Looking back at the Eurovision Top 250: Results from 2008

It is that time of the year where Eurovision fans vote for their all time favourite Eurovision songs in the annual Eurovision Top 250 (ESC 250).

Every New Year's Eve, Eurovision fans across the globe tune into ESC Radio to hear the Top 250 Eurovision songs voted by fans. The poll has been running since 2007 (started by 12points.tv) with the voting component organised by Belgian Eurovision site Songfestival.be. Vote for your top 10 favourite Eurovision songs ever on the songfestival.be website here.

We take a look back at the second ever edition of the Eurovision Top 250 in 2008. The voting was run by the now defunct Eurovision site 12points.tv.

The second Eurovision song to be voted No.1 on the Eurovision Top 250 is Croatia's Danijela with 'Neka mi ne svane', a classic Balkan ballad with an epic reveal. She knocked off Finland's Monica Aspelund with her song 'Lapponia' from 1977, which was the first ever winner of the ESC Top 250 in 2007. We want to thank Twitter user @Pomegranate987 for having discovered the winner of the 2007 ESC Top 250.
