MagikRush Song Of The Year 1973

MagikRush Song Of The Year 1973 was the 7th edition of MRSOTY. Just like last year, the same 12 participants also took part in this edition. Old Age Is A Bop originally wanted to make his debut and submitted a song, but got disqualified due to his failure to submit his top. This would push back his debuting year to 1983, as that was the first edition after 1973 that he was able to send in a song and then submit his top.

The 1973 edition was won by Cereal with "Keep Yourself Alive" by Queen. This was Cereal's second victory in the contest, with him becoming the second participant with more than one win. The top 3 was rounded out by Sbeve and Indigo Marshmallow with "Money" by Pink Floyd and "Radar Love" by Golden Earring respectively. The top 3 was each separated by only one point margin, making it the closest top 3 in the history of MRSOTY. On top of that, this was Indigo Marshmallow's 3rd place finish for the second time in a row. This would also be the final time when the winner would receive less than 100 points.

TheBricker's choice for this edition of MRSOTY was "La Mente Vola" by Alphataurus, notably including lyrics in Italian, which was unique at the time as it was the first time a song was chosen for the competition that had lyrics in a language that wasn't English to be featured this prominent.
