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 third Eurovision song to be voted No.1 on the Eurovision Top 250 is Iceland's Yohanna with 'Is It True?'. Croatia's Danijela with 'Neka mi ne svane', a classic Balkan ballad with an epic reveal. She knocked off Croatia's Danijela with 'Neka mi ne svane' from 1998.
