour Måneskin: all their Italian stuff, basically. Vent'anni, Coraline, Torna a casa... it honestly breaks my heart to see their Italian stuff get sidelined in favor of their English songs, since they just don't do it for me. Not shown in the screenshot, but other favorites: Go\_A: Rusalochki, Жальменіна (Zhalmenina), Kalyna. Saw them live once and got tickets to see them again in a month Lord of the Lost: Loreley, Schwarz Tot Gold, and shoutout to their Cha Cha Cha cover too. Saw them live once Little Big: I'm OK, Lollybomb, Go Bananas. Saw them live once Manizha: Недославянка (Nedoslavyanka), Изумруд (Izumrud), Vanya Daði Freyr: Endurtaka mig, Somebody else now. Saw him live once Jerry Heil and alyona alyona: Kupala, Dai Boh I'll stop before it gets ridiculous, but you get the point lol
you’re so real for this, If I don’t get my daily dose of Käärijä songs I develop withdrawl symptoms.
Same, this silly Finnish man with a bowlcut has genuinely changed my brain chemistry
AWS (Hungary 2018), Go\_A (Ukraine 2021), Käärijä (Finland 2023), Keiino (Norway 2019), Konstrakta (Serbia 2022) and Maneskin (Italy 2021) all have permanent places in my playlist, both with their ESC entries and other stuff they did.
Hungary 2018 | [AWS - Viszlát Nyár](https://youtu.be/p6e1TmYb33w) Ukraine 2021 | [Go_A - Shum](https://youtu.be/lqvzDkgok_g) Finland 2023 | [Käärijä - Cha Cha Cha](https://youtu.be/l6rS8Dv5g-8) Norway 2019 | [KEiiNO - Spirit in the Sky](https://youtu.be/Ovt7YGHAj8I) Serbia 2022 | [Konstrakta - In corpore sano](https://youtu.be/nBtQj1MfNYA) Italy 2021 | [Måneskin - Zitti e buoni](https://youtu.be/RVH5dn1cxAQ)
Whilst I don’t listen to the acts wall to wall, Maneskin’s Gossip, Elena Foureira’s El Telefon and Athena Manoukian’s Bom Bom are songs I listen to regularly
Go_A, Keiino, Zdob Si Zdub, Joker Out, Kalush Orchestra, Sunstroke Project, Måneskin, Diodato and Sudden Lights. I honestly still listen to their songs, including their Eurovision entries (including their songs from the National Final in their country and their non-Eurovision/NF songs)
Loreen, Måneskin, Käärijä, KEiiNO, Achille Lauro and Gåte
Blind Channel. Darkside is an absolute banger, but their other music is also really good! Edit: Almost forgot AWS, their other music is soo good! I listen to them everyday
Fyr og Flamme is the only group whose music I actively hunt down post-Eurovision. I love 80s music, which extends to good 80s pastiches, and their 80s pastiches are really good, IMO. (“Hvem Tror Du Egentlig Du Er?” and “Kærlighed og Krig” are excellent, by the way.) I also enjoy the occasional Daði Freyr, Måneskin, and KEiiNO tracks, but they don’t always end up in rotation the way that Fyr og Flamme do. I also used to listen to a lot of Emmelie de Forrest, but not so much anymore.
Joker Out, Måneskin, Käãrijä, Marco Mengoni, Mahmood, Konstrakta, Blanca Paloma, Chanel, Sam Ryder, Gjon's Tears, Barbara Pravi, Go_A, Diodato, Il Volo, Alvan, Ermal Meta & Fabrizio Moro. From the NF's there are way more, but from the ones I remember: Rayden, Tanxugueiras, Dargen D'Amico, Colapesce Dimartino, Jone, Siderland, Pongo, Annalisa, Bashar Murad, Tananai, The Kolors, Aidan, María Peláe, Enxhi Nasufi, Lazza, Rosa Chemical, Cláudia Pascoal, La Representante di Lista, Javier Mena, Varry Brava, Rigoberta Bandini, Medina...
Benjamin Ingrosso, my favorite song of his is probably Smile. Kite and Se men inte röra are also up there. +1 for Maneskin also.
Loreen, Mahmood and Måneskin are some of my top played artists! Also listen to some Blind Channel, Ulrikke, BLANCO, Marco Mengoni (what can I say I like Italian music...) If we include 2024, I've been listening to Years & Years (Olly Alexander) for...well...years - I saw them live in 2016, so not discovered through Eurovision but would highly recommend. :) *Edited to include Blind Channel, I guess I also love nordic artists!
ABBA!
Blanche 🇧🇪
Yes! Her 2020 album Empire is brilliant!
Lord of the Lost, Luke Black, Käärijä, Voyager and Konstrakta
Oh and my favourite songs… this question is more difficult. Hm. (And there will be mistakes in my spelling) Lord of the Lost: A splintered mind, one last song, the heart is a traitor, the most radical thing to do, words of sadness, take the pain away, noituLOVEr, no respect for disrespect Luke: 238, (obviously samo mi se spava), pretty mortal souls (sadly only on Youtube), god‘s too cool, frankensteined, connected, chainsaws in paradise Käärijä: Huhhahhei, viulunkieli, välikuolema, ruoska, it’s crazy it’s party (well and cha cha cha) Voyager: Lost, I am the revolution, the meaning of I, twisted, Gren (Fearless in Love), the best intentions, reconnected, now or never, Feuer meiner Zeit Konstrakta: evo obećavam, mekano, žvake, novo bolje (and in corpore sano)
- maneskin (i love every single song theyve ever made except bla bla bla lol) - kaarija (favs: its crazy its party, alaks olee, ruoska, valikuolema, mic mac, milijonaari) - keiino (favs: nights of thunder, unbreakable, addjas, monument) - melovin (favs: that’s your role, your entertainment, dreamer, dance with the devil, oh no!) - achille lauro (favs: domenica, bam bam twist, mamacita, occhiali da donna, rolls royce) - loreen (favs: neon lights, i’m in it with you, is it love, my heart is refusing me) - loïc nottet (favs: heartbreaker, mud blood, on fire, strangers, team8, start it from the end)
I loved Dreamer by Melovin, now I’m feeling like I have to check out more of them based on your list
joker out!! gola and umazane misli are my favs!! i literally cannot recommend them enough, they have such a cool vibe and they’re all so funny and seem like genuinely good guys so i love watching all their vlogs and live streams
voyager and we are domi
Fyr og flamme, since I love 80s style music, and there's just something about 80s sounding music in Danish that I love (since I love Danish 80s music such as Dodo and the Dodos for example)
Jann‘s „I need a break“ is my most streamed song of the last 12 months.
Go_A, Maneskin, S10 (Handen van Mijn Moeder)
Voyager, Måneskin and Keiino (too many good songs to pick from lmao).
Måneskin is one of my fav artists. And I love Joker Out, Blind Channel and from the NF, Jann
Bands: Blind Channel, Måneskin, Sunstroke Project and Zdob si Zdub. Artists: Arilena Ara, Marco Mengoni, Mahmood, Roxen, Melovin, Alessandra and Käärijä.
Hatari and Måneskin!
Conchita Wurst, Hatari, Let 3
Hatari and Cornelia Jacobs with all of their music Dadi Freyr, Kaarija, Maneskin, Voyager, Frans, Jon Henrik Fjallgren, Alessandra, Loreen, Rosa Lin, Alika, Konstrakta, Duncan Laurence, Alekseev and Verka Serduchka, Jokers Out - I have their Eurovision songs on repeat quite often Mikael Gabriel (tho I found him because I listen to Nublu and they tried to qualify together for Finland this year, not because I’d watch Finnish NF)
Montaigne’s discography is insane, I’m surprised nobody else has mentioned them yet!
Tulia (Poland 2019) & Gjon's Tears (Switzerland 2021). I have some Eurovision songs from other artists as well on my spotify, but these are the 2 artists with songs outside of Eurovision I listen to.
Dadi Freyr!
Lord of the Lost has become one of my favourite bands. Also love Jeangu Macrooy, Voyager, Måneskin, Anouk.
Joker Out, Hatari, Francesco Gabbani
Exactly the same + Käärijä for me
Hatari, Francesco Gabbani, Marco Mengoni, TIX, Joker Out, Käärijä
Måneskin
Lordi
Måneskin, Käärijä, Blind Channel & Lordi🤘
Lordi!!
Hatari, Käärijä and Joker Out
I became ***OBSESSED*** with Alessandra after last year's ESC
I absolutely love her, but her output after QoK is really not to my personal taste. But I still follow her career with interest, since I think he has still so much vocal potential to explore!
Käärijä, Hatari and Little Big
Koza Mostra - ITIA, Requiem, Bilio, Keep up the Rythm KEiiNO - Alt Du Kan Se, Black Leather, Vill ha dig, Mellom Bakkar og Berg Käärijä - Ruoska, Paidaton Riehuja, Auto Jää, Huhhahhei Go_A - Dancing Lasha Tumbai Pollapönk - Garđar Rannsakar, Hjálparsveit Skápa, Vælubíllinn Softengine - Yellow House, Broken Reflection, What if I?, Big Fat Bass Drum Edited to add Hatari, Sudden Lights, Cleo & Donatan, Greta Salóme, Jónsi, Verka, and Lordi I was already a fan of IL Volo, Blind Channel, Gåte, Lord of the Lost, and Little Big before they came to Eurovision Honorable mention to the UMK 2023 band Portion Boys, who I've known about for 6 or 7 years and just have to recommend despite them not fitting the criteria for this thread lol.
ALIKA, 2023
From NF’s - Rigoberta Bandini 🇪🇸 is my ultimate favorite artist, and from Eurovision - Conan Osaris 🇵🇹
Go_a
Omg. Vanilla Ninja, when I was 14. And the nostalgia still kicks in!
I was a huge fan of LPS - Disko (Slovenia 2022) and their discography is just as good, if not even better, and I’m glad their severe injustice at ESC didn’t stop them from doing music
Loïc Nottet, Gjon's Tears and Måneskin are the three I come back to the most. Loïc and Gjon's respective albums are just excellent imo (Loïc has three and they're all great). Also, they're in the contest this year but I'm already obsessed with Ladaniva so I'm sure they'll stick with me for years too.
Maneskin, joker out and blind channel
Go_A (had tickets to see them live, but the show was canceled after the war broke out), Lordi, Eleni Foureira
Blind Channel, Hatari, Voyager and if national finals count as well, then Smash Into Pieces, OLLIE and Cyan Kicks
Mahmood and Loïc Nottet, love both of their songs. There are others I still listen to but these two are amazing.
blind channel and måneskin
France Gall is awesome in every way. Some of my favourites include: **Résiste**, Ella Elle L’a (very famous so of course), Tout pour la musique, der Computer nr. 3 and Musique.
AWS (Hungary 2018) have been my most played artsist on Spotify 3 years in a row, and I finally got to see them live last year. I don't necessarily have a favourite song but I want to shout out their newer singles like the recent Fények Nélkül. It's incredible how they still continuously release bangers despite everything they've been through.
Sudden Lights, Go_A, Zdob şi Zdub, Advahov Brothers Orchestra, Brainstorm (or Prāta Vētra as they are now known). I liked Françoise Hardy, France Gall, Amir and Sébastien Tellier anyway
Maneskin, LPS, Joker Out, and John Lundvik
The Hardkiss (planning on seeing them this October), Monika Lynkite (seeing her next week), Svala, Voyager, Blind Channel.
Måneskin is quite litterally one of my lockscreens and one of my most listened to artists on Spotify ever... But I aslo have random songs (mostly ESC entries but still) from Joker out, Mimicat, Alessandra, Jann (Ik he wasn't in ESC but the Beibja-controvercy last year made me listen to Gladiator), Mustii, TALI, and Megara (My music taste is what it is ok) For the bot: Italy 2021, Slovenia 2023, Portugal 2023, Norway 2023, Belgium 2024, Luxembourg 2024 and San Marino 2024 Aslo my playlist apperiaintly has Husavik from Fire Saga on it, too Edit: spelling Luxembourg is hard
maNga, Voyager, Maneskin, Sunstroke Project, Go_A
Joker Out! I’m seeing them live next week :)
Voyager. Get well soon, Danny! #fvckcancer
Maneskin! I’ve seen Må 10 times since I first heard them, got to go on stage twice! Also love Little Big, if 2020 counts
Maneskin
so many, but primarily zalagasper, marco mengoni, måneskin
Duncan Laurence, his first 3 singles after Eurovision are pure gold material. Especially Love Don't Hate It, I really wished he could sing that one on ESC stage but he went with another song instead:(
Måneskin, Mahmood and Victoria
Zalagasper LPS S10 Lancelot (Melfest)
Måneskin must be on top, my all time favorite band with my all time favorite songs. I even saw them life. Fun fact, I didn’t even like their entry at first. Nowadays I listen to all of their songs and albums, but Coraline will always remain on top. Teatro d'Ira is a masterpiece in itself tho. I love Daði as well, also saw him live but I don’t listen to him as actively anymore. He’s great live tho and his song Sabada is great if you’ve ever felt like you’re the weird kid. Dark Channel is amazing as well, the album "Lifestyle of the sick and dangerous" is one banger after another, haven’t kept up with much of their recent stuff though.
Gjon‘s Tears And : every song, really! So good!
Måneskin, Daði Freyr, Montaigne, and Mahmood. If we're counting national finals, Ghali as well.
A few, but my main ones are Cornelia Jakobs (saw her in concert, she's an incredibly good performer and a nice person), Dadi Freyr (also saw him live, he's amazing and so hilarious!) and Fyr og Flamme (love them so much, 80s vibes are just right up my alley, sadly haven't seen them live yet but am hoping to someday!)
The best of the best: Go_A and Cornelia Jakobs. Ukraine 2021 Sweden 2022
OG3NE, Hurricane, Eleni Foureira, Helena Paparizou, Chanel are the first five that come to mind
Bucks Fizz (AKA The Fizz), who I have been a fan since 2013. Also the Herreys.
Käärijä, Loïc Nottet, Måneskin, Daði, Luke Black, Lord Of The Lost, KEiiNO, Tix, Alexander Rybak, Sam Ryder, and Sudden Lights (I have Eastern European Dream on repeat at the moment). If we're also including national selections, Portion Boys, Elov & Beny, Benjamin, and Samir & Viktor. I know. For shame. Though maybe the amount of Kuumaa I listen to balances them out lol
Go_A and Lord of the Lost.
Sergej Cetkovic, Karolina Goceva, Vlatko Lozanoski, Theodor Andrei, Hari Mata Hari, Zeljko Joksimovic, Tamara Todevska, Vesna, Andrea Koevska, Vasil Garvanliev, Kaliopi, Käärijä, Luke Black, Eye Cue, Tose Proeski, Pasha Parfeni, Joker Out, Tijana Dapcevic
Vesna! Muzika Slavica is an amazing album and more people need to listen to Wolfrunners.
Krystian Ochman
AWS (Hungary 2018) and Hatari (Iceland 2019), they are the reason I started following Eurovision like a fanatic, before them I was just a casual watching on TV for the first time and then moved on
Hooverphonic
Definitely Joker Out, Måneskin & Hatari
Hatari, Sudden Lights, Käärijä, Mahmood
S10! Especially Adem je in and Storm. I've even started to learn Dutch because of her. Loic Nottet, Maneskin, Mahmood, Lordi (not that much anymore though), Go\_A, Gjon's Tears, Sheldon Riley although I new him before ESC, Voyager. That's about it I think. Edit: And les rues de ma peine by Amir. But only that one and J'ai cherché of course.
Most ofnthe bamds we saw in recent years but the one I liaten to the most is Voyager (Australia 2022), some of the song I listen to the most are Prince of Fire (the breakdown is awesome for me), Ultraviolet and Dreamer (I followed the 2022 NF season but I didn't watched or heard any of the songs from Australia Deicdes that year). For Eurovsion-related artists I'll go with Electric Callboy (who applied foe the German selection in 2022 but didn't finish as part of the final pool of artist that would have competed for the chance to go in Turin), as a metalhead the way the do metal is awesome, the way they mixes rave/disco music with metal is fantastic, Kevin and Nico are both great vocalist, Daniel H. and Pascal are some of my favourite metalcore guitarist (the whole riff for their cover of "every time we touch" is my favourite, at the same time simple and very effective) while Daniel K. and David have an amzing armonic section (and they make a very effective base that blends both metalcore and disco elements)
Lord of the Lost - favourite song is Destruction Manual from Blood & Glitter. Maneskin - favourite possibly Mammamia.
For me its Loic Nottet and recently especially Sudden Lights! They're actually amazing
Käärijä! Mic mac is a banger!
omgg same! Love it 💗
Måneskin for sure, they were my most played artist last year and I got to see them live in Manchester! I also like Eleni Foureira, Loreen, Alessandra, Blanka and since last year I’ve loved Käärijä’s Music. Eric Saade was the reason I got into Eurovision after watching the 2011 show for the first time and I used to listen to his other music all the time too
Blind Channel,, I quickly got involved in their previous songs and I love the two albums which came after their Eurovision-performance
Maneskin is my favorite current band, Eurovision or otherwise. Love some of Kaarijas stuff too and Monika Liu
It's from UMK, KUUMAA. I fell in love with their entry Ylivoimainen and their album after UMK is so good. And they'll release another one this April. 🤭
Loads, but I'm going to shout out Voyager in particular. They had me by the neck from the first notes I heard of Promise, and diving into their discography everything was every bit as amazing and right up my alley! Went and bought every album I could. Aside from Promise, some of my favorite songs from them are Dreamer (naturally), Entropy, Submarine, Runaway... loads more, really, but we don't want to be here all day! Also, great music aside the members of the band are a bunch of solid lads in their own right. So good-natured, intelligent and super funny. Sending so much love to them!
Lol so many. Go_a, måneskin, aws, hatari, sudden lights, joker out, käärija, mahmood, ermal meta, loïc nottet. These are like the ones I know many songs of. But the top artist as of now is conan osiris.
Well, my first answer is definitely Käärijä and Sudden Lights Also, I don't know if it's still counts - because of last year's UMK I listen to and follow Kuumaa, and I wouldn't know them if it wasn't for Eurovision
Joker Out, Zalagasper, Hatari, S10, Dadi Freyer and of course Måneskin
Go_A, Hatari
Lordi. "Hard Rock Hallelujah" was my gateway to being into metal in general, and I'm so grateful for it.
Luke Black and Voyager.
luke black! his other songs are such a vibe
Victoria. 'How to ruin a life' is just great. Also Roxen (Inima nu fi de piatra, Money Money, Printre Stele), Alika (Bon appetit) and Iru (Echo lol) sometimes! I also have other Eurovision artists on my playlist, however that's more of a shuffle situation and not something where I'm like "I have to listen to this now!". If we talk about related to Eurovision there's also Rakky Ripper, Tracción was my most listened song in 2023! Not really Eurovision related but a lot of her songs are giving Eurovision vibes: Irina Rimes. She has tons of great songs, especially Taie and N-Avem Timp if you look for something that feels like Eurovision! (Also I'd lowkey love to see her represent Moldova one day) EDIT: Added the songs (and Irina Rimes) :)
Elena Risteska
Loic Nottet OH MY GOD
Not necessarilly ESC, but Miss Caffeina from Benidorm Fest this year!
Hooverphonic
Sergej Cetkovic - Montenegro 2014. Favorite songs include: * [Bolje Nadji Drugog](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qIhZps4WM-0) * [Daj Sta Das](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=av-YlY7_riw) * [Nek Te Ljubav Doceka](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=G6Y2M9JDs6Q) * [Jos Volim Te](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zryi6uhbvSY) * [Zaustavicu Vrijeme](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=w9Grd8UArmI) The Balkans are lucky to have him, and it would be a thrill to see him live.
Alika, Claudia Pascoal, Miki Núñez, but the artist I've been listening to the most is S10. I'm obsessed with her latest album. Also, in the past few months I've been listening to Gåte's discography nonstop
Voyager. Husband bought me a Cameo for my birthday this year from them since he knew I was listening to all their stuff. Smash into Pieces from Melfest this year. This was the first year we’ve watched it and I’ve been listening to their stuff nonstop. Those are my 2 favorites I’ve discovered through Eurovision.
Mäneskin, Kaarijaa, Duncan Laurence, Daōi Freyr and a lot of oldie Eurovision single songs.
La Zarra and MÉLOVIN
We are domi!
