The Top 100 Songs You've (Probably) Never Heard – 2009

It’s that time of year again! It seems like the summer flew by and autumn is knocking on our door with a new Top 100 list in tow. I’m sure you know the rules by now, but if you forgot, here is a brief reminder. Every year, we count down the top 100 Eurovision-related songs (songs that competed in the Eurovision Song Contest or competed to compete in the ESC). Unlike the hundreds of other fan blogs, the songs in this list are ranked using a complex mathematical formula that examines a song’s quality and, most importantly, its potential for success outside of Europe (i.e. mostly North America).
This year’s list was whittled down from over 600 songs from 43 countries, 35 of which placed at least one song in the top 100. Astute readers may notice that this is down from last year’s high of 36 countries. In fact, many will be surprised that a few nations that have previously found much success on past lists are absent from this one. How exciting. Now, onto the list…

#100
Miss Kiss Kiss Bang
Alex Swings, Oscar Sings
Germany

Germany’s only eligible entry places in the hundredth spot mostly because it’s Germany’s only eligible entry. That being said, it is a fun, pseudo-swing ditty with a shot at success stateside. Why, you ask; simply because it was featured on Oprah last spring. If the big O had told her 7 million strong audience to buy this single, you’d be watching this year’s #1 instead of #100.
