This is not Domenico Modugno’s only entry in this list, so we’ll keep it brief here. Richards’s Eurovision 1973 effort “Power to all my friends” almost made it to the Billboard Hot 100, falling short at Number 109, but Richards did finally have a golden period in the United States with the Adult Contemporary crowd in the late ’70s with a few Top 40 Billboard Hot 100 hits (“Devil Woman” hit Number 6) in and a great duet with Olivia Newton-John (“ Suddenly” hit Number 20) in the early ’80s.ġ0.) Domenico Modugno – “Piove (Ciao, Ciao Bambino)” – Italy – 1959 – Number 97 – Eurovision 1959 6th placed: “Congratulations” popped in at Number 99 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the summer of 1968. By the time Cliff Richard – controversially, if you believe the conspiracy theory that Spain’s despot General Franco rigged the voting – came in 2nd at Eurovision 1968 with “Congratulations,” he had not had a charting Billboard Hot 100 song in four years. While racking up chart-topper after chart-topper in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and the Netherlands, the hits were intermittent in the United States. As rock kids in the ’90s had parents telling them about Jars of Clay being a wholesome alternative to Alice in Chains, so Richards was the wholesome antidote to The Beatles and Elvis Presley. Given he was not shy about expressing his Christian faith, he was sort of positioned as a clean version of the British Invasion bands.

Richards’s first hit was “Living Doll,” which hit Number 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1959, but thereafter his management seemed unsure how to position him. Richard was an international superstar with charting topping efforts everywhere, but Richards’s management seemed intent to bungle his attempts at the charts in the States. The United States has had an odd relationship with Cliff Richard. Similarly, Eurovision 1964 2nd placed Matt Monro (“I love the little things”) does not qualify despite charting at Number 23 with a cover of Udo Jurgens’s 6th placed Eurovision 1964 entry “Warum, nur warum” (“Walk Away”).Īdditionally, though Lordi and Netta hit various Billboard Charts after their wins (Mainstream Rock and Dance, respectively), their entries to did not hit the main Billboard Hot 100 chart.īut in ascending order, here are the eleven other Eurovision entries that also charted on the United States’s Billboard Hot 100.ġ1.) Cliff Richard – “Congratulations” – United Kingdom – 1968 – Number 99 – Eurovision 1968 Runner-Up: Below, we have listed the other eleven entries.Īdditionally, four versions of Vicky Leandros’s Eurovision 1967 winning “L’amour est blue” (“Love is blue”) hit the Billboard Hot 100, including Paul Mauriat’s version staying at Number 1 for five weeks in 1968, but sadly not her own version, hence her omission here. Landing on the Billboard Hot 100 is historically significant for Linn due to the rarity of Eurovision entries landing on that chart.
“Snap” is also the lowest-placed Eurovision entry to chart in the United States, with her 20th place being lower placed than Gina G’s 8th place Eurovision 1996 entry “Ooh Aah… Just a Little Bit.” One year after Duncan Laurence’s Eurovision 2019 winning “Arcade” hit Number 30, which broke a 24 year drought of no Eurovision entries on the American charts, “Snap” finally broke in after spending weeks on Spotify charts, in thousands of TikTok videos, and the Billboard Global 200. “Snap,” which came in 20th for Armenia at Eurovision 2022, entered the United States’ Billboard Hot 100 chart yesterday, landing on the country’s main singles chart at Number 97.
