So, we now have all 37 songs for our Eurovision 2024, so now discussion naturally turns to the running order the songs will be performed in. Last year, it was revealed on 22nd March which means we're likely to find out the running order very soon.

Here are the Semi splits:

Second Half

Azerbaijan: Fahree feat. Ilkin Dovlatov - Özünlə apar
Finland: Windows95man - No Rules!
Iceland: Hera Björk - Scared of Heights
Luxembourg: Tali - Fighter
Moldova: Natalia Barbu - In the Middle
Portugal: Iolanda - Grito
Slovenia: Raiven - Veronika

Semi 2:

First Half:
Albania: Besa - Titan
Armenia: Ladaniva - Jako
Austria: Kaleen - We Will Rave
Czechia: Aiko - Pedestal
Denmark: Saba - Sand
Greece: Marina Satti - Zari

Semi 1:

01 Cyprus: Silia Kapsis - Liar
02 Ireland: Bambie Thug - Doomsday Blue
03 Ukraine: alyona alyona & Jerry Heil - Teresa & Maria
04 Lithuania: Silvester Belt - Luktelk
05 Poland: Luna - The Tower
06 Serbia: Teya Dora - Ramonda
07 Croatia: Baby Lasagna - Rim Tim Tagi Dim
08 Australia: Electric Fields - One Milkali (One Blood)
09 Iceland: Hera Björk - Scared of Heights
10 Portugal: Iolanda - Grito
11 Finland: Windows95man - No Rules!
12 Moldova: Natalia Barbu - In the Middle
13 Slovenia: Raiven - Veronika
14 Azerbaijan: Fahree feat. Ilkin Dovlatov - Özünlə apar
15 Luxembourg: Tali - Fighter

Finland feels like the natural closer here but I don't think they'll be awarded that treatment 2 years on the bounce. So I've stuck them in the 'Tattoo' slot, as they have a prop which may well take the longest to set up, from the staging we've seen so far. I've given the closing slot to Luxembourg instead, one of the only other uptempos and I think they'll want to throw them every possible chance of getting out of the semi so they stick around.

Cyprus feels like the natural "party starter without being too abrasive" opener. Picking the "death slot" was hard, but I've noticed in the last few years, they haven't handed it to a ballad in Semi 1, presumably wanting people to stick around without being switched off too quickly. Ireland feels disposable whilst still being a talking point, so I think that feels more fitting.

Semi 2:

01 Austria: Kaleen - We Will Rave
02 Czechia: Aiko - Pedestal
03 Denmark: Saba - Sand
04 Armenia: Ladaniva - Jako
05 Albania: Besa - Titan
06 Greece: Marina Satti - Zari
07 Malta: Sarah Bonnici - Loop
08 Switzerland: Nemo - The Code
09 Israel: Eden Golan - Hurricane
10 Estonia: 5miinust and Puuluup - (Nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi
11 San Marino: Megara - 11:11
12 Latvia: Dons - Hollow
13 Georgia: Nutsa Buzaladze - Firefighter
14 Norway: Gĺte - Ulveham
15 Netherlands: Joost Klein - Europapa
16 Belgium: Mustii - Before the Party's Over

This felt like a harder semi to predict, but We Will Rave feels like a Queen Of Kings type opener. The producers quite like a story being told in running order and I think this kicks off the semi with a statement of "we will party". A lot of uptempos to try and pace out here which isn't easy.

I've boxed Israel on as soon as possible to get that... over, which I'd imagine producers will want to do (and after a break, should they wish to boycott). San Marino in 11th, because, of course. And then, again, went for a message of a closer - we start with a rave and we end with... the party's over. Right after one of the most hyped party songs of the year.

As in, they wouldn’t be fussed if the song didn’t make it, or less so than Luktelk or Rim Tim Tagi Dim which fill that “keeping the energy” brief that I mentioned.

The second semi final is the stronger one (fewer average songs) but we're going to lose more great songs from semi 1 because there's so many of them in the first half.
