They say that history is written by the winners. And for Eurovision that is mostly the case. But that doesn’t mean that we forget about everyone else. Often, some would even suggest that the best songs always come second. We couldn’t possibly confirm or deny such a theory. We choose our favourite runner-up from: Turkey's maNga (2010), Italy's Raphael Gualazzi (2011), Russia's Buranovskiye Babushki (2012), Azerbaijan's Farid Mammadov (2013), The Netherlands' Common Linnets (2014), Russia's Polina Gagarina (2015), Australia's Dami Im (2016), Bulgaria's Kristian Kostov (2017), Cyprus' Eleni Foureira (2018) and Italy's Mahmood (2019).
