Good shout for Je T'Adore in there... for some reason, Kate Ryan hasn't broke here but her output since Eurovision has been wide ranging and incredibly popular across Europe.

I'll also put forward Runaway by Anna Sahlene, Je Ne Sais Pas by Hera Bjork, Congratulations by Silvia Night, Every Way That I Am by Elena Paprarizou and Gravity by Zlata Ognevich as some of my favourites..
