News Round-up of the day. In the annual so called Homo Top 100 in Flanders, Dana International climbed up to the first place.

Last year Diva didn't mange to come higher than a 4th position, this year it beat Bart Kaëll (Belgian national final 1983/1987) that got the top spot last year. Other eurovision entries in the top 100 include Soldiers of Love (Belgium 1987) on # 8, Je t'adore (Belgium 2006) on # 27, Liefde is een kaartspel (Belgium 1996) on # 65, Gelukkig zijn (Belgium 1975) on # 73, Je ne sais quoi (Iceland 2010) on #82 and Ooh Aah Just a little bit (UK 1996) on #85. Would there be a link between Eurovision and being gay, we wonder?
