Netta was looking to start her Jury SF1 performance there...
The 5th Anniversary Show looked to her to kick things off too!
August 8th 2023 was when this show was broadcast - 5 years and a day from show 1 back on August 7th 2018! A massive occasion deserved a show full of special moments, admittedly with songs that have been on the show once already - have a listen...

There are no extra links this week and I managed to get through 25 tracks (in full on Mixcloud)! It was a real pleasure to pick out a show of milestones for LET ME BE THE ONE Eurovision Radio Show and I hope that you all enjoyed listening to some real classics! Show #262 will be the normal mix of music relating to the news of the week plus new releases. One of the tracks will relate to an issue that has arisen between Cyprus and Greece, that being the use of a certain selection process that saw this singer come to stardom...
Fame Story and Kalomira are intertwined forever...
Listen in next week to find out the ins and outs of Cyprus choosing an artist for 2024!
