You may have been slightly confused over the two polls establishing a Top 250 for 2023. We’re not going to go through the reasons why there were two polls. There are other avenues for that. But at Eurovision Ireland we thought we’d look how Sweden’s songs fared. Now the full results from the ESCRadio poll aren’t available just yet but we will cover what we know.
