I think because they're entries that are generally agreed are good. Very few people's number 1 but generally liked and deserving of qualification, while Russia is more a 'you either love or hate it' entry.Why exactly is in the Lead? And why is second and outside the Top10?
Because songs which are agreeable will tend to be in top 10 of all people , and yet not in the Top 1/2/3 of most . I have both Cyprus and Ireland in my overall Top 5 , but I have hardly seen people who have Ireland in their bottom 5. People will not vote for their 10th spot song , that's why it's difficult to predict anything from polls with that many options to choose.Why exactly is in the Lead? And why is second and outside the Top10?
Damn so underrated, just when I like them for once.
