In November 2014, it was announced that Loïc Nottet would represent Belgium at the Eurovision Song Contest 2015. This big music competition was held in Vienna, Austria. His song, "Rhythm Inside", was released in March 2015. It quickly became number one on music charts in Belgium.
Loïc performed in the first semi-final of Eurovision. He did very well, coming in second place. This allowed him to move on to the Grand Final. During the final, there was a lot of smoke and special effects on stage. This made it hard for the judges to see his performance clearly. Despite this, "Rhythm Inside" earned 217 points in the Grand Final. This placed him fourth overall. It was Belgium's best result since 2003. The song was very popular and sold over 30,000 copies in Belgium. Loïc released three different music videos for "Rhythm Inside". The song also became a top hit in many other European countries.
In October 2015, Loïc Nottet competed in and won the sixth season of the French TV show Danse avec les stars. This is a dancing competition similar to "Dancing with the Stars".
