Let's Get Physical 2021

Advance image DVD

In the words of the great 20th century philosopher and Eurovision star Olivia Newton John:
Let's get physical.

Here's a quick run-down of this years physical releases, CDs, LP's, 7"vinyls and cdsingles.
Only the ones available in the shops or via websites are here, promo stuff (if any) is in each country's section.

Singles

Belgium's Hooverphonic released a limited edition 7"inch vinyl single. The also have a new album out since May 7.

Iceland's entry was released on a 10" vinyl EP in 2023

Promo's have been spotted of: France, Serbia, Israel, Finland, Azerbaijan, Albania, Portugal, San Marino, Cyprus

Sanremo vs Eurovision

With just four or five albums (depends on The Roop) Eurovision is underrepresented on the release front.

To compare, Sanremo artists have 23 albums out on CD and LP plus five vinyl singles, two 12"inches and even a cassette single. 

Now with Eurovision in Italy next year I hope the seemingly healthy Italian music release culture rubs off on the 2022 Eurovision artists.

Find out about the Sanremo 2021 releases here in the Italy section. Updated August 1.

Compilations

The Official 2CD was released on April 23 

The digital version was released on April 17 along with the collection of karaokes/instrumentals.

The DVD (3 discs) is planned on June 25.

Sieneke's Sha La Lie is featured in the first version as released on the first cdsingle. (Thanks Frank)

Eres Tu and Love Shine A Light are missing, even though they were both  big hits (#3 & #4 resp) and you'd expect Katrina to be there after last years tribute show. (Thanks Eric)

Cent Mille Chansons by Frida Boccara is not her Eurovision entry but it was a hit in the Netherlands in the same year. Ooops

Now That's What I Call Eurovision (U.K.)
