Revisiting the Rankings: 7

Overrated: Norway 2010
Maybe it's because I tend to like songs by this songwriter, but this was placed much too high. It's simply too weak and quiet – I have to turn the volume up high in order to hear this one, in comparison with other tracks on that year's album. It's not beautiful and delicate, just out of place.

Underrated: Hungary 2011
On paper this song has a lot against it: sounds like a song from 10 years earlier, shortened from a longer version, bilingual (never as effective as it could be), “fanwank.” Those factors and a killer melody come together to create one beautiful whole.

Trivia: Croatia 2006 predicted the rise in popularity of Zumba. Surely in the future we will uncover more messages in its prophetic text.

Other Songs: Slovenia 2007, Russia 2008, Armenia 2009, Ukraine 2012, San Marino 2013
