1- Magnifico - Silvija (1998)
This song became evergreen in Slovenia. It's still playing on radio stations. If you go on a roadtrip from Trieste to Hungary or vice versa and listen to some local radio station, there's a good chance you'll hear it
I personally love it too and its closest eurovision relative would be
"I didn't know" - Both are disco pop with a charismatic performer with a deep sexy voice.
Though he never went to eurovision he was behind Sestre in 2002 as a songwriter and is very famous in the whole ex-yu region.
2- Rebeka Dremelj & Domen Kumer - Noro se ujameva (2006)
This is my first EMA memory as a fan. (I remember some older stuff, but the very next day i moved on with my life) This however made me obsessed. It's so fun and cheeky in the same way as my future personal eurovision winners are: -
Romania 2010 and
UK 2015. The entire song is basically a conversation between the two and i love that.
I'm so sad that Rebeka went to eurovision with a song that wasn't that great as she had some great hits in her time.
Domen is still making absolute bangers in my opinion but i think rasmuslights would disagree and that's all you need to know
3- Langa - Za svobodo divjega srca (2008)
This was the first time i felt like we could get a top 10 result and i still think so. The song has ethnic sounds that were all the rage at the time and they still are today. It also includes your typical balkan ballad elements which again proved to be very sucsessful at the time. They won the first round of voting, but in the superfinal i think there was some anti voting going on because Langa are a gypsy duo. It still makes me frustrated when i think about it. They tried two more times after that with similarly good songs and sadly gave up after that.
