UK Eurovision Entry Remember Monday Faces Odds Amidst Setback in Basel

Remember Monday, the UK’s country-pop girl group, is set to represent Britain at the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest in Basel with their song "What The Hell Just Happened?". The trio, composed of Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull, and Charlotte Steele, has a strong background in musical theatre and previously competed in The Voice UK. Despite their experience and optimism, bookmakers rank them as long shots to win, with odds ranging from 66/1 to 100/1 and a higher likelihood of finishing last. The UK has not won Eurovision since 1997, and recent years have seen underwhelming results, though there are signs of modest improvement in betting odds this year. Sweden remains the favorite to win the contest, with Austria and France also highly ranked. While Remember Monday’s chances are slim according to experts, the band remains hopeful, bolstered by encouragement from previous UK winners who acknowledge political challenges in Eurovision voting.
