Schlager a style of European popular music that is generally a catchy instrumental accompaniment to vocal pieces of pop music with simple, happy-go-lucky, and often sentimental lyrics.
Typical tracks are either sweet, sentimental ballads with a simple, catchy melody or light pop tunes. Lyrics typically center on love, relationships, and feelings.
Schlager is a loanword from German. It also came into some other languages. The style has been frequently represented at the Eurovision Song Contest and has been popular since the contest began in 1956.

The EUROVISION is an international televised song competition organized yearly since the 1950s.
The final competition takes place on May 13th after 2 semi-finals during the week, in which the final contesting countries perform their songs live. Audiences and the jury of professionals from each country vote for the winner.
The winning country usually hosts next year. This year’s event is held in Liverpool, United Kingdom, instead of Ukraine who was last year’s winner.
