The list includes legendary 1974 Swedish winners ABBA with their hit song \'Waterloo\', the UK\'s Buck\'s Fizz - who took home the crown in 1981 with \'Making Your Mind Up\' - and the more recent Netta Barzilai, who won the contest for Israel in 2018 with fan-favourite \'Toy\'.

Fans will able to vote online for the ultimate song during \'Eurovision: Come Together\' after the songs have been broadcast on BBC One.

The concept was developed after this year\'s European Song Contest - which was due to be held in Rotterdam in the Netherlands - was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Following the vote, the \'Europe Shine a Light\' show will showcase all 41 songs that would have competed this year.

What\'s more, host Graham Norton will be seen talking to the UK\'s James Newman, who would have performed \'My Last Breath\'.

The 34-year-old singer and the other contestants have been told they are not allowed to use the same songs for next year\'s competition, but he has begged BBC bosses to give him another shot in 2021.

James - who is hoping to bring the crown back to the UK for the first time in more than two decades - recently said: "I\'m a firm believer in visualising what you want to achieve in life so I was imagining myself standing on stage winning, because you\'ve got to. It felt like there was a lot of positivity around it.

"I started something and I really want to finish it. I was on such a journey. If I got the opportunity to go next year, I would love to."
