Kate Miller-Heidke won the first ever Australian pre-selection "Eurovision: Australia Decides Gold Coast 2019" with the song Zero Gravity written by Kate herself with husband Keir Nuttall.
The song was released as a digital single on January 25.
Remixes by 7th Heaven and ATT (see versions) were released on April 19.
Another remix just named Radio Edit was released on April 26.
The Acoustic version was released on May 3.

On May 14 all released versions (except karaoke) were bundled in a digital EP with yet another remix added: The Donatachi remix.

So far Zero physical from Kate Miller-Heidke's Eurovision entry.
Although you can order the Zero Gravity sheet music at KMH's webshop.

The lyric video is here at Kate's Youtube.
A karaoke version is here at KMH's YT.

Australia had a preselection for the first time. And it was held at the Gold Coast obviously. (and, on a personal note, it was probably the best one of the year).
10 songs (out of 700!) fought it out on Saturday February 9.
Most songs have been released through digital sources.

The lady on the pole in the performance of Zero Gravity  in the Australian NF is Emma Waite from performing arts company Strange Fruit from Melbourne. For Eurovision Emma is joined by Emily Ryan. They have a website.

Who's Kate?

The 2016 Best Of CD

Up-Top not many people may have heard of Kate Miller-Heidke but Down-Under she has an impressive body of work to her name.
She's an award winning classically schooled alternative actress singer song/opera writer or something along those lines.
After a few years in a band (Elsewhere) in the early 00's she released a few singles and EP's to be followed by her first solo album Little Eve in 2007.
Second album Curiouser includes her biggest hit The Last Day On Earth (an Australian #3 in 2008, beautiful song, check it out!).
Two more top 5 albums followed with Nightflight (2012) and O Vertigo! (2014).

More recently she dressed up as a well known  Opera House and released a live album with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.
In 2016 a compilation album The Best Of Kate Miller-Heidke Act One was released. 
In 2018 she (and hubby Keir Nuttall a.k.a. comedian Franky Walnut) wrote the original music to the award winning musical version of Muriel's Wedding.

An honorable mention must go to her 2015 Christmas single with The Beards, I'm Growing A Beard Downstairs For Christmas, which is gross.

2020 Vinyl

A limited edition vinyl 7"inch single was released on October 30, 2020. It coincided with the release of KMH's new album Child In Reverse. (The album does not have Zero Gravity though).

The single also has the acoustic version on the b-side.

There are numbered copies up to 284 but obviously more copies were made as there are also without number.

Let's Get Physical: Tel Aviv

Here's a quick checklist of this year's physical releases (CD's, vinyl) available the public. It's not a lot, really, but enough to do the Physical page again.

For promo and digital info please check each country's individual post.

Check out BeaRecords and you may just find what you need.

Singles

The first single released  is the one from Italy. It's a vinyl 7"inch, but you have to get the limited edition album box to get this item.

Eight other songs from the Sanremo contest have been released on vinyl single, find more info at the Italy post.
The second single release is also a vinyl single, it's Tulia's from Poland. Grrreat.
San Marino's Serhat has issued a cdsingle which may not be in the regular stores but it is sold through several 'regular' sources.
Netherlands has a vinyl 7" inch that first was only  available at Duncan Laurence's Paradiso concert, but it it got a Europe wide release on July 26. Better late than never Netta!

Compilations

The 2CD with all the songs from the show is expected on April 26.  It is the 20th time all songs from the contest are released on an official EBU endorsed CD.  How time flies.....
The DVD release (3-disc set) was released on June 23. It does not feature Madonna's interval act.

Hungary, Sweden, Croatia, Spain, Italy and Portugal all have CD albums out with the complete collection of 2019 National Final Songs.

Time Tunnel
And if you're going to Tel Aviv you can score a new 2CD compilation with Eurovision hits including TOY and Fuego from 2018. A collection of Eurovision winners and classics you probably already own in some form or another, but you know you want it anyway.
The album compiled by Time Tunnel 100FM radio is released on the Helicon label.
A few of the less likely entries on this compilation are Bandido by Azucar Moreno (which was a big hit in Israel), Alain Barrière, Co-Co. Beth and Caline and Olivier Toussaint.
It includes (only) four Israeli entries (the ones that won the contest). Of A Ba Ni Bi, Diva and Hallelujah Hebrew versions are included.
The 2CD is also available at Israel Music, where I bought it and it arrived in a week. See tracklist scan below.
