Just like the title says: in July, nominate up to two albums recorded by artists who won Eurovision. (Exceptions: ABBA and Celine Dion.) The nominated album doesn't have to include the song that won Eurovision, it just has to be the same artist.
Update: nominations are now open to any album by anyone who competed in Eurovision, except ABBA and Celine Dion.

Celine Dion won Eurovision? Wow, there is something for the "Today I learned" thread.

I'll start it with the Ukrainian Ruslana, "Wild Dances". Her song won in 2004, and she has a hell of a bio.

Trance isn't exactly a fascinating genre to me, but let's try out a record from someone before they won the contest: Dana International, "Umpatampa" (Israel). Seems like a mouthfull.

I've watched many Eurovision Song Contests dating back to the early 90s boring Irish dominance era up to this year's boring repeat winner from Sweden. I'll keep drinking this garbage though - if only to catch a glimpse of the oddballs who don't tend to get as close to victory as I feel they deserve.
As a result, I am happy to be entirely predictable and nominate 2006 winners Lordi with their album The Arockalypse from the same year.

What are people who watch the contests' favorite Eurovision losers/picks for worst Eurovision entries?

Are there a bunch of people who watch this massively popular thing?
Since we only have three nominations, nomination eligibility has been expanded, see above. Poll goes up Monday.

(reads listicle) Heh heh, 69.
Well, I'll weigh in here - all my friends make fun of these guys, but the little I've heard of them sounds kinda fun, so let's try Maneskin - Rush! (2023), whose 2.0 review from Pitchfork they should put on the cover like David Lynch did with Ebert and Siskel's TWO THUMBS DOWN that one time.
