All the Australian songs that have made the National Final Countdown


The national final season for Eurovision 2025 is almost upon us! From November to March, many countries across Europe will hold national selections to choose their act to perform in Basel.


Before this begins, the countdown is on for Eurofans from all over the world to vote in the National Final Countdown.


Fans can choose their 10 favourite songs from past national finals who didn't make it to the Eurovision Song Contest.


The top 100 songs, as voted by fans, will then be revealed in a special broadcast and countdown on ESCape Radio on Saturday 9 November (times and details to come). This will be the eighth edition of the National Final Countdown.



We've taken a look back on the Eurovision - Australia Decides songs that have made it to the National Final Countdown 100.


Electric Fields - 2000 and Whatever

Highest position: 1st



Fan-favourite Electric Fields and their banger 2000 and Whatever has featured in the National Final top 100 every year since it competed in the inaugural Australia Decides in 2019. The song has done so well in four of the top 100s that it won the title two years in a row. It then on to finish runner-up in 2021 and 2022 and 3rd in 2023.


Voyager - Dreamer

Highest position: 5th



It's no surprise that Voyager's Dreamer finished very high in the National Final Countdown. It was a fan favourite at the 2022 Australia Decides winning the televote. In the 2022 countdown, the song finished in 14th place before rising to 5th place in 2023 off the back of their Eurovision appearance.


Jaguar Jonze - Little Fires

Highest position: 10th



This is Jaguar Jonze's second song in the National Final Countdown. In 2022 she was back for a second bite of the cherry with Little Fires which won the jury vote at Australia Decides. The song came in at an impressive 10th place in the 2022 edition of the countdown and finished 65th last year.


Jaguar Jonze - Rabbit Hole

Highest position: 10th



In 2020, Jaguar Jonze gave us a visual feast at her first Australia Decides. The song Rabbit Hole has appeared in all National Final Countdowns since then and has done very well with 10th place (2020), 22nd place (2021) and 19th place (2022). It did drop a little in 2023 to 43rd so hopefully, it keeps its Top 50 place.


Didirri - Raw Stuff

Highest position: 25th



Didirri's gorgeous ballad Raw Stuff from the 2020 Australia Decides has featured in the top 100 of the Countdown on two occasions. In 2020, Raw Stuff came in at 25th place, and in 2021, the song was in 32nd place. The song missed the Top 100 in 2022, finishing 180th and fell outside the Top 250 in 2023.



Sheppard - On My Way

Highest position: 36th



Trio Sheppard delivered the anthem On My Way at the first Australia Decides. Their song had appeared in all four editions of the countdown finishing 61st, 36th, 50th and 65th place. Last year it dropped out to 121st for the first time. Can it climb its way back?


Charley - I Suck At Being Lonely

Highest position: 41st



Charley's heartfelt ballad I Suck At Being Lonely appeared in the 2022 Australia Decides. The song made the Top 100 of that year, with Charley finishing in 41st place and then 83rd in 2023.

Casey brought us her signature powerhouse vocal with Proud at the 2020 Australia Decides where she slayed and brought home the televote win. in the 2021 National Final Countdown, Proud came in at 64th place. In the 2022 Countdown, the song missed the top 100 but did finish in 238th place before dropping out last year.


Vanessa Amorosi - Lessons of Love

Highest position: 66th



At the 2020 Australia Decides, Vanessa Amorosi certainly made an impact on stage when she emerged from an upturned car. Lessons of Love has appeared in the National Final Countdown on two occasions: in 66th place in 2020 and in 98th place in 2021. In 2022, the song finished just outside the Top 100 in 102nd place.
