Last Dreamer

# 95. Twiins - I'm Still Alive (Slovakia - 2011) 6OUulUX7_hE Slovak twin pop duo consisting of sisters Daniela and Veronika Nizlova became the first winners from Eastern Europe in my yearly rankings with charming ballad "I'm Still Alive". After Twiins' success already five other countries won for the first time. They were not the first pair of twin sisters on the Eurovision, in 1959 Alice and Ellen Kessler represented West Germany and in 1980 year French twin sisters Sophie and Magaly Gilles, represented Luxembourg with funny entry "Papa Pingouin". Interesting fact : In 2011 year my favourite song was "In Love For A While" from Switzerland, because Russians got TV translation of Ice Hockey World Championship quarterfinal instead the second Eurovision semifinal.

For me "Breathe" is the worst UK # 1 from 90s decade.

# 96. Daria Kinzer - Celebrate (Croatia - 2011) wTJzolnObu0 Iconic Eurovision entry !!! There's nothing else I can say. :) Interesting fact : Daria Kinzer also recorded Russian language version "Лунный свет" ("Moonlight"). Uw0RSM_1VFo

# 97. Julia Savicheva - Believe Me (Russia - 2004) Cs76CYGjfIs "Believe Me" is the one of three songs, which were added in all-time top 100 in comparison with the original countdown from 2019 year. Interesting fact : Julia Savicheva was only 17 years old, when she represented Russia in Eurovision 2004.

From the mentioned songs only Kylie.

# 98. Gina G - Ooh Aah... Just A Little Bit (United Kingdom - 1996) UgN-pI1rA0E It's rare song from this countdown, which loved by Eurovision fans. In my yearly rankings Gina G brought 10th win for United Kingdom. Some weeks after Gina's flop on the contest Europeans did the opposite choice - the winning song "The Voice" had very poor sales and even didn't reach the top position in Irish chart. "Ooh Aah... Just A Little Bit" became a big hit and was top 10 hit in the most European countries. Interesting fact : "Ooh Aah... Just a Little Bit" became # 1 in UK only on the 8th week in chart, the day after Gina's performance at Eurovision.

# 99. Katrina and The Waves - Love Shine A Light (United Kingdom - 1997) NnoikRec67k At # 99 we meet very good and the signature Eurovision winner. United Kingdom got their 5th and the last win on this moment of time (Who could predict it in 1997 ?) with a big points margin over the second place. "Love Shine A Light" was peaked only at # 3 in UK singles chart, it's the lowest peak position from all British winners. It's the first from many British entries in this countdown and some other tracks could have a good chances, if this ranking will be expanded to 150 positions. Interesting fact : My favourite their song "Lovely Lindsey" spent one week on the top of my retrospective 1986 chart.

# 100. Iris - Would You ? (Belgium - 2012) 7Z_5s5gnrCM Interesting fact : The semifinals were introduced in 2004 year and became the irresistible barrier for the most my favourites, but only in 2012 all songs from my top 3 didn't qualified into the final show.
