AZURE RAY WINS!  

As always, preselections, as seen on this blog, select songs to compete in The Countdown International, where individual songs, one from each nation, entered by nations from all over the world compete.  

The February competition had no fewer than SIXTY different nations competing, and the Azure Ray song "Larraine, as entered by the US, captured the top score!  Big thanks to everyone in the international competition who voted for the song, and of course, thanks to everyone who participated in the US preselections to select the song in the first place.
