Compared to the two previous editions, the chart welcomes a former winner at the top of the list:\u00a0Loreen and her\u00a0<em>Euphoria<\/em>, the song with which she won ESC 2012. Songfestival.be received over 7,500 sets of valid votes this edition, which was aired at EFR12 Radio for the second year running.<\/p>\n<p class=\"post-p-lead\">As usual, we ended the year with a big Eurovision party. Yet again, the\u00a0<em>ESC250\u00a0<\/em>brought joy (and anguish) on the final day of the year. We open 2025 with news that you have read before:\u00a0<strong>Loreen has again topped the\u00a0<em>ESC250\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><strong>chart with\u00a0<em>Euphoria<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The Swedish singer is stronger than ever:\u00a0<em>Tattoo<\/em>, her 2023 winning Eurovision entry, has ended in second place. Unprecedented!<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>No goodbye, but a see you later<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As mentioned before it is <strong>far from the first time that Loreen snatches away the first place in our list<\/strong>. After her victory in ESC 2012 she topped every single\u00a0<em>ESC250\u00a0<\/em>edition up until 2022. In that year, Chanel, who had ended third for Spain in Turin, won the radio event.<\/p>\n<p>So far Chanel only has one victory, because in 2023 two new protagonists emerged.<strong> The battle between\u00a0K\u00e4\u00e4rij\u00e4 and Loreen in Liverpool<\/strong>, then won by the latter artist, was repeated months later in our\u00a0<em>ESC250<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately the Finnish singer won that rematch.\u00a0<strong><em>Tattoo\u00a0<\/em>came second in the ranking<\/strong>, just as in the 2024 vote, with\u00a0<em>Euphoria\u00a0<\/em>&#8216;only&#8217; in third place. Chanel ended in a very respectable 4th place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This year, however, the Swedish Eurovision superstar left both rivals far behind.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b><i>The class of 2024<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>How did the class of 2024 perform in this year&#8217;s <em>ESC250<\/em>?<strong> The highest newcomer in the list is Dutchman Joost Klein with his\u00a0<em>Europapa<\/em>, finishing in 5th place.<\/strong> His Eurovision adventure ended abruptly just hours before the Grand Final. Eurovision fans have chosen to reward him accordingly in our ranking.<\/p>\n<p>The 2024 winner, Nemo with\u00a0<em>The Code<\/em>, enters the\u00a0<em>ESC250\u00a0<\/em>at #7. I<strong>n between Joost and Nemo we find the Croatian revelation of the past Eurovision edition, with Baby Lasagna finishing at #6.<\/strong> Greek singer Marina Satti also enters the top 10, at #9.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Full list<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The full top 250 ranking, including all songs that ended outside the ranking, will be published soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>De Zweedse palmt de topposities in. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20134,"featured_media":75339,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7198],"tags":[3859,7117,7171,6020,6021,6137,2807,2113,1015,254,6633,7079,3052,6626,3400,6628,219,17,6630,4925,4926,6309,6506,43,6627,6909,19,6634,7170,6624,6632,6631,2216,6625,6629,1291,4195,591],"class_list":["post-75349","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-top-250-2024","tag-esc250","tag-basel","tag-bazel","tag-belgie-eurosong","tag-belgie-songfestival","tag-chanel","tag-esc","tag-esf","tag-euphoria","tag-eurosong","tag-eurosong-2024-belgie","tag-eurosong-2025","tag-eurosong-belgie","tag-eurosong-zweden","tag-eurosongfestival","tag-eurosongfestival-2024","tag-eurovisiesongfestival","tag-eurovision","tag-eurovision-sweden","tag-gastland-songfestival","tag-gaststad-songfestival","tag-gustaph","tag-kaarija","tag-loreen","tag-loreen-eurovision","tag-nemo","tag-songfestival","tag-songfestival-2024-belgie","tag-songfestival-2025","tag-songfestival-zweden","tag-stockholm-eurosong","tag-stockholm-songfestival","tag-suisse","tag-sweden-2023","tag-sweden-songfestival","tag-switzerland","tag-tattoo","tag-zwitserland"],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"3.0.2","language":"en","enabled_languages":["nl","fr","en"],"languages":{"nl":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":true},"fr":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false},"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false}}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75349","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/20134"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=75349"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75349\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":75367,"href":"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75349\/revisions\/75367"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/75339"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=75349"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=75349"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=75349"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
