Bulgaria 2026: DARA - Bangaranga

[Penelope]

Hoping North Macedonia win on their return with a ropey ethno banger

I’m sure Jana Burčeska hasn’t got much on.

After her performing chops the first time around, I hope she DOES!

 

[Iguana]

I'm just SO EXCITED to see what the slipstream effect of this winning does to the contest for the next few years. LUDICROUS BANGERS! PROFOUNDLY SATISFYING SYNCHRONISED CHOREOGRAPHY ROUTINES!!

And no more opera!

 

[Tisch]

And no more opera!

YES. I'll accept one from Germany next year because they're always about five years behind with trends, but otherwise I do hope Monroe RIGBY underperforming will be the end of it.

Also Bangaranga NUMBER ONE IN SWEDEN

The other non-Swedish Eurovision entries that's happened for any time lately were Cha Cha Cha, Zitti i buoni, Satellite and Fairytale.

I imagine Felicia's probably happy enough with the 10 weeks she's already had!

I'm not going to let FACTS or REASON get in the way of being a hater.

 

[Apoca]

Still very curious to see if this has staying power, it feels like it might just be the first contender for summer banger of 2026 - on the mainland at least.

 

[Tisch]

I had it down as a latter TikTok viral hit, but now it's won and had it's moment already I don't see that happening.

A minor mainland Europe hit for the summer though, absolutely

 

[Penelope]

Currently delighted at how much the instrumental is utter FILTH

 

[Tisch]

"Clean" instrumental? DON'T THINK SO

 

[Iguana]

"Clean" instrumental? DON'T THINK SO

BIIIIIIIITCH!

 

[D5K]

Oh I do LOVE a dirty instrumental.

 

[OutSynk]

I still watch the performance DAILY.

 

[lolly]

I still watch the performance DAILY.

I think I've watched about 20 different reaction videos

 

[Penelope]

A second week at number one in Sweden

 

[Soldi]

Drops to #61 in the UK.

 

[Madison]

 

[Penelope]

I always love little reminders of just how many months of work goes into truly top-tier entries.

 

[Apoca]

Truly a Bangaranga for the ages.

I have the feeling she might get a decent-sized career across Europe out of it - one that’ll live somewhat outside of the ESC community as well with a couple of summer bops and filthy bangers.

 

[lolly]

I had reflective practice today, about 8 of us sitting around a meeting room on chairs in a circle. The urge to shout I'M THE BANGARAN was almost irresistible.

 

[OutSynk]

I dreamt about the song last night which very obviously was a reminder that I should stream it more and watch the performance again today.

 

[Soldi]

 

[Pingu]

Wasn’t Midnight Sun out last summer??

The sharts are so confusing

God, waking up to this really is like waking up to a thick line of KROKODIL

 

[OutSynk]

Close to the edge, I can feel it inside
Bodies on bodies and butt fuck to fly

 

[VoR]

This has now surpassed the total lifetime streams of Wasted Love.

 

[lolly]

I'MA LEAVE YOU SHOOK

 

[Penelope]

This has now surpassed the total lifetime streams of Wasted Love.

Amazed it took that long.
