Austria, Germany and Switzerland bringing songs with very different vibes but each of the three are set to slay in my rankings. First DACH joint slay since 2018 for me, here's hoping Nemo's win has inspired the region to a new slay era 💜

My 2¢ on the Kant affair - words only have the power that we give them. So many women and queer folk are reclaiming the word cunt as something positive, like in the context of the song here. To say it's never appropriate and always a slur gets in the way of that reclaiming effort.

For real, I mean I am a very big fan of Balkans at ESC usually but in that year I got an entire Balkan top 4 🇷🇸🇲🇰🇧🇦🇸🇮 and all the others are like top 15. Immaculate set of entries

we're two months through 2025 almost - where did that go! and here are my top 30 most streamed songs so far 💜

this season peaked with zjerm and then has been quite cursed for me ever since 😭 praying for the internals

Recently finished rewatching the last 10 Eesti Lauls, and here are my top fifty songs from that period. Estonia shóúld be such a powerhouse, a shame so many years the actual esc pick was a choice®

what even is tommy cash up to at this point? already exhausted by this saga and it's barely started

For years, I've kept track of my most played track over the past 365 days and today it's changed to none other than Zjerm 🔥🇦🇱 💜 Made of by Goldielocks is hot on its heels though so I'm curious to see how long the reign will be!

Disappointed that it was close but no cigar for Lusterka - such a distinctive vibe musically, and bringing a regional language from Poland for the first time ever would have been incredible. Would have been my fav Polish entry since, ironically, Sama. But Gaja is still high this year for me

I've at least liked, mostly loved, almost all Italian entries since they returned and nonetheless Quando sarai piccola would contend for being my favourite of the whole bunch. It exists beyond time and is just so deeply moving and sincere. I hope so much that Cristicchi says yes to ESC if he wins 💜

hey there folks, here's the latest music video i made for eurovisn't! it's about going home to see your family at christmas and other special moments, being glad you're welcome as something of a prodigal child, but wishing you could be there fully as yourself 🏳️‍⚧️💜 www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJ0Y...

I hear that Jerry Heil is interested in returning to Eurovision and I'm thrilled! I think she definitely has what it takes to turn bronze into gold

My top NF songs of the year so far (pre-sanremo) 🇦🇱 Zjerm 🇲🇪 To ljubav je 🇫🇮 Made of 🇵🇹 Adamastor 🇮🇹 Cielo aperto 🇱🇻 Sadzejot 🇵🇹 Ai senhor! 🇮🇹 La nostra malinconia 🇵🇹 Quem foi? 🇵🇹 Rapsódia da paz 🇬🇷 Asteromata 🇺🇦 Sil 🇵🇱 Lusterka 🇵🇹 Lisboa 🇵🇹 Responso á mulher

my top 12... so far not a vintage year for me, I adore Zjerm, really like Asteromata and enjoy a few others but I really hope the next week will add at least another song I love. After the last two nights, it's mourning Made of, Sadzejot, Heaven Sent, Fire/Powerplay and Sil' hours at Aviera HQ!

hey folks, it's been a while since my last cover - I thought, with UMK just around the corner, I would do a wee acoustic rendition of my huge fave from it. Made of by Goldielocks - one of my most streamed songs by far this year, really hope she wins 💜 www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXpH...

The songs voted top 3 of my most recent nf! 3 diff styles and inspos: idolising a place only to get a bad welcome, about seasonal depression and trying to be optimistic for the summer, and about wanting to be able to be yourself with your family w/o losing them💜 www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

My most listened to songs of January 🇫🇮🇪🇸🇦🇱🇪🇸🇺🇸🇮🇪🇺🇸🇨🇱🇱🇻🇪🇸🇨🇦🇬🇺 This normally in January would be 80% nf songs from this season but the vibes are a bit off this year for me! Made of and Zjerm are doing the heavy lifting

Kuve, Xeinn, Ömana, Mawot, Noan. Every year in BF there's stage names that have no connection + seem extraterrestrial and you wonder where they came from, what the lore is. If you told me next year the artists are Zuüko, Latxokit, Memhejô, Shppinman, Kå, Poki Mbūmba and Der Kynkipoff, i'd believe it

Little known bit of Aviera lore is that the first ever music of my own that I made was country/Americana... I still love that style and it can speak to my heart so much. Here's a stunning country song from Willow Avalon that really moved me 💜 www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_tE...

Some old friends and I share a spreadsheet for ranking ALL nf songs. Here's our current top 10: 01 🇦🇱 Zjerm 02 🇵🇹 Adamastor 03 🇵🇹 Rapsódia da paz 04 🇵🇹 Deslocado 05 🇵🇱 Lusterka 06 🇵🇹 Quem foi 07 🇵🇹 Ai, senhor! 08 🇺🇦 Sil 09 🇲🇪 To ljubav je 10 🇵🇹 Responso à mulher The sheer impact of FdC taking SIX slots! 💜🇵🇹

My average rating this year in NFs: 🇵🇹 68.1 🇮🇹 59.8(Giovani) 🇲🇪 58.4 🇫🇮 56.7 🇺🇦 54.5 🇭🇷 51.9 🇵🇱 50.9 🇮🇪 50.7 🇪🇪 49.6 🇦🇱 48.9 🇱🇻 45.7 🇬🇷 45.0 🇱🇹 44.9 🇮🇸 43.3 🇲🇹 42.1 🇪🇸 37.8 🇱🇺 31.3 🇳🇴 25.8 Thanks to FdC for always being dependable. Otherwise, one of the most disappointing nf years since I've been following so far

I'm so torn about SVK's presentation of Icelandic versions in the semis and free choice in the finals. On the one hand, without it we wouldn't have as much beautiful Icelandic to listen to. On the other hand, getting the English version almost always in the end feels usually like a downgrade to me

Iceland.. really dipped unfortunately! I hope it's a one-off because Söngva is usually lowkey a highlight nf. There's still a few nice options though!

Dreamt last night that I was in Latvia at a ESC-connected contest where all the artists who got second place in their nfs were invited to compete with their songs. Kur had won the year before 💜 This show attracted a lot of fan drama about whether second places should've won as you can imagine 😭

Rewatching 1966 and starting off with the gorgeous Die Zeiger der Uhr. One of a couple of candidates for my fav of the year, such a gorgeous melancholy song but one with hope at its heart. Margot really gives an understated but mesmerising performance, too.

Late night DORA listenings have resumed and here are the Aviera HQ ratings. It's a very mixed field but it's nice to see Croatia taking a handful of risks and incorporating different genres. I would live for them sending rap or some folk-rock! 💜

It's been around 3.5 years since Eurovisn't began! Every year we have our own version of the ESC250, and here's a recap I made for it with (almost) all the songs I've sent to the contest that got me sharing my songwriting with others for the first time in ages💜 www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkNH...

New picrew and current on repeat!

Am in Italy atm and it's never not a delight to be constantly hearing Sanremo songs - not just of 2024 but of various other years. Today alone I've heard Glicine, Un milione di cose da dirte and Tuta gold

My most streamed artist of each month 💜 Dec 🇦🇱 Shkodra Elektronike Nov 🇬🇺 Microchild Oct 🇺🇸 Chappell Roan Sep 🇺🇸 Chappell Roan Aug 🇺🇸 Taylor Swift Jul 🇨🇦 The Beaches Jun 🇨🇴 Kali Uchis May 🇮🇹 Mahmood Apr 🇺🇸 Taylor Swift Mar 🇬🇷 Marina Satti Feb 🇮🇹 Angelina Mango Jan 🇮🇪 Bambie Thug

My most streamed song each month of 2024 💜 Dec 🇦🇱 Zjerm Nov 🇬🇺 Maloffan i pakyo Oct 🇺🇸 Hot to go Sep 🇸🇪 The lesser evil is me Aug 🇨🇦 Blame Brett Jul 🇺🇸 Salad Jun 🇨🇴 Telepatía May 🇮🇪 Doomsday Blue Apr 🇮🇪 Doomsday Blue Mar 🇬🇷 Zari Feb 🇮🇹 La noia Jan 🇫🇮 Kuori mua

My guess for my top 10 in 2025, curious to see how close I get! 🇦🇱 Zjerm 😍 🇷🇸🇮🇹🇵🇹🇺🇦 Strong form and nfs 🇮🇪 Praying for momentum after Bambie 🇬🇷 Same but Marina 🇧🇪 Strongly hyped NF this year 🇮🇸🇸🇮 Perennially making it in

So happy Gavin and Stacey ended the way it did 💜

First profile pic change of mine since 2021! Beatriçe Gjergji and Zjerm victory are just THAT major for me. Honestly made my month

I haven't needed a song to get to Eurovision this much since In corpore sano. If Zjerm actually makes it, imma start believing in Christmas miracles

My ranking of the Eesti Laul wildcard. They really done goofed with this format instead of having two semis and a final, because multiple songs here are head and shoulders above a good half of the actual finalists for me. Absolutely enchanted by Südamés and Sound of pines..

Hey folks, just finished my first refresh in a year of the Aviera 500 - my biig playlist of the my most listened songs of all time. A lot of Eurovision and nf faves but also a lot of other things too 💜 open.spotify.com/playlist/3sE...
