I’m fairly sur this is moment the graphic revealed the winner by mistake - have been there, nothing but sympathy if I’ve got it right?

If at first you don’t succeed (x49)! 🎉 A few last places but oft joint with others so the graph looks kinder (until 2018 😢).
Averages dropped so that first NQ eventually came in 2000. 1st Top 5 in 2017.
Q in ’24 would be longest run in SF era. 98% include 🇵🇹

Knock, knock who’s there? The 🇬🇧 in 2nd place that’s what!
A few pts separate the UK from more wins than 🇮🇪 & 🇸🇪 put together, but actually winning #Eurovision isn’t easy.
Decline not caused by one factor. Last places have ticked up to 5. Reminder: Post-2000 average is 18th.

🇨🇭 in #Eurovision
The OG winner, whose record fell apart in the mid 90s. Like 🇩🇪, the 80s were a successful period. 4x 0 points, one in a SF. 4x lasts in SFs.
On the strongest run of Q’ing since 1993. Of the 4 langs in 🇨🇭, English now outstrips German and Italian in their songs

Lowest qualification rate going into 2024 (Andorra is at 0%).
46% of acts have been Sammarinese, 30% of them inc Valentina Monetta. Serhat (Turkish) got their best result in 2019.
Some memorable songs, apps provide valuable visibility for the microstate.

The last of the Lugano 7 to win, and boy did they - a new record of points at the time.
Only 21 strong results between 1990-2009. Since then the disparity between Dutch and French has evened with 4 Qs each. 2024 would be new SF streak if they q

An impressive start (🇮🇪 landslide) gave way poor results which stretched 15 yrs. Made it easy for TVP to take a break after Euro 2012.
*30* yrs since 🇵🇱 were in the Top 5. 3x Top 10 finishes. Any chance of their Junior successes being emulated anytime soon?

A narrow win in 63 was followed by lengthy withdrawal. Quite a successful late 80s (in Danish) and an unlucky 90s. Big wins in 2000 and 2013.
SFs started ok but post-Pandemic Denmark are on their longest run of NQing. 2 trophies were won in Sweden, time for a their 4th win?

The sole Romanian speaking entrant this year, Moldova have a strong qualification record outside some dismal results in 2014-16.
Hey Mamma remains the high point though, along with 4 other Top 10 finishes. 89% of entries have English in the lyrics.

A tough start, but quick success in the late 90s and a win that ultimately changed Eurovision history regarding small countries hosting.
Early SFs were brutal & Top 5 has alluded 🇪🇪 for 21 years, top 10 not so.
Have never Qf’d from SFs for more than 3 years in a row.

No better appearance record around.
Prolific producers Ralph Siegel & Bernd Meinunger powered a strong 1980s including the 1st win. Katja Ebstein’s songs are noted, the most successful non-winner in #Eurovision history.
Current form is unprecedented.

A European cultural superpower, 3 wins seems meagre, but Rai and Eurovision haven’t always seen eye to eye.
Since 2011, one of the strongest competitors - ten Top 10 finishes, including a win with a band that went global. 98% of entries include Italian lyrics.

Four top 10s in 23 attempts, the 2002 win came after qualification looked unlikely.
I wanna say success in 2024 is an appearance in the GF, after 6 straight misses. Latvia have finished dead last in 5 semi-finals, but have avoided a dreaded nul points.

Cha Cha Cha easily the best performing entry in Finnish ever, a language that seemed make Top 5 an impossible feat pre-99.
Even worse results in the 90s meant apps became on/off as per the rules. Lordi’s win didn’t translate into consistent success. A good 2024 == a 🇫🇮 golden era?
