There’s still lots going on around the world of Eurovision, even after Azerbaijan’s victory on Saturday night…
So we have another Eurovision List of stories, links and videos from around the web. If you have something of interest over the next few days you’d like featured here, get in touch with the team at ESC Insight via Twitter (@escinsight).
Everything EC Insight covered at the Song Contest
Top of the list today is our own list as we go through the podcasts, articles, interviews, stories and links from ESC Insight for the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest. Relive the build-up and the fortnight in Dusseldorf from a single page.
Every day is Top of the Pops day
Back in my day, you had to wait till Monday to nip down to the Specialist Record Store and ask them to order an obscure Moldovan band. Now you just need to log in to iTunes, and it has an immediate impact on the charts. Danny at ESC Daily gives us the run-down of the four songs that made the UK Top 40, and a look round the rest of the continent.

Weren’t the postcards “Wonderful”?
And thanks to Keith Mills (All Kinds of Everything) for answering the biggest question of the Contest. What was the music playing over the postcards?
