In 2022, Sam Ryder took home second place for the United Kingdom with his track, "Spaceman". Hailed as an uplifting pop-rock track comparable to that of British music legend Elton John, Ryder secured 466 points, the UK's highest score in over 20 years. Not only was the star responsible for the UK's success on the show, but the singer himself went on to peak at number two on the UK Singles Chart, and was even certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry. He may not have won Eurovision, but he's a winner in our hearts!
