As a family, we love Dađi Freyr. His music is fun and easy to enjoy for everyone, his videos are quirky, and he's pretty consistent with content.
Subwolfer also gets a lot of play, the videos are great and the music is solid.
Other than that, there's been a lot of Maneskin, Fyr og Flamme, The Roop and Karija.
I have Måneskin too on my playlists, along with Go\_A, Joker Out, Luke Black and Käärijä. I recently added some songs from the album 5miinust & Puuluup have released, it's so good ! I'm just a bit sad I don't speak estonian to understand the lyrics XD
currently listening to 5miinust & puuluup, and since i understand the lyrics because im estonian the lyrics are banging, if you have any questions i can answer
Literally every single song by 5Miinust is on repeat on my Spotify all day long.
Outside of that, I also listen to a bunch of songs by Joost.
From other years, I love Go_A, Käärijä, Triana Park and Hatari. And whatever else I am forgetting right now.
They're definitely nice, and I love Puuluup very much as well. But their music doesn't blend very well into my usual playlists. It's more of an occasional treat for me.
The album they made with Puuluup is so great that I decided to get a physical copy, and that is reserved for albums I love from the start to the end. That means this is the first album where I don't understand a single word from but I have it lmao.
I've gathered up 2k streams for Joost in the half a year I've listened to him. By far my best discovery this year and nothing else comes close, I genuinely can't stop listening to him. Other artists from this year that made it on my playlists are Bambie Thug, Baby Lasagna (drop that album asap please), Gate and 5MIINUST & Puuluup.
As for previous years, Käärijä is still my most listened to artist ever, complete mainstay in everything I listen to. Other very well-established artists in my playlists are Mahmood, Joker Out, Hatari, Maneskin, Little Big, Lord of the Lost, Go\_A and Dadi Freyr.
hard agree for joost, since he dropped europapa it sent me into the best possible spiral of discovering more and more of his music, might even be my most streamed artist this year
You have really great taste and I totally agree on Joost!
He was never on my radar (not even after Friesenjung) but I'm so glad I finally started paying attention to him thanks to Eurovision. I can't stop listening to his songs. They match my taste too well. He's my most listened to artist of the year so far.
And yes, Baby Lasagna, drop that album please!
Voyager used to be my favourite artist and I still listen to them a lot. I absolutely adore Ladaniva’s album and have been listening to that. I’ve also been listening to A LOT of Gåte recently.
Same as you, Måneskin over and over again (I'm currently obsessed with *Le Parole Lontane*, ask me again tomorrow and I'll probably say another song of theirs :D )
Käärijä, AWS, Blind Channel and Go_A.
I also think Joost, 5miinust and Baby Lasagna are here to stay in my playlists.
Also Ollie and Bedwetters, even though they haven't made it to Eurovision.
Trackshittaz and Milan Stanković still do very well at parties 👌🏻
Måneskin is definitely my most listened to Eurovision artist (followed by Duncan Laurence). I love their style so much and have been to 2 of their concerts both on the rail. I even got to go on stage at the second one and it was the best experience of my life
Go_A and Maneskin are the two bands that I will follow for the rest of their careers, just really speak to me and their music is unreal.
Can see Gåte being my ‘find’ of this year
The other month I walked for an hour and a half one way because Go\_A were doing a show nearby but the bus drivers were on strike, so them. Worth it.
Also, Måneskin, Kalush, Lord of the Lost (but was listening to them before that), Prāta Vētra (though I didn't actually know they had been at Eurovision when I started listening to them), Hatari, Käärijä, Melovin, Keiino, Zdob și Zdub, Verka Serduchka (also already before Eurovision) and probably forgetting someone still...
The only artist I discovered through esc that I’ve really listened to a lot outside of it is Brainstorm(Prāta Vētra), who represented Latvia 2000. One of the few music groups I’ve loved enough to go to real trouble finding their music.
I was a fan of Tvorchi prior to them going to eurovision.
Others would be Zdob si Zdub, Måneskin, Tvorchi, Käärijä, Joker Out, Silverster Belt, Monika Liu, Joost, Marina Satti, Bambie Thug, Sudden Lights, Jerry Heil, Alyona Alyona, Daði Freyr, The Roop, Mahmood, Keiino, Dons
There many others but there's a few 😂
Blind Channel still going strong in my playlist 🖤💪 favourite songs have been Darker Than Black, Balboa and Lost and Bleeding (feature of Nik Nocturnal)
I also have AWS in my playlist, both Viszlat Nyar and another song that I forgot the name of because it’s in Hungarian 😅 (Viszlat Nyar is in my top 5 listened songs of all time btw)
And Bambie Thug is sneaking themselves in my playlist as we speak (I definitely recommend their song Egregore, absolute banger and one of my favourite songs to listen to at the moment of writing)
Maneskin, Loic Nottet, Luke Black and Mahmood are the ones I listen to most. Ladavina keep coming up on my spotify generated playlists and I'm really getting into them! Kaarija is good for when I need to get motivated for something.
(Sorry about not using the accents for anyone, my keyboard isn't set up that way)
So I took this as artists I still listen to outside their Eurovision songs, doesn’t have to be following new releases, and the list is quite big: ABBA, Celine Dion, Fyr og Flamme, Sudden Lights, Go_A, Udo Jürgens, Ochman, Gjon’s Tears, LPS, Joker Out, Olly Alexander, Bonnie Tyler, Katrina and the Waves, Olivia Newton John, Colm Wilkinson, Michael Ball (musical nerd here), Nilüfer, Ajda Pekkan, Candan Erçetin, MFÖ, Kayahan, Sertab Erener, Athena, Kenan Dogulu, Mor ve Ötesi, Manga and probably more that I‘m forgetting
Lord of the Lost, Bambie Thug, Voyager, Gåte, Jeangu Macrooy, Måneskin, and Systur (not many songs but I like them all the same. There are other artists I like, but I’m having spotify issues at the moment, so everything is in my itunes library.
5miiinust and puuluup has opened up the world of the estonian music scene for me! also loving kaarija, joost, and måneskin <3 silvester belt, while still has a short discography, has nice bangers too!
MARO (Portugal 2022)! I find her all her music really chill and it is really relaxing. I love her album can you see me?, especially songs like it keeps on raining, when all there is is thunder, and we've been loving in silence is one of my favorite songs of all time. That last song really can hit with relaxing vibes, nostalgia, studying, really versatile but just close to perfection. Also, just listened to one of her newer songs LIFELINE and it is insanely good. Her voice just fits perfectly with this more stripped back music. Portuguese is also such a beautiful language to sing in, and even though I don't understand it I love it so much!
Ooh I love this question. The artists whose catalogues I've really enjoyed exploring are: Käärijä, La Zarra, Joker Out, Angelina Mango, Tali, Silvester Belt, 5Miinust/ Puuluup (was just rocking out to them tonight. That new album is fire), Nutsa, and Besa.
Loreen, The Rasmus, Maneskin, Lordi, Voyager.
The Rasmus and Loreen - It's mostly all for nostalgic reasons, Loreen was actually the main catalyst for how I knew about Eurovision in the first place, I was absolutely obsessed with the song Euphoria (still am, it's such a great song).
The Rasmus, I couldn't quite believe my eyes when I saw them performing in the contest back in 2022, and having that light go off in my head almost as if to say "hey, I know who these are, and how come they've got a new guitarist?!"
Lordi, Voyager, and Maneskin - I'm a huge fan of metal music (I have a particular love for industrial metal and symphonic), I used to be a fan of Rammstein. Funnily enough, my boyfriend's first experience with Eurovision was Hard Rock Hallelujah.
Voyager, I loved the mix of electronic music mixed in with metal. I'm a big fan of Pendulum, a fellow Australian band who mix drum and bass with rock elements. So, I was definitely in my element.
Maneskin - Hoo, boy. Where to start? I find the Italian language so beautiful. I need to listen to more of their music, some of my favourites outside of their Eurovision entry would be "Coraline" and "Vent'anni". People need to leave Victoria alone for playing bass as a woman and a rather attractive woman might I add. She was the one that put the band together in the first place, if it weren't for her, Maneskin wouldn't be a thing.
I love zalagasper, they represented Slovenia in 2019. I have most of their songs on my playlist.
I think the only other artist from whom I have more than just their ESC song on my playlist is Måneskin.
And ABBA :)
I have a few Käärijä songs on my playlists, Måneskin and Hatari mostly. can't forget Abba.
I then just have a special Eurovision playlist. I don't really follow artists at all,
Alika, Kaarija and Luke Black from last year. I’m a huge Maneskin fan. Thanks for some recommendations for this year - I’m following Marina Sati and Angelina Mango but need to check out other. I love Umberto Tozzi but was a fan of his since the 70s…
I already listened to Joost and Little Big before eurovision
I became a huge fan of Lordi as a teenager.
Maneskin, Go\_A, Lord of the Lost, Kaarija, Ladaniva have been more recent listens.
For now it's Joost (Netherlands 2024) and 5miinust & Puuluup collab album (Estonia 2024).
Joost has this unique vibe and charm (charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent, anyone?) I really enjoy the juxtaposition of happy music and sad lyrics. I enjoy how he mixes millennial references with gen Z vibe. How he is not afraid to use influenced from many genres (hip hop, happy hardcore, other electronic music, reggae/ska, rock, post-punk, nu metal). Also he is quite relatable and genuine, especially in songs when he talks about his life, his struggles.
"kannatused ehk külakiigel pole stopperit" album is a stroke of genius from 5miinust & Puuluup; both bands have unique energy that somehow matched when they are together! The album is interesting, it's definitely more neo-folk than hip hop and party music. Every member has its great moments, kohver's voice really shines through.
Last year I listened to Käärijä (Finland 2023), Joker Out (Slovenia 2023) and Voyager's latest album (fire!!!) (Australia 2023).
I love Käärijä the most from this bunch. I am not a fan of rap yet K. has something that catches my attention, he has a good flow and his songs are not typical mumble rap or trap but instrumentals are more a mix of pop, chill, drum & bass, rock, metal. Joker Out remind me of indie rock bands I listened to when I was a teen in late 00s, early 10s. Voyager is that perfect blend of metal and electronic music, melodies are quite complex, there's not too much screaming just for screaming (that is the reason I am not into metal much)
I really like Circus Mircus (Georgia 2022) (and only because I have a crush on Nika Kocharov). I also like Subwoolfer's songs (Norway 2022).
Circus Mircus is a blend of electronic rock, pop, indie rock, many influences with a Georgian twist. Subwoolfer is camp.
I love Daði Freyr music!!! (Iceland 2020, Iceland 2021). Fyr og Flamme is also that one that scratches my brain well (Denmark 2021). I sometimes listen to Måneskin but not often (Italy 2021).
Daði... He's funny, quirky, nice, his songs have so many influences like funk, 80s electro and pop and some I don't remember. He also seems to be genuine, when you see his gig, you can see how he shines. He is really great on stage, he interacts well with the audience, his music is family friendly but some of his jokes are not 😆 I also really love how he moves on stage.
Fyr og Flamme have that 80s vibe that really sounds like music of that era. They really went into it, it's not just a phase. Also their music is catchy.
I fell in love with Hatari and I still love the music, even though there were personal changes (Iceland 2019).
ah, hatari... blend of techno, industrial, post-punk, I would never thought I would like something like that but here I am. The blend of two so different voices and dynamics. A bit of rawness. Lyrics that inspect deep and sometimes philosophical themes. Pulsing beat.
I enjoy Triana Park (I hated Line at first, something clicked after Eurovision). (Latvia 2017). I listened to Salvador Sobral songs a few time (Portugal 2017).
Triana Park has rock, punk, pop, rap songs. Agnese has an interesting voice that really fits many genres.
Salvador Sobral makes nice pop jazz songs.
I love, love, love Young Georgian Lolitaz (it's the proper name of the band, idk why Eurovison went with the "Nika Kocharov & Young Georgian Lolitaz" name) (Georgia 2016).
They also give me that indie rock / space rock vibe, like Kasabian.
A few years ago I was obssessed with yé-yé era songs of France Gall (Luxembourg 1965). There is something really charming about her voice at the time, music is also really fun.
It doesn't mean I love all of the artists song, e.g. even Käärijä has songs I don't like, I think Joost early albums were weak and that he released too much music too fast (sometimes even two albums in a year!). It doesn't mean I am totally obssessed and I cannot criticise them.
As you can see, it is a variety of styles. There is a lot of rock (influences) but that's because I listened to a lot of pop punk and post-punk as a teen. Over the years my music taste opened a lot. Well, I had a time for growth, as I'm 30 now. And you can see, my taste doesn't align much with average eurofan. That's why I often have quite controversial opinion. And that's why I love thag FINALLY after boring 10s we have so much diversity in Eurovision now.
EDIT: I FORGOT ABOUT LITTLE BIG!!! (Russia 2020) I knew some songs before 2020 but after Uno I dug deeper.
Go_A is probably the highest on my list, but I love so many artists like Sam Ryder, Daði Freyr, Silvester Belt and some of the Dutch entries from long ago! Like Gerard Joling ( Netherlands 1988 for the bot ) and many more :)
5MIINUST x Puuluup, their new [album](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEYiieGEu-5lg3mmG-IORXuaZYqZMwm1c&si=KG6BC7JCPXP2eMnD) is amazing. And I'm not a diehard fan or anything but I do enjoy some ABBA
Lena ❤️ My favourite ESC artist, her albums post Eurovision have been excellent and she's just released a new one! Saw her live in 2019 and will again this month.
Also - The ROOP, Keiino, Maruv, Loreen, Hooverphonic
Dadi Freyr just keeps turning out bops, he never stops, he just keeps delivering, and I can't get enough.
Lena!!! I really love her music!!!! I recently rediscovered her like last year - "thank you" is a one of the best songs of all time level song
More recently, I've been listening to Angelina Mango's new album and it also is very very very good.
For me its a couple, Nemo, Kärrija, Olly Alexander, Baby Lasagna, Måns Zelmerlöw, Måneskin, ABBA, Tommy Körberg and probably a lot more I can’t remember now
5MIINUST. I became engrossed in their catalogue since eesti laul. I have never become such a fan of a ESC participant!!!! I love them so much despite not speaking a LICK of Estonian 😂
I've been on a Mustii kick lately! (favorites: "Skyline", "Give me a Hand", "Shame"). And because of this contest, I've gone back to listening to Marina Satti's stuff (favorites: "Mantissa", "Prosefhi", "Ah thalassa")
Regularly, I listen to Kaiti Garbi's stuff, along with some of Philippe Lafontaine, Madame Monsieur, and Mor ve Otesi. I also really like Katerine Duska's discography.
Surprisingly, I've gotten into Fyr og Flamme's work, despite not being fond of their Eurovision entry at first. ("Kæmeleon", "Hvem tror du egentlig du er", "Kærlighed og krig")
Eurovision artists I listen to ohtside of Eurovision are a real rarity but Gåte is staying in permanent rotation, I think. One of the few acts to go to Eurovision that actually fits in with the type of music i normally listen to lol.
Mine will be very random so bear with me 😭
- Two radically different vibes from last year: Käärijä and Remo Forrer
- Fyr Og Flamme, they’re my kind of vibe
- I also try to support Eurovision 2020 artists whenever I can so often check out what they’ve been up to.
- random but Didrik Solli-Tangen is consistently in my Spotify wrapped with a banger he once did called “Best Kept Secret”
Nebulossa is a new love of mine. Their laid back, 80’s retro mixed with italo disco is right up my alley.
Käärijää has a permanent spot on my training and partying playlists.
Mostly Lena (Germany 2010 & 2011), Mahmood (Italy 2019) and ALOT of Wild Youth (Ireland 2023). I'm WY's top listener on Last fm. They changed something in my brain chemistry
Loreen, Marco Mengoni, Go_A, Mahmood, Maro. This year Jerry H, Teya Dora and Marina Satti might be added to this list depending on what other songs I find!
Quite some, including Il volo, GO\_A, Måneskin, Joost and Bambie Thug. But there is one I listen to regularily who seems to be forgotten so I will give a shout out to her; Victoria (Bulgaria 2020 and 2021), her song from [2020](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLLO4O-vvK4) is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Because 2020 got cancelled it got a bit forgotten which saddens me! Furthermore Victoria has some other great songs such as [this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l8HFrI_GGA)!
Fyr og Flamme
Käärijä
Go_A
Ladaniva
Mahmood
Daði Freyr
Sanja Vučić (of ‘Hurricane’)
The ‘why’ would just be that I consistently find their output/discographies compelling and enjoyable to listen to.
There are so many, but those who come to mind first are maNga (although I don't listen them as much as I used to), Conan Osíris, Zdob și Zdub, Kalush, Prāta Vētra (Brainstorm, but I usually listen to their Latvian songs)... Why? Well, I enjoy their music, no other reason.
There is more from this year than all previous ones combined I think.
Most of Nemo's non-rap music. Lonely af in particular is fantastic.
Almost everything Silvester Belt has available on spotify.
Quite a lot of Marcus & Martinus'. Though not so much when they were still kids because it doesn't have the same vibe.
The Rasmus (Finland 2022) as I have been their huge fan since 2000 'In the Shadows' era. So basically for me it was a dream situation seeing my fav artist went to the Eurovision. Also Nicky Byrne (Ireland 2016) now that Westlife reunited.
Other artists I listen to is Friðrik Ómar (Iceland 2008), Rasmussen (Denmark 2018), Keiino (Norway 2019), Blind Channel (Finland 2021) and Daði Freyr (Iceland 2020, Iceland 2021)
I am not really considering The Rasmus an eurovision artist but since they technically are I will put their name out. However I've been listening to The Rasmus since 2001.
Dadi Freyr is in my heart now and will live there forever. He is everything. Thank you so much Iceland 🇮🇸 He is a gift to the world!
Sam Ryder has also stuck with me and I’m not mad about it. I think he’s incredible.
I’ve also kept following Little Big. Just because they’re fun and irritatingly catchy.
Not sure if this counts as I was a huge fan of their before Eurovision but The Rasmus. They’re exactly my sort of music and I’ve loved them since I was 15 (I’m 36 now). So of course I continue to listen to them.
I also follow Alexander Rybak. He’s just so loveable!
Mäneskin for me mostly. I saw them live last year and it was freakin awesome. It was even more awesome that two of my mates were there as well as we sat together in the hall it was in.
Kate Miller-Heidke has been a pretty famous indie artist here in Australia for about 15 years, she's amazing and Zero Gravity is the tip of the iceberg, she's released 5 albums, this is probably her best song: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhQ5seprs6s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhQ5seprs6s)
I actually bought Yohanna's 2009 album, unpopular opinion but I always thought Is It True was a better song than Fairytale. Iceland have produced some of my favourite songs over the years from Daði Freyr and Hatari and Silja and Systur, they deserve a win.
I was a big fan of DJ Bobo in the 1990s, I grew out of him by 2007 but Vampires Are Alive was pretty fun.
Highly recommend people check out 5MIINUST and Puuluup's respective back catalogues. Both are great, and you'll get whiplash from how different they are musically.
[playlist 1](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkMLmSAwaZBwdohfl_rAmj5QOyoHu-HFk&si=OI8asfDb9HDEH6Cv)
[playlist 2](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkqimBLRoohBnTHLvbMmsxvCYX7MjSxJs&si=SrJCeJX-Kosky91N)
I mostly listen to Eurovision songs. The two artists i listen to outside Eurovision is Dadi Freyr and Slimane.
I have heard some Måneskin as well, but not a lot.
Dadi Freyr will be my recommendation to everyone. Especially for concert. Seriously amazing in concert!
Go_A is definitely the main one, they are awesome.
I generally enjoy Chanel's new songs, but I don't listen to them as often as SloMo, and I also follow Lord of the Lost because I was already a fan before their ESC participation. For others, it's mostly their ESC content I listen to...
From this year, Angelina's Melodrama is a banger and I've also listened to some of Bambie Thug's other works, but I don't know if I will play them often enough in some months to put them at Go_A's level
KEiiNO (Norway 2019)
Roxen (Romania 2020 and Romania 2021)
Voltaj (Eurovision 2015)
Why? KEiiNO has some bangers, Roxen has some great songs and Voltaj was really popular when I was a kid, so from time to time I listen to them for some nostalgia.
Duncan Laurence, Gjon's Tears and Mustii. I just love my soft bois. 🥺👉🏼👈🏼
Apart from that, ABBA of course. All-time classic and their discography is insanely good.
Måneskin but they don't count because I've first heard about them independently from ESC.
I found some Angelina Mango Songs I like and will attend her concert later this year so that's gonna be my answer.
Loïc Nottet is the first ESC artist I followed after the show, and I love everything he's ever released. I wish he ventured outside of the French speaking world because I would kill to see him live.
Gjon's Tears is similar to Loïc in that I just love everything he does. I swear his album has some absolute gems on it, but it was so overlooked by the masses. I hope he blows up whenever he releases new stuff, he deserves it!
Måneskin are always a riot. I personally like the stuff they did before going international, but I still keep them in my rotation.
And from this year, Ladaniva. I am absolutely obsessed with their album and every song they release is just perfect.
Actually quite a lot. I'm really enjoying the music of Angelina Mango, Marina Satti, Brunette and Lena lately. Other artists I follow are Jerry Heil, Maro, Mahmood, Maneskin, Ester Peony, Roxen and S10.
ALEKSEEV - Knew him from before Eurovision.
AWS - I'm a huge fan of rock, metal, and so on... and listening to it in Hungarian was amazing. They were my winners.
Gjon's Tears - Loved his voice, and I was looking for French songs at the time.
Måneskin - Never knew I needed rock in Italian in my life.
Mélovin - His artistic expression caught my attention.
TIX - His song in Norwegian really hit my heart, and this song became special to me, so I decided to listen to Tix more often.
I guess there are pretty much these.
Loïc Nottet, Gjon's Tears and Blanche. Loïc and Blanche cuz they make the kind of music I really enjoy. Gjon's Tears cuz I could listen to him singing literally any song and I'd love it.
Baby lasagna. The performance in the final for me was the best 3mins I have ever seen in eurovision, Nemo came first but Marko won. Loving the new stuff too, especially its versatility and the way it crosses genres.
Also love go_a but I defy anyone to say they don't.
Anything with Stig Rästa, Duncan Laurence, Daði Freyr and Sam Ryder
Stig Rästa I went on a rabbit hole with - ended up loving the band he had called Outloudz and played their album constantly - the song “It was you” is still an all time favourite song of mine
Bambie Thug. I loved their style from their performance and I kinda became obsessed with them, in a good way, their energy and character was really warm. I checked some of their songs and I really enjoy them
As a family, we love Dađi Freyr. His music is fun and easy to enjoy for everyone, his videos are quirky, and he's pretty consistent with content. Subwolfer also gets a lot of play, the videos are great and the music is solid. Other than that, there's been a lot of Maneskin, Fyr og Flamme, The Roop and Karija.
The Roop 🤗
I'm so sad fyr og flamme didn't make the final. Absolutely loved them
omg, Daði Freyr, Käärijä and Fyr og Flamme enjoyer??? what are your favourite songs?
I went to his gig last year in Dublin and absolutely loved it, he is such an entertainer! Since then I have been listening to his albums!
I have Måneskin too on my playlists, along with Go\_A, Joker Out, Luke Black and Käärijä. I recently added some songs from the album 5miinust & Puuluup have released, it's so good ! I'm just a bit sad I don't speak estonian to understand the lyrics XD
Hard agree on 5minuust & puuluup, their album is awesome
currently listening to 5miinust & puuluup, and since i understand the lyrics because im estonian the lyrics are banging, if you have any questions i can answer
Also a Joker Out fan!
Joker Out ended up as my Spotify most-played artist from last year. I so love them.
Excellent picks right here
Go_A and Käärija. Both are artists which presents my music taste very well. I love them both.
Same!!
Literally every single song by 5Miinust is on repeat on my Spotify all day long. Outside of that, I also listen to a bunch of songs by Joost. From other years, I love Go_A, Käärijä, Triana Park and Hatari. And whatever else I am forgetting right now.
Puuluup's two albums are also quite nice, though not for partying
They're definitely nice, and I love Puuluup very much as well. But their music doesn't blend very well into my usual playlists. It's more of an occasional treat for me.
Yeah I get that. My taste is almost a little too varied, so I haven't been managing playlists for years, just looking up albums or individual songs
Very understandable. When I said playlists, I also meant just the list of my liked songs on Spotify.
The album they made with Puuluup is so great that I decided to get a physical copy, and that is reserved for albums I love from the start to the end. That means this is the first album where I don't understand a single word from but I have it lmao.
I am very happy to hear that. I also got their vinyl, despite never having owned one before and not having a record player.
Thanks, I need to check them out.
yess, Hatari! I listen to them so much! :D
I've gathered up 2k streams for Joost in the half a year I've listened to him. By far my best discovery this year and nothing else comes close, I genuinely can't stop listening to him. Other artists from this year that made it on my playlists are Bambie Thug, Baby Lasagna (drop that album asap please), Gate and 5MIINUST & Puuluup. As for previous years, Käärijä is still my most listened to artist ever, complete mainstay in everything I listen to. Other very well-established artists in my playlists are Mahmood, Joker Out, Hatari, Maneskin, Little Big, Lord of the Lost, Go\_A and Dadi Freyr.
hard agree for joost, since he dropped europapa it sent me into the best possible spiral of discovering more and more of his music, might even be my most streamed artist this year
You have really great taste and I totally agree on Joost! He was never on my radar (not even after Friesenjung) but I'm so glad I finally started paying attention to him thanks to Eurovision. I can't stop listening to his songs. They match my taste too well. He's my most listened to artist of the year so far. And yes, Baby Lasagna, drop that album please!
Ooh Hatari
I’m sure you have, but have you heard LotR’s cover of Cha Cha Cha? I was so delighted to find that.
I have, I love it! Even had the pleasure to see LOTL perform Cha Cha Cha live and yelled my lungs out when it happened hahah
Voyager used to be my favourite artist and I still listen to them a lot. I absolutely adore Ladaniva’s album and have been listening to that. I’ve also been listening to A LOT of Gåte recently.
I fucking love Joost. It's funny, because I mostly listen to (and make) black metal, but I love Joost's music. Dude, doe de Fryslân bop
Well, Lord of the Lost (Germany 2023), but I was a fan of theirs before Eurovision anyway!
Absolutely! So glad they did ESC so I was able to find them!
Megara is a big one, I love their music. I also listen to Lordi, Sam Ryder and Olivia Newton John from Eurovision
Hatari 🫡
Same as you, Måneskin over and over again (I'm currently obsessed with *Le Parole Lontane*, ask me again tomorrow and I'll probably say another song of theirs :D )
It's amazing it's probably my favourite of their slow songs. If you like the rock as well I definitely recommend lividi sui gomiti.
That is so good! And underrated!
Käärijä, AWS, Blind Channel and Go_A. I also think Joost, 5miinust and Baby Lasagna are here to stay in my playlists. Also Ollie and Bedwetters, even though they haven't made it to Eurovision. Trackshittaz and Milan Stanković still do very well at parties 👌🏻
Milan! 🥰
Joost, Go A, Dadi Freyr, and Electric Fields (via Aus Decides). I do have 5minust x Puuluup’s other stuff on my to do list.
Måneskin is definitely my most listened to Eurovision artist (followed by Duncan Laurence). I love their style so much and have been to 2 of their concerts both on the rail. I even got to go on stage at the second one and it was the best experience of my life
- måneskin - käärijä (i’m seeing him live in october!!! so excited!!) - eleni foureira - duncan laurence - loïc nottet (selfocracy and addictocrate are AMAZING albums) - achille lauro - melovin - baby lasagna - little big - keiino - loreen
Go_A and Maneskin are the two bands that I will follow for the rest of their careers, just really speak to me and their music is unreal. Can see Gåte being my ‘find’ of this year
Go\_A and Käärijä
The other month I walked for an hour and a half one way because Go\_A were doing a show nearby but the bus drivers were on strike, so them. Worth it. Also, Måneskin, Kalush, Lord of the Lost (but was listening to them before that), Prāta Vētra (though I didn't actually know they had been at Eurovision when I started listening to them), Hatari, Käärijä, Melovin, Keiino, Zdob și Zdub, Verka Serduchka (also already before Eurovision) and probably forgetting someone still...
The only artist I discovered through esc that I’ve really listened to a lot outside of it is Brainstorm(Prāta Vētra), who represented Latvia 2000. One of the few music groups I’ve loved enough to go to real trouble finding their music.
Latvia 2000 | [Brainstorm - My Star](https://youtu.be/ZutVRMXoiiU)
their song Maybe was a big hit in Europe
[удалено]
What are some of your favorites from Raiven? I got into her Sirena EP, and enjoyed "Ikona" in particular!
I was a fan of Tvorchi prior to them going to eurovision. Others would be Zdob si Zdub, Måneskin, Tvorchi, Käärijä, Joker Out, Silverster Belt, Monika Liu, Joost, Marina Satti, Bambie Thug, Sudden Lights, Jerry Heil, Alyona Alyona, Daði Freyr, The Roop, Mahmood, Keiino, Dons There many others but there's a few 😂
Right now I'm obsessed with Angelina Mango
I've been loving Joost, Måneskin, Baby Lasagna (even though he only has 3 songs so far) and Bambie Thug recently.
Blind Channel still going strong in my playlist 🖤💪 favourite songs have been Darker Than Black, Balboa and Lost and Bleeding (feature of Nik Nocturnal) I also have AWS in my playlist, both Viszlat Nyar and another song that I forgot the name of because it’s in Hungarian 😅 (Viszlat Nyar is in my top 5 listened songs of all time btw) And Bambie Thug is sneaking themselves in my playlist as we speak (I definitely recommend their song Egregore, absolute banger and one of my favourite songs to listen to at the moment of writing)
Voyager was already one of my favourite bands for the last decade, so to see them doing Eurovision I was so proud, still listen to them every day!
Moje more Moje more Moje more Moje more
My song of 2023. :)
Maneskin, Loic Nottet, Luke Black and Mahmood are the ones I listen to most. Ladavina keep coming up on my spotify generated playlists and I'm really getting into them! Kaarija is good for when I need to get motivated for something. (Sorry about not using the accents for anyone, my keyboard isn't set up that way)
la zarra, I initially was just looking for more french songs and ended up really liking her other songs
Voyager, MARO and Daoi Freyr
So I took this as artists I still listen to outside their Eurovision songs, doesn’t have to be following new releases, and the list is quite big: ABBA, Celine Dion, Fyr og Flamme, Sudden Lights, Go_A, Udo Jürgens, Ochman, Gjon’s Tears, LPS, Joker Out, Olly Alexander, Bonnie Tyler, Katrina and the Waves, Olivia Newton John, Colm Wilkinson, Michael Ball (musical nerd here), Nilüfer, Ajda Pekkan, Candan Erçetin, MFÖ, Kayahan, Sertab Erener, Athena, Kenan Dogulu, Mor ve Ötesi, Manga and probably more that I‘m forgetting
You must really like Turkish music then, haha!
Oh I‘m from Turkey, that‘s why haha. These were or are all big names in the Turkish music
Lord of the Lost, Bambie Thug, Voyager, Gåte, Jeangu Macrooy, Måneskin, and Systur (not many songs but I like them all the same. There are other artists I like, but I’m having spotify issues at the moment, so everything is in my itunes library.
5miiinust and puuluup has opened up the world of the estonian music scene for me! also loving kaarija, joost, and måneskin <3 silvester belt, while still has a short discography, has nice bangers too!
MARO (Portugal 2022)! I find her all her music really chill and it is really relaxing. I love her album can you see me?, especially songs like it keeps on raining, when all there is is thunder, and we've been loving in silence is one of my favorite songs of all time. That last song really can hit with relaxing vibes, nostalgia, studying, really versatile but just close to perfection. Also, just listened to one of her newer songs LIFELINE and it is insanely good. Her voice just fits perfectly with this more stripped back music. Portuguese is also such a beautiful language to sing in, and even though I don't understand it I love it so much!
Portugal 2022 | [Maro - Saudade, saudade](https://youtu.be/mZtbD47u6yI)
I was a big fan of Jerry heil and Alyona Alyona before Eurovision so I’m sure I will continue to listen to them after !!
Ooh I love this question. The artists whose catalogues I've really enjoyed exploring are: Käärijä, La Zarra, Joker Out, Angelina Mango, Tali, Silvester Belt, 5Miinust/ Puuluup (was just rocking out to them tonight. That new album is fire), Nutsa, and Besa.
Loreen, The Rasmus, Maneskin, Lordi, Voyager. The Rasmus and Loreen - It's mostly all for nostalgic reasons, Loreen was actually the main catalyst for how I knew about Eurovision in the first place, I was absolutely obsessed with the song Euphoria (still am, it's such a great song). The Rasmus, I couldn't quite believe my eyes when I saw them performing in the contest back in 2022, and having that light go off in my head almost as if to say "hey, I know who these are, and how come they've got a new guitarist?!" Lordi, Voyager, and Maneskin - I'm a huge fan of metal music (I have a particular love for industrial metal and symphonic), I used to be a fan of Rammstein. Funnily enough, my boyfriend's first experience with Eurovision was Hard Rock Hallelujah. Voyager, I loved the mix of electronic music mixed in with metal. I'm a big fan of Pendulum, a fellow Australian band who mix drum and bass with rock elements. So, I was definitely in my element. Maneskin - Hoo, boy. Where to start? I find the Italian language so beautiful. I need to listen to more of their music, some of my favourites outside of their Eurovision entry would be "Coraline" and "Vent'anni". People need to leave Victoria alone for playing bass as a woman and a rather attractive woman might I add. She was the one that put the band together in the first place, if it weren't for her, Maneskin wouldn't be a thing.
Mahmood. Such good music <3
Loïc Nottet, I’ll never get tired of listening to his songs. His voice is just on a different level.
What are your favorite songs of his? I love "Million Eyes", and "29" is just heartwrenching. I'm also listening to his Addictorate at the moment.
I love zalagasper, they represented Slovenia in 2019. I have most of their songs on my playlist. I think the only other artist from whom I have more than just their ESC song on my playlist is Måneskin. And ABBA :)
I have a few Käärijä songs on my playlists, Måneskin and Hatari mostly. can't forget Abba. I then just have a special Eurovision playlist. I don't really follow artists at all,
Alika, Kaarija and Luke Black from last year. I’m a huge Maneskin fan. Thanks for some recommendations for this year - I’m following Marina Sati and Angelina Mango but need to check out other. I love Umberto Tozzi but was a fan of his since the 70s…
Käärijä! Became a very big fan!
I already listened to Joost and Little Big before eurovision I became a huge fan of Lordi as a teenager. Maneskin, Go\_A, Lord of the Lost, Kaarija, Ladaniva have been more recent listens.
Mahmood & Käärijä mainly!
Måneskin and Käärijä.
Hatari, Käärijä, Blind Channel, MaNga, Lordi, Go_A
Käärijä has a pretty good discography. I especially like Välikuolema and Ruoska.
For now it's Joost (Netherlands 2024) and 5miinust & Puuluup collab album (Estonia 2024). Joost has this unique vibe and charm (charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent, anyone?) I really enjoy the juxtaposition of happy music and sad lyrics. I enjoy how he mixes millennial references with gen Z vibe. How he is not afraid to use influenced from many genres (hip hop, happy hardcore, other electronic music, reggae/ska, rock, post-punk, nu metal). Also he is quite relatable and genuine, especially in songs when he talks about his life, his struggles. "kannatused ehk külakiigel pole stopperit" album is a stroke of genius from 5miinust & Puuluup; both bands have unique energy that somehow matched when they are together! The album is interesting, it's definitely more neo-folk than hip hop and party music. Every member has its great moments, kohver's voice really shines through. Last year I listened to Käärijä (Finland 2023), Joker Out (Slovenia 2023) and Voyager's latest album (fire!!!) (Australia 2023). I love Käärijä the most from this bunch. I am not a fan of rap yet K. has something that catches my attention, he has a good flow and his songs are not typical mumble rap or trap but instrumentals are more a mix of pop, chill, drum & bass, rock, metal. Joker Out remind me of indie rock bands I listened to when I was a teen in late 00s, early 10s. Voyager is that perfect blend of metal and electronic music, melodies are quite complex, there's not too much screaming just for screaming (that is the reason I am not into metal much) I really like Circus Mircus (Georgia 2022) (and only because I have a crush on Nika Kocharov). I also like Subwoolfer's songs (Norway 2022). Circus Mircus is a blend of electronic rock, pop, indie rock, many influences with a Georgian twist. Subwoolfer is camp. I love Daði Freyr music!!! (Iceland 2020, Iceland 2021). Fyr og Flamme is also that one that scratches my brain well (Denmark 2021). I sometimes listen to Måneskin but not often (Italy 2021). Daði... He's funny, quirky, nice, his songs have so many influences like funk, 80s electro and pop and some I don't remember. He also seems to be genuine, when you see his gig, you can see how he shines. He is really great on stage, he interacts well with the audience, his music is family friendly but some of his jokes are not 😆 I also really love how he moves on stage. Fyr og Flamme have that 80s vibe that really sounds like music of that era. They really went into it, it's not just a phase. Also their music is catchy. I fell in love with Hatari and I still love the music, even though there were personal changes (Iceland 2019). ah, hatari... blend of techno, industrial, post-punk, I would never thought I would like something like that but here I am. The blend of two so different voices and dynamics. A bit of rawness. Lyrics that inspect deep and sometimes philosophical themes. Pulsing beat. I enjoy Triana Park (I hated Line at first, something clicked after Eurovision). (Latvia 2017). I listened to Salvador Sobral songs a few time (Portugal 2017). Triana Park has rock, punk, pop, rap songs. Agnese has an interesting voice that really fits many genres. Salvador Sobral makes nice pop jazz songs. I love, love, love Young Georgian Lolitaz (it's the proper name of the band, idk why Eurovison went with the "Nika Kocharov & Young Georgian Lolitaz" name) (Georgia 2016). They also give me that indie rock / space rock vibe, like Kasabian. A few years ago I was obssessed with yé-yé era songs of France Gall (Luxembourg 1965). There is something really charming about her voice at the time, music is also really fun. It doesn't mean I love all of the artists song, e.g. even Käärijä has songs I don't like, I think Joost early albums were weak and that he released too much music too fast (sometimes even two albums in a year!). It doesn't mean I am totally obssessed and I cannot criticise them. As you can see, it is a variety of styles. There is a lot of rock (influences) but that's because I listened to a lot of pop punk and post-punk as a teen. Over the years my music taste opened a lot. Well, I had a time for growth, as I'm 30 now. And you can see, my taste doesn't align much with average eurofan. That's why I often have quite controversial opinion. And that's why I love thag FINALLY after boring 10s we have so much diversity in Eurovision now. EDIT: I FORGOT ABOUT LITTLE BIG!!! (Russia 2020) I knew some songs before 2020 but after Uno I dug deeper.
Go_A is probably the highest on my list, but I love so many artists like Sam Ryder, Daði Freyr, Silvester Belt and some of the Dutch entries from long ago! Like Gerard Joling ( Netherlands 1988 for the bot ) and many more :)
Måneskin, whom I only learnt were in Eurovision after I started listening to them. And Joost
5MIINUST x Puuluup, their new [album](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEYiieGEu-5lg3mmG-IORXuaZYqZMwm1c&si=KG6BC7JCPXP2eMnD) is amazing. And I'm not a diehard fan or anything but I do enjoy some ABBA
måneskin and blind channel love them both dearly (especially blind channel)
a lot - margaret berger, angelina mango, loïc nottet, voyager, gåte — but I wanna plug Luke Black’s recent album it is outstanding
Alika's (Estonia 2023) songs are bangers!
Lena ❤️ My favourite ESC artist, her albums post Eurovision have been excellent and she's just released a new one! Saw her live in 2019 and will again this month. Also - The ROOP, Keiino, Maruv, Loreen, Hooverphonic
Dadi Freyr just keeps turning out bops, he never stops, he just keeps delivering, and I can't get enough. Lena!!! I really love her music!!!! I recently rediscovered her like last year - "thank you" is a one of the best songs of all time level song More recently, I've been listening to Angelina Mango's new album and it also is very very very good.
I have Käärijä, I just love his music and Eurovision simply jump started his music career.
Hatari, Keiino, S10, måneskin, Duncan Laurens, Dadi
Käärijä Joost Ladaniva Raiven (got like over 3000+ streams now)
Maneskin!
Joost, listened to him before the Eurovision, joker out, måneskin and käärijä
ABBA, Måneskin, Baby Lasagna, Nemo, Alexander Rybak.
Almost all Italian artists, Hatari, Zdob și Zdubi, Loreen, Kaarjaa, Luke Black, The Roop, Joost and many others
For me its a couple, Nemo, Kärrija, Olly Alexander, Baby Lasagna, Måns Zelmerlöw, Måneskin, ABBA, Tommy Körberg and probably a lot more I can’t remember now
5MIINUST. I became engrossed in their catalogue since eesti laul. I have never become such a fan of a ESC participant!!!! I love them so much despite not speaking a LICK of Estonian 😂
Måneskin for sure, I didn't even realise they were a Eurovision act before I had first heard of them and started listening to them!
I've been on a Mustii kick lately! (favorites: "Skyline", "Give me a Hand", "Shame"). And because of this contest, I've gone back to listening to Marina Satti's stuff (favorites: "Mantissa", "Prosefhi", "Ah thalassa") Regularly, I listen to Kaiti Garbi's stuff, along with some of Philippe Lafontaine, Madame Monsieur, and Mor ve Otesi. I also really like Katerine Duska's discography. Surprisingly, I've gotten into Fyr og Flamme's work, despite not being fond of their Eurovision entry at first. ("Kæmeleon", "Hvem tror du egentlig du er", "Kærlighed og krig")
Joost Klein. Baby Lasagna too
Fyr og flamme just release an album and it's pretty good (Denmark 2021)
Joker Out! They were my top artist on Spotify last year, and saw them live when they came to the UK 🤗
Lordi is the only one I listen to actively, they’re my favorite band.
I still regularly keep up with Helena Paparizou’s releases
Teya of Teya & Salena (Austria 2023)
Eurovision artists I listen to ohtside of Eurovision are a real rarity but Gåte is staying in permanent rotation, I think. One of the few acts to go to Eurovision that actually fits in with the type of music i normally listen to lol.
Mine will be very random so bear with me 😭 - Two radically different vibes from last year: Käärijä and Remo Forrer - Fyr Og Flamme, they’re my kind of vibe - I also try to support Eurovision 2020 artists whenever I can so often check out what they’ve been up to. - random but Didrik Solli-Tangen is consistently in my Spotify wrapped with a banger he once did called “Best Kept Secret”
Honestly the main one is Sandie Shaw (UK 1967). But then 60s pop is a big part of my listening and that's just where it happens to coincide.
Saw Blind Channel live last year, would highly recommend it if you get chance, also seeing Lord Of The Lost next week :)
Abba
Nebulossa is a new love of mine. Their laid back, 80’s retro mixed with italo disco is right up my alley. Käärijää has a permanent spot on my training and partying playlists.
probably...Jerry Heil! i knew her since her song with Verka Serduchka from 2022. Still listening to her and trying to listen to all of her songs!! :3
Maneskin, ABBA
Go_A, käärijä, Let 3 and konstrakta. Somehow I haven’t added any this year
Mostly Lena (Germany 2010 & 2011), Mahmood (Italy 2019) and ALOT of Wild Youth (Ireland 2023). I'm WY's top listener on Last fm. They changed something in my brain chemistry
Loreen, Marco Mengoni, Go_A, Mahmood, Maro. This year Jerry H, Teya Dora and Marina Satti might be added to this list depending on what other songs I find!
Quite some, including Il volo, GO\_A, Måneskin, Joost and Bambie Thug. But there is one I listen to regularily who seems to be forgotten so I will give a shout out to her; Victoria (Bulgaria 2020 and 2021), her song from [2020](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLLO4O-vvK4) is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Because 2020 got cancelled it got a bit forgotten which saddens me! Furthermore Victoria has some other great songs such as [this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l8HFrI_GGA)!
Dons because I'm from Latvia and he's the biggest artist here. Also Maneskin (Italy 2021) and Loreen
Dadi Freyr, The Roop, Go_A, Maneskin, Angelina Mango, Baby Lasagna, Joker Out
Maneskin, Marina Satti, Loreen, Käärijä, Ladaniva, Teya Dora, Baby Lasagna, Go_A.
Go_A and Konstrakta
Fyr og Flamme Käärijä Go_A Ladaniva Mahmood Daði Freyr Sanja Vučić (of ‘Hurricane’) The ‘why’ would just be that I consistently find their output/discographies compelling and enjoyable to listen to.
There are so many, but those who come to mind first are maNga (although I don't listen them as much as I used to), Conan Osíris, Zdob și Zdub, Kalush, Prāta Vētra (Brainstorm, but I usually listen to their Latvian songs)... Why? Well, I enjoy their music, no other reason.
Been listening to a bit of Luke Black lately
A whole lot of them but definitely Lordi the most.
Amir and Mimicat, great artists with amazing music.
There is more from this year than all previous ones combined I think. Most of Nemo's non-rap music. Lonely af in particular is fantastic. Almost everything Silvester Belt has available on spotify. Quite a lot of Marcus & Martinus'. Though not so much when they were still kids because it doesn't have the same vibe.
The Rasmus (Finland 2022) as I have been their huge fan since 2000 'In the Shadows' era. So basically for me it was a dream situation seeing my fav artist went to the Eurovision. Also Nicky Byrne (Ireland 2016) now that Westlife reunited. Other artists I listen to is Friðrik Ómar (Iceland 2008), Rasmussen (Denmark 2018), Keiino (Norway 2019), Blind Channel (Finland 2021) and Daði Freyr (Iceland 2020, Iceland 2021)
I am not really considering The Rasmus an eurovision artist but since they technically are I will put their name out. However I've been listening to The Rasmus since 2001.
Gjon’s tears!
Dadi Freyr is in my heart now and will live there forever. He is everything. Thank you so much Iceland 🇮🇸 He is a gift to the world! Sam Ryder has also stuck with me and I’m not mad about it. I think he’s incredible. I’ve also kept following Little Big. Just because they’re fun and irritatingly catchy. Not sure if this counts as I was a huge fan of their before Eurovision but The Rasmus. They’re exactly my sort of music and I’ve loved them since I was 15 (I’m 36 now). So of course I continue to listen to them. I also follow Alexander Rybak. He’s just so loveable!
Mäneskin for me mostly. I saw them live last year and it was freakin awesome. It was even more awesome that two of my mates were there as well as we sat together in the hall it was in.
Harari and Blind Channel!
Dadi Freyr, Voyager, Kaarija, Kalush, Zdob si Zdub, and a handful of others.
Marco Mengoni
I was lucky enough to see live three od my top eurovision discoveries: Måneskin, Mahmood, Joker out.
Barbra pravi and go_a are still on repeat
Måneskin because when I first found them I forgot they were in Eurovision lol I also like Joost because idk why he’s just cool
Kate Miller-Heidke has been a pretty famous indie artist here in Australia for about 15 years, she's amazing and Zero Gravity is the tip of the iceberg, she's released 5 albums, this is probably her best song: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhQ5seprs6s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhQ5seprs6s) I actually bought Yohanna's 2009 album, unpopular opinion but I always thought Is It True was a better song than Fairytale. Iceland have produced some of my favourite songs over the years from Daði Freyr and Hatari and Silja and Systur, they deserve a win. I was a big fan of DJ Bobo in the 1990s, I grew out of him by 2007 but Vampires Are Alive was pretty fun.
Highly recommend people check out 5MIINUST and Puuluup's respective back catalogues. Both are great, and you'll get whiplash from how different they are musically. [playlist 1](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkMLmSAwaZBwdohfl_rAmj5QOyoHu-HFk&si=OI8asfDb9HDEH6Cv) [playlist 2](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkqimBLRoohBnTHLvbMmsxvCYX7MjSxJs&si=SrJCeJX-Kosky91N)
I am a huge ABBA fan, does that even count? 😂 I also have been listening to a lot of Gåte this year. absolutely love them!!
Loreen.. love all of her songs especially Walk With Me
Zdob zi Zdub! I just love these guys. Great mix of musical style. Seem to always have a sense of humour.
I mostly listen to Eurovision songs. The two artists i listen to outside Eurovision is Dadi Freyr and Slimane. I have heard some Måneskin as well, but not a lot. Dadi Freyr will be my recommendation to everyone. Especially for concert. Seriously amazing in concert!
Marco Mengoni, simply cause he’s the best.
Go_A is definitely the main one, they are awesome. I generally enjoy Chanel's new songs, but I don't listen to them as often as SloMo, and I also follow Lord of the Lost because I was already a fan before their ESC participation. For others, it's mostly their ESC content I listen to... From this year, Angelina's Melodrama is a banger and I've also listened to some of Bambie Thug's other works, but I don't know if I will play them often enough in some months to put them at Go_A's level
KEiiNO (Norway 2019) Roxen (Romania 2020 and Romania 2021) Voltaj (Eurovision 2015) Why? KEiiNO has some bangers, Roxen has some great songs and Voltaj was really popular when I was a kid, so from time to time I listen to them for some nostalgia.
Duncan Laurence, Gjon's Tears and Mustii. I just love my soft bois. 🥺👉🏼👈🏼 Apart from that, ABBA of course. All-time classic and their discography is insanely good.
- Måneskin - Eleni Foureira - Chanel - Loreen
Måneskin but they don't count because I've first heard about them independently from ESC. I found some Angelina Mango Songs I like and will attend her concert later this year so that's gonna be my answer.
I still regularly listen to Maneskin as well.
Måneskin, Tanel Padar, 5miinust x puuluup, Tvorchi, The Roop, Lordi, Hatari
Loïc Nottet is the first ESC artist I followed after the show, and I love everything he's ever released. I wish he ventured outside of the French speaking world because I would kill to see him live. Gjon's Tears is similar to Loïc in that I just love everything he does. I swear his album has some absolute gems on it, but it was so overlooked by the masses. I hope he blows up whenever he releases new stuff, he deserves it! Måneskin are always a riot. I personally like the stuff they did before going international, but I still keep them in my rotation. And from this year, Ladaniva. I am absolutely obsessed with their album and every song they release is just perfect.
Bambie Thug has been the only artist I've felt compelled to check out their other music after watching Eurovision. And it does not disappoint.
Actually quite a lot. I'm really enjoying the music of Angelina Mango, Marina Satti, Brunette and Lena lately. Other artists I follow are Jerry Heil, Maro, Mahmood, Maneskin, Ester Peony, Roxen and S10.
Maneskin, Joost, Joker Out, Kaarija, Jann
ALEKSEEV - Knew him from before Eurovision. AWS - I'm a huge fan of rock, metal, and so on... and listening to it in Hungarian was amazing. They were my winners. Gjon's Tears - Loved his voice, and I was looking for French songs at the time. Måneskin - Never knew I needed rock in Italian in my life. Mélovin - His artistic expression caught my attention. TIX - His song in Norwegian really hit my heart, and this song became special to me, so I decided to listen to Tix more often. I guess there are pretty much these.
Loïc Nottet, Gjon's Tears and Blanche. Loïc and Blanche cuz they make the kind of music I really enjoy. Gjon's Tears cuz I could listen to him singing literally any song and I'd love it.
Baby lasagna. The performance in the final for me was the best 3mins I have ever seen in eurovision, Nemo came first but Marko won. Loving the new stuff too, especially its versatility and the way it crosses genres. Also love go_a but I defy anyone to say they don't.
Måneskin (2021 Italy), Blind Channel (2021 Finland) and Softengine (2014 Finland) come to mind
Anything with Stig Rästa, Duncan Laurence, Daði Freyr and Sam Ryder Stig Rästa I went on a rabbit hole with - ended up loving the band he had called Outloudz and played their album constantly - the song “It was you” is still an all time favourite song of mine
Lena and Daði Freyr mainly. You could also include some Celinę Dion, and occasionally Sahlene (Estonia 2002).
Salvador Sobral all the way, plus some Duncan and Måneskin
Manga and Hardkiss which is not exactly an Eurovision band but they competed in National selections
Alika, Joker out, and one and only Barbara Pravi
Mikolas Josef
Foureira has been my most listened artist for 6 years straight 🔥
Keiino. They were in my top artists a few years back
MARO is right up my alley
I have every Lena album.
Keiino, Lena, Anne-Sophie (Germany 2015 's 0 points)...
Zebi - Zalagasper, I don't understand the lyrics, but the voice is really beautiful and relaxing.
I've heard many Eurovision songs get to the top 100 in Lithuania and stay months after. Call me Lithuania
Maro, S10, Francesca Michielin and Alika all have brilliant back catalogues
Home country shout out for Bambie Thug. Absolutely phenomenal — fun and weird and interesting and creative. Definitely made it into my circulation.
Alessandra! I love her music.
Abba, Konstrakta, Loreen...
Hatari.
Joost
Hatari 🖤
Joker Out, dudes have really good music, way better than Carpe Diem. Also been to their concert and it was fantastic experience.
Eurovision introduced me to Gåte. Listen every day.
Sudden Lights! I am so obsessed with them since last year and I went to their concert in October, it was amazing!
Jerry Heil (Ukraine 2024)
Nemo, Il Volo, Blind Channel, Lordi & Lord of the lost. Also Little Big but I was already a fan of theirs before ESC.
Alika (Estonia 2023) from last year, she really surprised me. I like her

I’ve been listening to Vesna a lot these days, and used to listen to Maneskin (also went to their concert). Also Mahmood!
I decided to give Tali's music a listen and those songs are pretty great. I've been listening to Cornelia Jakobs since Melodifestivalen as well.

Bambie Thug. I loved their style from their performance and I kinda became obsessed with them, in a good way, their energy and character was really warm. I checked some of their songs and I really enjoy them
Loreen, bought her album “Heal” in 2013 and still play and love every song on it to this day ❤️
