I never thought that an article in my blog would ever have a JESC logo at the top but there you go - I committed myself at the end of the last 'radio show' post and I did listen to all 19 entries that will compete in Poland this year. Having said that, I didn't listen to all of them in their entirety - the five that I play on this week's show towards the end of the second hour were my top five and those that I could listen to all the way through! Before those, there are loads of new releases plus all the news of the week in musical form - have a listen:

Have a listen and have a think about what other Eurovision songs I could include next week - remember that I possibly have two hours now, although there is bound to be some news to play first.
