'its my time' sung by Jade Ewen came fifth in the Eurovision song contest held in Moscow, Russia in 2009. It became the most successful entry in the Eurovision song contest from the UK since 2009. The song itself was written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Diane Warren specifically for Eurovision.

It's pretty clear from a scan of the Eurovision winners (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Eurovision_Song_Contest_winners) that ABBA's Waterloo (the winner in 1974) is by far the most successful song to come out of the contest. It charted in the top 10 around the world (including the US and Canada) and peaked at number one in many countries including the UK and most of Europe. Interesting footnote: one exception was Belgium, where it never charted at all. (The actual battle of Waterloo in 1815 was in Belgium.)
In 2010, when the question was asked, Ireland were the 10th country to perform in the final and they finished in 23rd place.

Romania came 19th out of 25 countries in Eurovision 2009.
In 2012, Ireland (represented by Jedward) came 19th out of 26 contestants in the final.
They finished in 5th place.
The United Kingdom have come 2nd in the Eurovision Song Contest on a record 15 occasions to date.
Ireland has won it more times than any country, but the Eurovision Song Contest does not have a home. It will be held in Ireland again, the year after Ireland next win it.
Norway has come last in Eurovision 11 times, the most out of any country.

ABBA's winning 1974 entry "Waterloo" is most likely to be the biggest international hit from the Eurovision Song Contest.

Blue represented the United Kingdom with their song "I can". They automatically qualified for the final (as the UK is a Big 5 country) and came 11th out of the 25 finallists.
