Today, the thirty songs that are in run for the Hungarian ticket for the forthcoming Eurovision Song Contest were uploaded to the Hungarian broadcaster’s (MTV) offical YouTube channel.
The selection will begin really soon, on 25 January, where 10 songs will battle in the first heat. The final of the Hungarian national selection (A Dal) is scheduled to 22 February, so in one and a half months we will know the Hungarian participant for the 2014 edition.
Just like last year, this year’s edition will feature six shows, and the selection will go on for five weeks.
You can find the offical playlist for the Hungarian hopefuls for the Eurovision here! (The list is in alphabetical order, but it doesn’t match with the list below as last names comes first in Hungarian.)

Hungary débuted in the contest 20 years ago, in 1994, when Friderika brought home the Central European country’s best placing ever, finishing fourth with the song Kinek mondjam el vétkeimet? Last year, Hungary chose ByeAlex, who managed to finish in the 10th place on the final evening with his song Kedvesem.
