VA comps are fun and usually fairly cheap. "Heartbreakers vol. II" kicks off with "Caravan of Love", you just know it will be good. But wait, who thought to sneak Johnny Logan in there, as track 2? What a downer. Isn't he some kind of Eurovision cheesemeister? Shame, because the rest of the comp holds great promise: lots of hot soul and breezy pop, but then this Eurovision guy... Has Eurovision even given us anything of worth since 1976?

He has every right to be on there.
The personification of Eurovision. Even more than Abba.
And don't get me started on Lordi or Maneskin.

It's an incongruous comp; people who listen to Isley Jasper Isley don't listen to Johnny Logan, and vice versa.

Two times Eurovision winner! Three times if you count a song he wrote for another winning "artiste".

What's another year is a very ordinary song, but Hold me now is one of the greats, and he performed it brilliantly at the ESC.
