Marija Serifovic has won the title of 2007 Song of the year according to the readers and members of esctoday.com. She takes over the mantle from Mihai Traistariu with her Eurovision Song Contest winning song, Molitva. The song is composed by Vladimir Graić and lyrics are by Sa�a Milo�ević.

The song gave Serbia its first victory at the world's biggest music competition and has been voted as the best song in the competition by the Eurovision Song Contest fans.

Marija Serifovic's Molitva won the second annual esctoday.com song of the year award by a large margin. With 21,000 votes cast, she took 28.9% of the vote, beating Magdi Ruzsa's Unsubstantial blues into second place with 16.1% of the votes cast.

The result is in huge contrast to last year, when Mihai and Carola were separated by just one vote. They finished fourth and fifth at the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest. This year, fans have decided that the winning Eurovision Song Contest song deserves to be named as Song of the year for 2007.
