  • Well, that music can only mean one thing.

  • It is time for our weekly global Countdown with Monocles senior correspondent Fernando Augusto Pacheco.

  • And Fernando, it's a very special, special one this week, isn't it?

  • Very special.

  • We are looking at Eurovision, of course, which is happening this weekend.

  • And usually, Vinnie, I have to say I choose my top five favorite songs on the global countdown, but this time I decided to be a little bit fair because, you know, this show, we look at the charts, so I'm looking at the bookies favorite.

  • So the five songs we're gonna hear right now are the five songs who are the favorites to win the award.

  • I mean, they might get it wrong, you know, they might not even be in the top 10.

  • But here are the.

  • It is a very complicated voting process, isn't it, that's involved.

  • So very complicated.

  • And there's a lot of different tastes with the public, not necessarily agree with the jury.

  • So there's a lot of little changes here and there.

  • Okay, well, let's hear number five.

  • It's Ireland.

  • And of course, Ireland is one of the most special countries.

  • Eurovision wise, they won seven times.

  • They're tied with Sweden and they're once again one of the favorites.

  • Who knows, they might get eight and beat Sweden for that.

  • It's a very unusual entry.
