The ESC Top 250 is getting closer. 2020 has been quite the year, and the upcoming holiday season will be unlike any others, including December 31st. The only thing that we won\u2019t take away from you is to enjoy the 250 most popular songs from 65 years of the Eurovision Song Contest, chosen by you.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We\u2019re all ready for some great news, which is why we are proud to present the new logo for 2020. With this we are <strong>officially ready<\/strong> for a new ESC Top 250. For the <strong>fourth<\/strong> year in a row, Songfestival.be is responsible for the organisation. Behind the scenes we are working hard to again receive and process your votes <em>en masse<\/em> this year. More information about this year&#8217;s edition will be released in the coming weeks. What we can already reveal is that we will give you <strong>more than enough time<\/strong> to get to that ultimate top ten. The ESC Top 250 will be broadcast, as usual, on <strong>ESCRadio<\/strong> on December 31st.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/307692392582188\/posts\/4826018407416208\/?vh=e&#038;extid=0&#038;d=n<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><strong><span class=\"s1\">Songs from 2020<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We&#8217;ve got a lot of questions on social media about the songs that normally had competed in 2020. The participating artists and broadcasters did not violate any rules, but were still collectively excluded from the competition due to <em><strong>force majeure<\/strong><\/em>. As these are external factors beyond the will and abilities of individuals and broadcasters, and to honour the candidates and songs of 2020, we have decided to include this year&#8217;s 41 songs in the ESC Top 250 vote, in November and December this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u203c\ufe0fNEWS\u203c\ufe0f<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Eurovision?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Eurovision<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Esc250?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Esc250<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LSeG8tj2c1\">pic.twitter.com\/LSeG8tj2c1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Songfestival.be (@Songfestival_be) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Songfestival_be\/status\/1262035241843163137?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 17, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><strong><span class=\"s1\">Trending topic across Europe<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Last year, <strong>#ESC250<\/strong> was one of the most used hashtags on social media during the broadcast.
