36 (- 1) : Sergey Lazarev - You Are The Only One (LW: 35 / WO: 6 / PEAK: 07)

Even if Russian pop singer Sergey Lazarev is straight, he has a lot of gay fans since … like … forever, or at least since the duo SMASH! He's cute, he's a good singer and performer, and  the abs, man, the abs … He will represent Russia at the Eurovision Song Contest in Sweden with this song, and his already a favourite for the winning ! Since two years now (including that year), Russia selected artists appreciated by gay communities in Europe, probably to avoid the booing. Will he be booed in Sweden ? That's all the question.
