The award-winning band also had two number-one albums on the UK Albums Chart.
Olly Alexander was internally selected by the BBC to represent the United Kingdom at the 2024 contest in Malmö with his song “Dizzy”. As a member of the Big Five, the United Kingdom automatically qualifies for the Grand Final.
