GET. IT. #ESC250

The great thing about this Top 10: Most of these acts were not initially expected to win their national finals, let alone do well at Eurovision -M #ESC2025

It'd be kinda wild if all the other Swedish tracks meant that folks forgot to vote for Loreen. Not gonna happen, but a silly thought exercise. -M #ESC250

2 Looneyverse #ESC250

love to see the continued love for "Hatrið mun sigra" even if I've cooled a LOT on Hatari's recent english-language stuff. -B #ESC250

"Heroes" is Sweden's 22nd entry in today's #ESC250. There's still 4 previous entries we haven't heard plus BBB, so they will probably set the new record at 27 (unless "Las Vegas" hive fully assembled)

Oh yay, I'm still stinging from "Voyage" getting 0 in the televote. One of the best executed stagings of 2025 -M #ESC250

deeply appreciate the high-risk staging the Swiss went for on this one. -B #ESC250

Maro will also be touring in the US and Canada in April #ESC250 maro.com/tour/

That anyone was able to get "seven minutes of unnecessary panic attacks" to scan is an architectural feat -M #ESC250

You Are the Only One is the 3rd Class of 2016 entry to reach 10 #ESC250 Appearances. It's also the only Russian entry to chart so far.

I'm still 24 lessons from the Zorra section of Duolingo 🙁 -M #ESC250

This is the longest gap we've had between Swedish entries all day. The previous was Invincible at 133 #ESC250
