By an interesting coincidence, that group that got its start by winning the Eurovision contest in 1974, ABBA, just made its first visit to a recording studio in a couple of decades and has two new songs coming out.

Finland’s Lordi had the best performance in the Eurovision contest ever.

More details: First trannie competed in 1998; first trannie won in 2014. (The 1998 one represented Israel).

Israel’s Netta Barzilai was the Grand Final winner for her song “Toy.”

Next year’s Eurovision song contest will be held in Jerusalem, Israel.
