Sunday 17th May, 2-4am (strange time so an I-player job for many I think!)

Ken counts down the Top 40 Eurovision winners as voted by Radio 2 listeners.


Can't for the life of me understand why this isn't on in the daytime.

Really hope rock n roll kids makes the top 40 and does well.

My top 5 winners in no particular order.

Ding-A-Dong - Teach In - 1975
Hallelujah - Milk & Honey - 1979
A Little Peace - Nicole - 1982
Making Your Mind Up - Bucks Fizz - 1981
All Kinds Of Everything - Dana - 1970

My favourite has to be Sertab Erener - Every Way That I Can from 2003. I was a big fan of it at the time and it is one of the more memorable winners.

No scope for it in the schedule really. Though maybe it would’ve made more sense to be a part of Rylan’s show on the Saturday as I know he’s doing a Eurovision themed show too.
I guess this is probably a BBC Sounds exclusive thing and they’re just airing it to fill an overnight gap in the schedule because that slot usually has repeats/BBC Sounds mixes anyway

I think it might be a repeat actually, they did this in 2015 it seems.

Oh right. Yes I vaguely remember it before. Maybe it's a repeat of that then.
