On 3 November 2014, Belgium's French-language broadcaster,
Radio Television Belge Francophone
(RTBF), announced Nottet as the Belgian representative for the
Eurovision Song Contest 2015
to be held in
Vienna, Austria
.
[3]
[6]
On 10 March 2015, "
Rhythm Inside
", his entry for the
Eurovision Song Contest 2015
, was presented (co-written by his voice mentor). The song went to number one on both the Flanders and Wallonia Ultratop charts. Performing in the first semi final of the competition, Nottet was successful in progressing to the final, coming second in his semi final with 149 points. During the Jury Final (following Australia), he could be barely seen on stage due to heavy use of smoke machines and pyrotechnics from the Australian Act. His delegation was rumoured to have lodged a complaint about this, saying that it would affect part of their final score. While they requested to perform again, this was apparently denied, instead telling juries to disregard the smoke. In the Grand Final, the Belgian entry scored a total of 217 points leaving "
Rhythm Inside
" in fourth position overall, giving Belgium its first top five placement since 2003. It received the maximum 12 points from three countries; Netherlands, France and Hungary. The song was certified Platinum for selling 30,000 copies in Belgium. Nottet has released three different music videos for Rhythm Inside (including one called the "Alice in Nightmareland" version). After the contest, "
Rhythm Inside
" reached the top ten in the Austrian, Lithuanian and Russian Music Charts, achieving top 20 in Finland, Iceland and Sweden and also charting in Australia, UK, France, Switzerland and many more European countries. On 24 October 2015, he took part in and won the
sixth season
of the French TV show
Danse avec les stars
.
