Ken Bruce runs down The UK’s All-Time Eurovision Top 50 in a special chart.

Ken Bruce presents an abridged chart run down of the most popular songs from those that made it to Eurovision finals (and half finals) in the Contest's 65 years history.

Earlier this year, fans of the world's most popular music contest were invited to vote for their favourite Eurovision entries. And they had plenty to choose from: to date, there have been over 1,600 eligible entries that have made it to the Contest's Finals and Semi-Finals in its 65 year history.

In this special show, Ken Bruce runs down the UK's All-Time Top 50.  

Eurovision is the longest-running annual international music competition, and one of the world's longest-running television programmes, annually attracting over 200 million viewers. 67 songs from 27 countries have won the Contest, and 52 countries have participated at least once, including Ireland with seven wins, Sweden with six, and France, Luxembourg, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands with five each.  

Abba's Waterloo is the most successful Eurovision winner, but where will it land on this special chart?  

And where will the most covered Eurovision song - Domenico Mudugno‘s Nel Blu Di Pinto Di Blu, also known as Volare - be placed?

Will Celine Dion, Olivia Newton-John and Cliff Richard make it into the Top 50? Or will more recent Eurovision stars like Loreen, Conchita Wurst and Duncan Laurence beat them to it? 

And will such non-winners as Ukraine’s Verka Serduchka and Dancing Lasha Tumbai, or Malta’s Chiara and Angel, finally triumph?

All is revealed by the King of Eurovision himself, Ken Bruce.
The complete and unabridged version of the chart is available on BBC Sounds.
Produced by Malcolm Prince.
