Chruno made its debut in the 9th Edition of the Internatia Song Contest.
The first Chruno's representative was Mylène Farmer, a French singer, songwriter, occasional actress and author. "Lonely Lisa", the song Chruno entered, hit the top of the charts worldwide. She has sold more than 30 million records and is among the most successful recording artists of all time in France. She holds the record for the most number one hits in the French charts, with thirteen to date - eight of which were consecutive.
The second Chruno's representative was Havana Brown, an Australian DJ, singer and dancer. She touring with international artists, including Britney Spears, Rihanna, the Pussycat Dolls, Chris Brown and Enrique Iglesias. She's very popular in Chruno and hits the top of the charts with every single she relases. The single "We Run the Night" reached number five on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart and was certified triple platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA), for selling over 210.000 copies. Unfortunately, she didn't manage to qualify to the final, having finished 17th in the semi.
The third Chruno's representative was a young Nigerian American poet, recording artist, singer, activist, educator and TEDGlobal Fellow, Iyeoka Okoawo. Her music includes elements from soul, R&B, rock, hip hop, and jazz. Single "Simply Falling" was the first single released from her album SAY YES. The song was described as a mixture of uniqueness, amazing voice and performance by a great artist. Iyeoka reached the 6th place in the final, bringing Chruno a big celebration. To date, she's had the highest placed entry ChTV submitted.
The fourth Chruno's representative was a worldwide popular American singer Nicole Scherzinger, the lead vocal of Pussycat Dolls. Since the beginning of her career in 1999, Scherzinger has sold 80 million records worldwide. Released from October 25, 2010, "Poison" is the first single from the album. It was produced by RedOne, BeatGeek and Jimmy Joker, and is distinctively different to Scherzinger's previous attempts at releasing solo material. "Poison" is backed with powerful synthesizers and a pulsing dance-pop beat. An accompanying music video, directed by Joseph Kahn, sees Scherzinger take on the role of a female superhero and switches between a good-girl and bad-girl persona. The song has reached big popularity in Chruno over the years, finally taking the step of being entered to ISC in the 12th edition.
The fifth Chruno's represantitives were Irish Stew of Sindidun (often referred to as Irish Stew only), a Celtic rock band from Belgrade, Serbia. While initially playing Irish folk music, the band later made a shift towards light punk rock, inspired by Irish folk music and other genres. Beside their own songs, the band performs covers of Irish traditional songs and songs by The Pogues.
On July 1, 2010 the band celebrated their seventh anniversary with a concert held at the Lađa barge in Belgrade. In August, 2011, the band released the single "Lady of New Tomorrow", available for free download from the band's official website, announcing their third studio album. The album New Tomorrow, recorded with new violinist, Ana Milanović, was released on October 6, available both on CD, released by One Records, and in a form of multimedia application, also available for free download from the their official website.

The sixth Chruno's representative was Nolwenn Leroy, born 28 September 1982 in Saint-Renan, France, a French singer and songwriter, who rose to fame after winning the second series of the French television reality show, Star Academy. She has since recorded four studio albums and scored two number one singles, "Cassé" and "Nolwenn Ohwo!", on the French charts. In 2012, her album, Bretonne, was certified two times diamond for sales exceeding one million copies. The song La Jument De Michao came from an album Bretonne, released on 6 December 2010. Cover versions of traditional celtic songs such as "Mná na h-Éireann", and contemporary songs such as Christophe Miossec's "Brest" were included on the album. Most of the songs related to Brittany, the singer's birthplace, four sung in Breton. Leroy collaborated with Jon Kelly for the musical arrangements. The album topped the French album charts for 7 weeks.
