Eurovision 2022 runner-up @samhairwolfryder has released his second studio album Heartland.

The 13-track release is the follow-up to his 2022 debut album There's Nothing But Space, Man!, which entered the UK charts at number 1 and is certified Gold.

Before participating in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in Turin, Sam Ryder rose to fame on TikTok, where he began posting his viral music covers during the first lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020.

He caught the the attention of famous musicians such as Elton John, Sia, Justin Bieber, and Alicia Keys. By the end of 2020, he was the most-followed UK artist on the platform, signing a record contract with Parlophone.

When White Lies, the lead single from his new album Heartland, was released, Sam Ryder spoke to Official Charts about his journey into the next chapter of his music career as an independent artist, following his departure from his record label after a successful Eurovision tilt.

"It’s going back to where the foundations were laid," he explained.

"I have so much to thank the major system for – I truly mean that with my whole heart.

"What we did when we were picked up for Eurovision, talking of building worlds, I knew I had to build a world that would work for Eurovision."

He continued: "Creating that world – the jumpsuits, everything like that – was necessary because I was a massive fan of that institution and I knew in my gut how to approach it.

"I knew how to build something that’d feel larger than life on that stage. But Eurovision was only a chapter of the book, and now we’re building a new world for this next record."

Speaking about Heartland in a press release, Sam Ryder said:

"This record is a collection of songs attempting to convey the feeling of the last couple of years. The wish is to find a connection with you no matter where you are in the world, whether it’s flying high or feeling like you’re the only ship out on the ocean."

Heartland is available to stream now on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and other streaming services.

ICYMI: What SBS told the Senate about Israel and Eurovision participation

During Senate Estimates Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi challenged SBS over its plan to broadcast the contest if Israel takes part.

“Israel is also set to attend and will perform pop songs while the State of Israel bombs and buries Palestinian children under rubble.”

Faruqi noted that Belgium, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia and Ireland had all indicated they would withdraw, asking,

“If Israel participates… will you also withdraw, or will you provide cover for Israel?”

SBS Acting Managing Director Jane
Palfreyman replied,

“We intend to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest,” she said.

She told senators the broadcaster would not take a stance because “impartiality is a bedrock of who we are and our reason for being.” She added,

“It’s not appropriate for us to form a view on this. It is a matter for the EBU. We’re aware they’re going to vote with members in November, and we’ll look forward to hearing the outcome of that.”

Greens Senator David Shoebridge asked how many complaints SBS had received about its Eurovision stance and whether it had engaged with Palestinian communities.

Palfreyman said there were no formal Code complaints but around 150 pieces of audience feedback since January, “peaking in the latter half of September.”

“We regularly engage through many parts of our network… to understand and solicit the views of our communities to inform our position,” she said.

When asked specifically if SBS had contacted Palestinian representatives, Palfreyman said the broadcaster would take the question on notice and respond later.

2024 Eurovision Song Contest winner @nemothings has just released their highly anticipated debut album Arthouse.

A preview of the album came in the form of the single Cassanova, offering a more introspective sound while retaining Nemo’s distinctive vocals. Nemo's Eurovision winning song The Code is also on the Arthouse album as are three other singles that have already been released.

Originally set for earlier in the year, Nemo’s European tour — Break the Code — was postponed to later in 2025. Nemo announced the change citing the need for more time to focus on writing and the production of Arthouse.

In a recent interview, Nemo revealed that the demands following Eurovision left them with just three weeks to focus on new music, which they believed was not enough for this project. This time constraint played a major role in the tough decision they made to postpone the tour.

With the tour rescheduled, many fans will now get the chance to see Nemo with an 18-date European tour — Nemo 2025 Arthouse Tour.

@ozdale from the Aussievision team makes the case for @deanlewis to represent Australia at Eurovision.

Dean Lewis grew up in Sydney with his father teaching him to play guitar at an early age.

He was inspired by a live CD of British band Oasis and spent the next few years "watching every Oasis video” saying Noel Gallagher "basically taught me how to write songs."

It inspired him to chase a career in the music industry, and he got his start as a sound engineer.

Eventually, he went from behind the scenes to on stage, and his career took off with the release of his debut single Waves in 2016.

It went No.1 in Australia, charted internally, including in Europe and was featured in a number of hit US TV series, including Suits and Riverdale.

His 2018 single Be Alright was even more successful.

It reached No.1 in Australia, Belgium and the Czech Republic, the Top 10 in countless nations including Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden, plus No.11 in the UK.

People have been drawn to his raw emotional music and it's earned him a healthy global fan base, billions of streams and critical respect as one of Australia's best contemporary songwriters.

That honesty has earned him billions of streams, a global fanbase, and critical respect as one of Australia’s best contemporary songwriters.

Why Dean makes sense for Eurovision

Dean Lewis has the combination Australia needs right now: name recognition at home, credibility abroad, and the proven kind of songwriting that cuts through language barriers.

He’s a trusted and established performer, and his participation would send a strong message to European audiences.

Sending someone recognisable tells Europe that we take Eurovision seriously enough to send one of our best.

Even though our artists have been fantastic, we really haven't sent an big established name since Kate Miller-Heidke.

Dean would bring legitimacy and excitement both for local audiences and for international media.

It would also remind the Australian public that Eurovision can be a stage for our biggest stars.

For months Australia's own "Milkshake Man" @heyimgojo has been teasing that he is releasing a song with a Eurovision artist.

In a recent Instagram reel, he claims to be talking to the artist, asking fans to comment "clue" to pre-save the song and get a hint on who it is.

The clue is very cryptic! We'll let you visit his socials to find out more!

We've taken up the investigation to find out just which Eurovision artist could be the mystery collaborator.

Tommy Cash?

Tommy Cash is a very strong contender and is a hot favourite with fans.

When Go-Jo has asked on social media posts, it's Tommy who is mentioned most by those rushing to the comments.

The pair caught up in Estonia for some espresso macchiatos back in April. Could they have caught up in the recording studio?

When it comes to Go-Jo's and Tommy's own meeting, nothing was mentioned publicly as to what they discussed or got up to.

A collab between the two would be epic!!

ADONXS?

This year's Czech Eurovision artist ADONXS is another strong contender and extremely popular choice online to be Go-Jo's star collaborator.

Dozens of people have guessed in the comment section of Go-Jo's Instagram post about who the mystery artist might be.

The pair got along very well at the contest, and both are clearly very tall! But it's more than height that has brought these two together.

During Go-Jo's European Milkshake Man tour, ADONXS joined Go-Jo on stage in Prague.

However, it must be said that Go-Jo was joined by many artists while on tour including Red Sebastian, Zoë Më and Erika Vikman. So add them to the list!

Erika Vikman?

In an interview with Curiosity on YouTube, Go-Jo revealed that he was meeting the Finnish star.

"We are going to get some filming stuff done together and maybe even make a song."

Erika joined Go-Jo at his Paris gig, where they both performed Appetite and Sweet Sweet Yum Yum together.

We have another big clue: Erika is currently on tour and shared her own set list, which reveals a song called Appetite.

Though we have to say the clue given through Go-Jo's socials has completely thrown us off.

Could the strong ties with Erika be just a decoy?

What do you think?

For months Australia's own "Milkshake Man" @heyimgojo has been teasing that he is releasing a song with a Eurovision artist.

In a recent Instagram reel, he claims to be talking to the artist, asking fans to comment "clue" to pre-save the song and get a hint on who it is.

The clue is very cryptic! We'll let you visit his socials to find out more!

We've taken up the investigation to find out just which Eurovision artist could be the mystery collaborator.

Tommy Cash?

Tommy Cash is a very strong contender and is a hot favourite with fans.

When Go-Jo has asked on social media posts, it's Tommy who is mentioned most by those rushing to the comments.

The pair caught up in Estonia for some espresso macchiatos back in April. Could they have caught up in the recording studio?

When it comes to Go-Jo's and Tommy's own meeting, nothing was mentioned publicly as to what they discussed or got up to.

A collab between the two would be epic!!

ADONXS?

This year's Czech Eurovision artist ADONXS is another strong contender and extremely popular choice online to be Go-Jo's star collaborator.

Dozens of people have guessed in the comment section of Go-Jo's Instagram post about who the mystery artist might be.

The pair got along very well at the contest, and both are clearly very tall! But it's more than height that has brought these two together.

During Go-Jo's European Milkshake Man tour, ADONXS joined Go-Jo on stage in Prague.

However, it must be said that Go-Jo was joined by many artists while on tour including Red Sebastian, Zoë Më and Erika Vikman. So add them to the list!

Erika Vikman?

In an interview with Curiosity on YouTube, Go-Jo revealed that he was meeting the Finnish star.

"We are going to get some filming stuff done together and maybe even make a song."

Erika joined Go-Jo at his Paris gig, where they both performed Appetite and Sweet Sweet Yum Yum together.

Today @kyriakos.t from the team outlines why @midnighttilmorning_ should represent Australia at Eurovision 2026 in Vienna.

With their international appeal, strong management team, and TV experience, they’re exactly the kind of act Australia should be sending to Europe next year.

Midnight Til Morning are a trans-Pacific pop-rock group formed through the hit Netflix series Building The Band.

The four members, Australians Conor Smith and Mason Watts, alongside Americans Shane Appell and Zach Newbould, first met as solo performers before discovering undeniable chemistry as a band. Their harmonies, stage presence, and natural charisma quickly made them fan favourites on the show.

Though eliminated just before the final, the group’s momentum only grew.

Straight after the show they were signed by music label Chugg Music, home to acts like Sheppard, Lime Cordiale, and Australia’s Eurovision 2025 artist Go-Jo.

Their debut single Bye, co-written with Benson Boone, has already surpassed four million streams on Spotify, and a world tour across Australia, North America, and Europe is set to happen with shows already selling out.

The band has achieved a lot in a very short period of time, from reality TV hopefuls to serious global contenders in under a year. Eurovision could be the platform that catapults them into global stardom.

One of Midnight Til Morning’s biggest strengths is their record label partnership with Chugg Music.

The team behind Chugg Music played a big role in promoting Go-Jo, who represented Australia at Eurovision 2025.

While Go-Jo didn’t qualify for the Eurovision Grand Final, his post-Eurovision career has flourished. Some of the success has to be put to the ambitious promotional campaign across Europe during Eurovision which included cross-collaborations with Eurovision artists, and a strong presence at Eurovision pre-parties.

Austria's largest newspaper Kronen Zeitung has reported that the vote on Israel's participation has been moved forward to November.

A vote on their participation was planned for December at the EBU General Assembly.

However, the outlet published a letter from EBU President Delphine Ernotte-Cunci, revealing that the vote will be moved earlier.

"The Executive Board acknowledged that there is an unprecedented diversity of views concerning KAN’s participation among EBU Members," the letter reads.

"Given that the Union has never faced a divisive situation like this before, the Board agreed that this question merited a broader democratic basis for a decision, whereby all Members should be given a voice.

"Consequently, the Board decided to organize an extraordinary session of the General Assembly that would take place online in early November for Members to vote on the question of participation in the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest."

Full details are to be provided to EBU Members next week.

In a statement from Israeli broadcaster KAN, they said:

"Kan, the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation, expresses its firm hope that the Eurovision Song Contest will continue to uphold its cultural and non-political identity.

"The potential disqualification of Israel’s public broadcaster KAN – one of the contest’s long-standing, popular, and successful participants – would be especially troubling ahead of the 70th edition of the song contest, which was founded as a symbol of unity, solidarity, and fellowship. Any such move could have wide-ranging implications for the competition and the values for which the EBU stands.

"The EBU Statutes stipulate for a good reason that extraordinary decisions of this kind require a 75% majority of the General Assembly – an exceptional majority. We are confident that the EBU will safeguard the contest’s professional, cultural, and non-political character as it marks the historic 70 years milstone of uniting by music."

Despite Kan saying it needs a 75%, the EBU has confirmed that the online vote in November will be only by a simple majority of over 50%.

This week Eurovision 2025 winner from Austria, @johannesjjpietsch, and Australia’s own @itsjudeyork from Eurovision - Australia Decides 2022 had a catch up!! 🙌

The pair co-wrote JJ’s follow-up single to the Eurovision winning song Wasted Love, called Back to Forgetting.

Back to Forgetting was penned by Jude alongside JJ and acclaimed Swedish songwriter and producer Kristofer Strandberg. Jude also features in the backing vocals.

No stranger to collaborating with Eurovision royalty, Jude teamed up with 2016 Eurovision runner-up Dami Im in 2023 for a moving duet of her song In Between. He also co-wrote and produced Isaiah Firebrace’s last two singles, All I Can Give and BALANCE. Isaiah, of course, represented Australia at Eurovision in 2017 with Don’t Come Easy.

Musically, Back to Forgetting is a natural continuation of JJ’s Eurovision sound. The track blends classical and modern elements with operatic flair, building intensity through a powerful chorus that leaves a lasting impression. It’s theatrical, emotive, and undeniably catchy, a formula JJ is quickly becoming known for.

Keep streaming Back to Forgetting!!

Australia’s own Silia Kapsis has landed a role in a major K-pop film project.

The artists, who represented Cyprus at Eurovision 2024 with Liar, took to Instagram to share the news with her followers.

“I’m in a PARAMOUNT PICTURES FEATURE FILM!! This is every 18 yr old girls’ dream 🥹 lil Silia would be proud!”

The movie

The film is a collaboration between Paramount and HYBE America, the entertainment company behind global K-pop sensations including BTS and NewJeans.

It will be directed by Benson Lee, whose previous work Seoul Searching screened at Sundance, and is written by Eileen Shim.

Filming will begin later this year in South Korea, with a release date scheduled for February 12, 2027.

The story follows a Korean American teenager who auditions for a K-pop girl group against her parents’ wishes.

The production will be the first major Hollywood studio film to be shot entirely in South Korea, underlining its significance for both the Korean film industry and the global reach of K-pop.

From Eurovision to the silver-screen

For Silia, the role marks another milestone in a career that has already moved at lightning speed.

At just 17-years-old she burst onto the international stage at Eurovision in Malmö.

She qualified for the final and impressed viewers with a strong performance, including unforgettable choreography.

She returned to Eurovision in 2025 as Australia’s spokesperson to deliver our jury points.

Her future

Her participation capped off a whirlwind two years of singles, television appearances and performances in both Australia and Cyprus.

Now she adds “movie actor” to her resume before turning 19.

Her Eurovision performance introduced her to a huge audience, and she has now used that platform to launch herself into something that may be even bigger.

This week the @laurovision from the team outlines why up and coming artist @jacotene is the ideal choice to fly the Aussie flag in Vienna at Eurovision 2026.

JACOTÉNE is the stage name of Chelsea Jacotine, a nineteen-year-old singer hailing from Melbourne, who has already been dubbed a future icon of R&B and soul.

The young artist had a difficult start to life, having been diagnosed with leukaemia at six months old.

She was first inspired to focus on singing at the age of eight years old, when a young singer on The Voice Kids belted out the Alicia Keys hit Girl on Fire. From there, her mother enrolled her in singing lessons, and she met her manager through a performance at a showcase held by her singing school on Zoom during lockdown in 2022.

JACOTÉNE’s career breakthrough came at the age of 16, when she won Triple J Unearthed High in 2022 with her debut release, I Need Therapy, and was subsequently nominated for the Unearthed Artist of the Year award in the 2022 J Awards.

Although she may be a relative newcomer to the music scene, JACOTÉNE already boasts a wealth of live performance experience, performing at many festivals, including Laneway Festival, and iconic venues such as the Sydney Opera House, as well as sharing the stage with G-Flip and TEMS.

In June 2025, JACOTÉNE released her debut EP Untitled (Read My Mind). Since then, she has gone on to perform at her first headline shows in 2025 around Europe and the UK.

One of the first things that stands out about JACOTÉNE is her powerhouse voice. It's not often that a voice stops people in their tracks, but this is exactly the kind of voice an artist needs to stand out in a song contest like Eurovision, where standing out is half the battle.

For Australia in particular, this has been an uphill battle. Failing to qualify in the last two years of televote-only semi-finals, it's clear that a change of direction is needed: one that's authentic, commanding, and full of emotion.

This week the @laurovision from the team outlines why up and coming artist @jacotene is the ideal choice to fly the Aussie flag in Vienna at Eurovision 2026.

JACOTÉNE is the stage name of Chelsea Jacotine, a nineteen-year-old singer hailing from Melbourne, who has already been dubbed a future icon of R&B and soul.

The young artist had a difficult start to life, having been diagnosed with leukaemia at six months old.

She was first inspired to focus on singing at the age of eight years old, when a young singer on The Voice Kids belted out the Alicia Keys hit Girl on Fire. From there, her mother enrolled her in singing lessons, and she met her manager through a performance at a showcase held by her singing school on Zoom during lockdown in 2022.

JACOTÉNE’s career breakthrough came at the age of 16, when she won Triple J Unearthed High in 2022 with her debut release, I Need Therapy, and was subsequently nominated for the Unearthed Artist of the Year award in the 2022 J Awards.

Today is the International Day of Sign Languages, a day that marks the 70 million+ people who use signing worldwide.

It is not known how many different types of sign languages exist with estimates ranging all the way up to 300.

Just like verbal languages, there are differences across the world and someone who knows American Sign Language won’t necessarily know British Sign Language and vice versa.

To mark the occasion we look at the use of sign language at the Eurovision Song Contest, both in live performances and in other videos.

Today, 21 September, is National Independence Day in Malta, celebrating 61 years since the small island nation gained independence from the British Empire in 1964.

Malta holds a special place in the hearts of the Aussievision team - as the country with the largest Maltese diaspora outside of Malta, there are close ties between the two countries, and our team have been big fans of several Maltese entries over the years.

To celebrate Malta's Independence Day this year, we turn our attention to a true Eurovision icon - Jessica Muscat, better known to Eurovision fans as "Jessika that represented San Marino in 2018".

Jessika has participated in no less than 15 Maltese national finals with a mindboggling 18 songs - including one Junior Eurovision national final, and one participation as part of supergroup JVF.

Seven members of the Aussievision team ranked 16 of the 18 Jessika Muscat MESC entries, using the standard Eurovision scoring system (from 12 points down to 1 point).

Unfortunately, we were unable to source a recording of two of Jessika's three submissions to MESC 2017, Immortal and Let There Be Light, and so they have not been included in our team's ranking. Who We Are has also not been included in the ranking, to focus solely on Jessika's contributions to MESC.

Check out the top 10 here!

To mark the occasion we have ranked all 18 of Armenia's Eurovision entries based on Spotify streams.

We only included single, radio edit/mix, Eurovision versions of the songs. No remixes, acoustic or live versions etc.

Eurovision star @damiim has released her new single Bubble from her upcoming seventh studio album.

Bubble is co-written by Dami along with Bosnian born indie-folk singer-songwriter Amela Duheric, indie-pop songwriter and producer Josh Beattie and produced by long time collaborator Michael Tan.

Dami announced a new set of seven shows as part of her Stormy Weather East Coast Tour.

These shows will be stripped-back, jazz-inspired performances with Dami at the piano, joined by her guitarist.

Australia finds itself in uncharted territory, as we experience our first back-to-back non-qualification since debuting in 2015.

It’s clear that a shake-up is in order and @saskia_mckenna from the team believes that The Vanns could deliver just that.

The Vanns are a rock band hailing from beautiful Kiama in south NSW. They formed in 2012 and their current line-up is Jimmy Vann (lead vocals, guitar), Cameron Little (guitar, keyboard, backing vocals), Tom Switlek (bass) and Andrew Banovich (drums).

Their debut album Through the Walls was released in 2019 and features their most popular song Fake Friends.

They saw even more success with their sophomore album Last of Your Kind (2023) which landed at number 8 on the ARIA charts.

Last month, they released their third album All That’s in My Head alongside the announcement of an Australian tour. It’s clear that they are a band in their prime.

The sound of The Vanns is authentic. They share the surf rock sensibilities of many other current popular Aussie acts such as The Rions, Pacific Avenue and Old Mervs mixed with the heavier alt-rock guitars of Eskimo Joe.

Whilst many of their songs run on the longer side, they have shown they can write punchy songs with dynamic changes in short runtimes. My favourite example of this is the track True Friends off their 2023 album Last of Your Kind.

When people think of Australian music, they think of classic rock bands AC/DC, INXS, Cold Chisel, ICEHOUSE and The Church. Sending something so distinctly Australian could be a recipe for success.

And I get it, surf rock is a genre that doesn’t have the best reputation at Eurovision… we all remember Do It For Your Lover.

But I believe that it absolutely has a place on the Eurovision stage, and if any country can properly establish surf rock as a genre in the contest it’s Australia.

The Vanns have got a very familiar sound on the Australian scene, but to Europe it would be a novel and exciting switch-up, and there wouldn't be any direct competition from other countries. It's time we carve out our own niche.
