Less than 48 hours to go and we will know if Johnny Logan has managed to make it to the Grand Final of the RTE Song Contest show “The Hit”.

This is a close battle between Johnny and Duke Special. Whoever finishes higher in the Irish Charts makes it into the Grand Final – pure and simple.

Johnny Logan and the song “Prayin” – composed by Alan Earls – is at #17 in the overall charts yet it is still #1 in Irish Rock charts!

Duke Special’s song “1969” – composed by Aaron Hackett – is at #20 in the overall charts yet it is #10 in the Irish Pop charts.

RTE have very kindly sent Eurovision Ireland a High Quality video of Johnny Logan’s live performance from the show last Friday.

If you have not seen “The Hit” before ,then this is the concept of the show here
