Eurovision: Every UK Eurovision Song Contest entry ever
Who came before Olly Alexander?
The UK has a long history with the Eurovision Song Contest – winning five times and placing second a record 16 times. But, despite also claiming the record for the longest string of top 5 placings, we've had more than our share of ups and downs. Not to mention those dreaded 'nul points.'
UK Eurovision entrants have produced a range of chart-toppers, launched acts internationally and even spawned a million-selling single in the form of Brotherhood of Man's Save Your Kisses for Me.
So, while some of our brave Eurovision soldiers may wish to put this particular trauma behind them, we honour each and every one of them in our roll call of every single UK Eurovision competitor ever; from our first showing in 1957 to the present day.
For 2024, former Years & Years frontman Olly Alexander has been selected to represent the United Kingdom with Danny L. Harle co-write and production Dizzy. And he has some big shoes to fill - following Sam Ryder's astronomical success in 2022 with SPACE MAN (2) and Mae Muller's 2023 Top 10 track I Wrote A Song (9).
