A record breaking 22 countries found their way to Brussels for this contest with Greece and Italy returning to the competition again. The Wallonian entry won the 1986 contest, but in 1987 the Flemish broadcaster BRT was responsible for the Belgian entry. BRT also wanted to organize the contest but the Wallonian broadcaster RTBf could not agreed with that and insisted on organizing the Eurovision Song Contest 1987 themselves. Johnny Logan won for Ireland, he became the first artist that won the contest twice.
