For the fifth time, Australia voted for their top 100 Eurovision songs of all time, thanks to the amazing people at OGAE Australia. And what better way to celebrate a public holiday than to have a Eurovision takeover!

Io, Paul and Brent braved some controversial decisions in the JOY studio, as many of your favourites landed in the fifth hour of the countdown. David was so annoyed about last year, that he even shared his thoughts about Eric Saade!
