He is known for winning the Eurovision Song Contest twice, in 1980 and 1987. He also composed the winning song in 1992. Logan won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1980 with the song "What's Another Year", which topped the charts in eight countries. He won for a second time in 1987 with the song "Hold Me Now", which topped the charts in Israel, Ireland and Belgium and was a top-ten hit in ten other music markets. For 36 years he was the only artist to have won the contest twice, until Loreen's second victory in 2023. Logan has also composed two Eurovision songs for Linda Martin, "Terminal 3" in 1984, and "Why Me?" in 1992.
