Cereal in MRSOTY

Cereal is a former participant of the first cycle of MRSOTY, and has participated in the first 11 times since his debut as one of the 10 participants in the first edition of 1967.

Cereal quickly emerged as the most successful MRSOTY participant during his time of activity, as he managed to win on four separate occasions: 1969, 1973, 1974 and 1978. Three of his victories featured a selected song by Queen. Outside of his victories, Cereal never achieved any other top 3 results and was disqualified twice: in 1971 and 1979, the latter of which was his last appearance at MRSOTY.
