UK Eurovision act Mae Muller handed huge running order boost months before contest

As she looks set to make a big dent in the top 40 this week with her entry I Wrote A Song, the United Kingdom's Eurovision act, Mae Muller, has been handed a massive running order boost, months before the contest.

After loads of speculation and chart stars like Birdy and Freya Ridings being linked with the role, it was officially confirmed on Thursday, March 9 that 25-year-old Mae would be flying the flag for the UK at Eurovision this year in Liverpool. And the 25-year-old, who has previously supported Little Mix on tour, has caused quite a stir already, shooting straight to number 1 hours after I Wrote A Song's release and now looking on course to enter the top 20 of the official charts by the end of this week.

Mae gave her first TV interview about doing Eurovision 2023 in a special programme which aired right before The Apprentice on BBC One last week, sharing her excitement at getting to compete in the world famous event.
