As well as being one of only two UK entries in 53 years of Eurovision (1956 & 1958 UK didn't take part) Andy Abraham along with Jemini are the only ones to finish last.

 

As for the UK chart - he has had the worst chart position of any UK entry in 19 years peaking at #67.

 

The last time this was worse was for the 1989 entry Why Do I Always Get It Wrong by Live Report.

 

In fact out of UK's 51 entries only 5 were worse for peak chart positon.

 

*1957 - Patricia Bredin - All - didn't chart (chart was only Top 20 then)

*1964 - I Love The Little Things - Matt Monro- didn't chart (chart was only Top 50 then)

1987 - Rikki - Only The Light - peaked at #96

1988 - Scott Fitzgerald - Go - failed to chart

1989 - Live Report - Why Do I Always Get It Wrong - peaked at #73

 

*Those in bold can't be counted as the chart was less than Top 75 then

How is he the only one to finish last? Jemini anyone?

There is a reason for this which is clearly simple :mellow: the song was $h!t

As for the UK chart - he has had the worst chart position of any UK entry in 19 years peaking at #67.

 

So, I guess by Wogan's standards, this makes the record-buying public in this country a bunch of racists innit.... -_-

 

And I suppose the voters of ESC are "Puppet-ist" as well for knocking out Ireland's Desmond the turkey in the qualifying stages.....

 

I'm surprised Scott Fitzgerald failed to chart. He lost out by one point to Celine Dion! :arrr: Biatchhh.

Why was there a sudden Eurovision chart failure in the late 80s in the UK? :o

I hope next year we send a good song that charts well...Daz and Scooch's top ten chart positions seemed to have renewed British interest in the competition

I hope Andy hasn't killed the interest! :manson:

I do think, had the compilation been on iTunes, Dima and Ani Lorak would have both made the top 75 this week too with an outside chance for Maria H-S

I don't think Dima would've tbh. We didn't give him anything in our voting did we? :unsure: Had Eurobandið been on there, I think they might've though! :lol:

just the fact that he won would have ensured a fair few sales...even Marija Serifovic got into our top 200, though I can't remember where...and we didn't give Molitva any points

Oh did it? I can't remember seeing that anywhere in the charts. I did see 'Never Let You Go' floating around the top 100 in the Swedish iTunes chart too. Can't understand why the ESC CD wasn't on iTunes this year after the success it had last year...

Apple didn't buy the rights or something? Fools.

Marija got to #112
