(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); A review of past Eurovision winners’ career paths shows that victory does not guarantee success on the international charts. Which stars survived the day after, and who disappeared from public attention? The victory in Eurovision — a blessing or a curse? On the one hand, there is no other stage in the world that delivers such massive exposure in a single night. On the other hand, the list of one-hit singers who won and disappeared is endless. Can a singer who takes first place really succeed in the tough international market, or are they doomed to remain forever inside the Eurovision archive?
