New music this week from an artist who has had more than a few name changes recently, and Eurovision royalty delivers your latest fan favourite! We also have “les triple play” pour vouz and a round up of the big Eurovision news stories from the past seven days…
France has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 64 times since its debut at the first contest in 1956. France is one of only seven countries to be present at the first contest, and has been absent from only two contests in its history, missing the 1974 and 1982 contests. Along with Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom, France is one of the “Big Five” countries that are automatically prequalified for the final, due to being the largest financial contributors to the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). France has won the contest five times.
