The UK's favourite UK Eurovision entries



Ken Bruce is broadcasting his Radio2 show from Malmö this morning, from 09:30-12:00 BST. He'll be revealing the top ten UK Eurovision entries, as voted for on the Radio2 website recently.

Unfortunately, the vote wasn't open long enough for slowcoaches like me, so my vote for Bardo hasn't counted, and they've ended up at number 11. Ken counted down (and played) numbers 20-11 earlier this week, and here they are. The top ten must surely include our four missing winners; Sandie Shaw, Katrina & The Waves, Buck's Fizz (probably the #1) and Brotherhood Of Man. The other one, Lula, has already been played, at number 12.

The other six, I would guess, will include Jessica Garlick, Gina G, Frances Ruffelle, Kathy Kirby, Olivia Newton-John, Cliff Richard, Cliff Richard again, Pearl Carr & Teddy Johnson, Clodagh Rodgers, Lynsey de Paul & Mike Moran and The New Seekers. Oh, hang on, there's not room for all of them. And what about Nicki French? Drama!


11 One Step Further - Bardo (1982, 7th/18)

12 Boom Bang-A-Bang - Lulu (1969, =1st/16)

13 Are You Sure? - The Allisons (1961, 2nd/16)

14 It's My Time - Jade Ewen (2009, 5th/25)

15 Let Me Be The One - The Shadows (1975, 2nd/19)

16 Better The Devil You Know - Sonia (1993, 2nd/25)

17 Teenage Life - Daz Sampson (2006, 19th/24)

18 Knock, knock, who's there? - Mary Hopkin (1970, 2nd/12)

19 Where Are You? - Imaani (1998, 2nd/25)

20 Love Will Set You Free - Engelbert Humperdinck (2012, 25th/26)
