Eurovision 2023 effect: Mae Muller, Loreen and more track for UK Top 40
Four Eurovision anthems look to make their mark on the Official Singles Chart this week
Following last weekend's big Eurovision Song Contest grand final at Liverpool's M&S Bank Arena, a host of entries are set to make their mark on the Official Singles Chart.
Currently leading the charge from this year's pack is the UK's Mae Muller who, despite a disappointing result at the contest (spoiler alert: we came second to last), could score her first-ever Top 10 single this week with I Wrote A Song.
The track, co-written by Mae, Karen Poole of Alisha's Attic and Lewis Thompson, currently tracks to climb 39 to reach a new peak of Number 6, having previously debuted at Number 30 upon its release in March.

Elsewhere, Swedish 2023 winner Loreen could see Tattoo become her second UK Top 10 hit (9). The first and only female ever to have taken home the Eurovision trophy twice, Loreen previously enjoyed success with 2012 entry Eurphoria (3).
Norway's Alessandra, who placed fifth in last weekend's show-stopping final, looks set to claim her first-ever UK Top 40 hit with Queen of Kings. The power ballad behemoth currently sits at Number 18 in today's update.

So happy for Mae, Loreen who deserved to be the 2023 winner of the ESC and ALESSANDRA who was my 2nd favorite but surprised to see the awful KAARIJA maybe making the Top 30!! and i cannot believe he almost won the contest: thanks God he didn't!!

It must really annoy you that Käärijä was the runaway winner of the public vote, and under any fair voting system would have won by a landslide. Sorry about that I guess

But the public loved him hence he won the public vote. They cant all be wrong
