#DictatorsWeek. Germany's 1979 Eurovision entry, it came fourth but was a big European hit, and was massively successful in Germany. (Drove me mad during my summer holiday there!) Genghis Kahn was a hit of a different kind, it's estimated he killed 40 million people or 11% of the world's population in his Mongolian raids, but according to a genetic study approximately 35 million men living today are his direct descendants.
