As many fans know, the running order usually gives us an idea of which song is the one to beat. A number of artists in the competition this year are returning from previous years such as Benjamin Ingrosso and Mariette, who are both contenders and will more than likely be given memorable places in the running order.
We really want to know what order you would put the songs in if YOU were Christer Bjorkman and co. Let us know below.
