2015: Eurovision Song Contest
On 3 November 2014, Belgium's French language state broadcaster, Radio Télévision Belge Francophone (RTBF), announced Nottet as the Belgian representative for the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 to be held in Vienna, Austria.[1][3] 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 1 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 2nd in the 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 pyro 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 and while they requested to perform again, this was apparently denied instead telling juries to disregard the smoke. In the final, the Belgian entry scored a total of 217 points leaving "Rhythm Inside" in 4th position overall giving Belgium its first Top 5 placement since 2003. It received the maximum 12 points from 3 Countries; Netherlands, France & Hungary. The song was certified Platinum for selling 30,000 copies in Belgium. Nottet has released 3 different music video for Rhythm Inside (Including one called the "Alice in Wonderland" Version). After the contest "Rhythm Inside" reached Top 10 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.
Loic has sung at NJR park Uitmarkt Symphonica. On 24 October 2015, he took part in and won the sixth series of the French TV show Danse avec les stars.[4]
