For the first time in 71 years of the Official Chart (and in the Eurovision Song Contest's 67-year history), this week sees four tracks from the contest gatecrash the Top 10 of the Official Singles Chart - the most Eurovision entries in the Official Chart Top 10 simultaneously ever, the Official Charts Company can confirm.
Today, Eurovision’s 2023 Swedish winner Loreen, Finland's Käärijä, the UK's Mae Muller and Norway's Alessandra all celebrate Top 10 success, proving the music of Eurovision increasingly transcends the stage to reach the country’s wider consciousness and – consequently – the Official Chart.
The pack is led by Loreen, who became the first woman (and only the second person ever) to win Eurovision twice with her intense dance behemoth Tattoo. Loreen’s winning entry debuts at Number 2, earning the Stockholm-born pop priestess the highest Official Chart peak of her career so far.
Tattoo even out-performs Loreen’s own legendary 2012 Eurovision winning song Euphoria, which peaked at Number 3, confirming her status as one of the biggest stars ever birthed from the contest.

Speaking exclusively to , says: “I’m absolutely overwhelmed by all the love and support that I’m receiving right now, especially from my UK friends that've been with me since day one. The UK's become my second home, and to receive a new peak there with Tattoo means the world to me. Thank you for being a part of the journey. Together, we've created history.”
Next up, Finland runner-up Käärijä storms straight into the UK Top 10 with his arresting ‘party metal’ anthem Cha Cha Cha. After placing second in this year’s contest, Cha Cha Cha lands at Number 6 and – in doing so – becomes the first-ever fully-Finnish language
