Remember Monday’s Eurovision Flop: How Short Odds and Snubs Led to a Record Deal?
In a stunning turn of events at the 69th Eurovision Song Contest held at St. Jakobshalle Arena in Basel, Austria’s entry, JJ, clinched victory, leaving the UK’s trio, Remember Monday, in a disappointing 19th place with just 88 points. Despite initial hopes surrounding their catchy country track, "What The Hell Just Happened?", the British band faced another humiliation, marking their second consecutive year of poor performance in the contest.
The group, composed of Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull, and Charlotte Steele, experienced a slight improvement in score from last year’s 46-point performance by Olly Alexander, yet fell short of public favor, receiving zero points in the popular vote. Commentator Graham Norton had previously touted them as a unique act with great potential, underscoring their flawless harmonies and strong vocals, yet the night ended in disappointment.
However, a silver lining emerged: Remember Monday has signed a significant record deal with Andrew Lloyd Webber, indicating a promising future despite the contest results. The band emphasized their resilience in the face of online criticism, showcasing a strong commitment to their artistry. As political tensions surged in this year’s contest, with performances overshadowed by protests, Austria’s JJ stood out, earning a total of 436 points to secure the win.
