I believe it cannot be released before September 1st of the prior year, so songs for 2026 cannot be released before September 1st this year.

Thank you for the clarification!

Blood and Glitter is a great song and an awesome performance, by the way.

This is why die-hard Eurovision fans often wish each other a Happy New Year on September 1st rather than January 1st.

Oh really! I've rarely met another fan in real life. I'm a constant evangelist among the ignorant masses.
