It’s January, and so what better time to talk about the songs competing for the Eurovision crown this coming May.
Already national broadcaster websites are buzzing with previews of national finals and rumours of who will carry their hopes into the next competition.
Armenia’s 1TV has revealed all 20 of the competing songs in Depi Evratesil 2018.
This year, the contest will take part over three stages: live shows, a semi-final and the grand finale.
20 artists will present their original songs during the live shows, where the result will be decided by the international jury and the viewers at home.
The competing songs are available on a YouTube channel. The first live show will air on February 3.
