Loreen broughtSweden its fifth and seventh win in2012 and2023 respectively, making her the second performer to win the contest twice afterJohnny Logan , and the first female performer to win twice.Over 1,700 entries have been submitted into theEurovision Song Contest since it began in 1956, comprising songs and artists which have representedfifty-two countries .[ 1] [ 2] The contest, organised by theEuropean Broadcasting Union (EBU), is held annually between members of the union, with participating broadcasters from different countries submitting songs to the event and casting votes to determine the most popular in the competition.[ 3] From an original seven participating countries in the first edition, around forty entries are now regularly submitted into the competition every year.[ 4]
Principally open to active member broadcasters of the EBU, eligibility to participate in the contest is not determined by geographic inclusion within thetraditional boundaries of Europe. Several countries from outside of Europe have previously submitted entries into the contest, including countries inWestern Asia andNorth Africa , as well astranscontinental countries with only part of their territory in Europe.[ 5] Australia, a country inOceania , made its first contest appearance in2015 whenSBS , an EBU associate member broadcaster from the country, received an invitation to submit an entry to mark the contest's 60th anniversary.[ 6] [ 7]
Each year a date is typically set by which time broadcasters may announce to the EBU their intent to participate in the contest, which can be revoked condition-free up to this deadline date.[ 8] However, on several occasions over its history, entries which had been submitted into the contest by the participating broadcasters following the cut-off date, or which were planned to be submitted, have subsequently not gone ahead. This can occur for varying reasons, including disqualification for breaking therules of the contest or through withdrawal by the broadcasters themselves.[ 9] [ 10] [ 11] On a number of occasions participation has also been suggested or attempted in countries which are precluded from entering the contest, due to a lack of EBU member broadcaster or for other reasons.[ 12] [ 13]
Germany has made the most contest appearances, participating in all but one event since its founding.[ 14] Morocco conversely has participated the fewest times, competing only once in1980 .[ 15] As of 2024,[update] Ireland andSweden both hold the record for the most victories, having won the contest seven times, including four Irish wins in the 1990s.[ 16] [ 17] In addition to its five contest wins, theUnited Kingdom has also placed second sixteen times – more than any other country – and also holds the record for the most consecutive contest appearances, competing in every edition since 1959.[ 18] Although it has also achieved three contest wins,Norway holds the record for the most last-place finishes in the contest's history, having featured at the bottom of the scoreboard of the final twelve times as of 2024[update] .[ 19]
The following tables list the entries which have been performed at the contest since the introduction of semi-finals in 2004. Entries are listed by order of their first performance in the contest; entry numbers provide a cumulative total of all songs performed at the contest throughout its history, and a second cumulative total outlines the total entries for each country. For each individual year placings for each entry in that year's final are shown, with placings in the contest's semi-final(s) shown in brackets. Songs which were performed multiple times are shown only once in each table, with separate columns showing the running order for each entry in that year's semi-final(s) and final.[ 1]
Only songs which have competed in the contest final or in the semi-finals are considered contest entries. Submitted entries for the ultimately cancelled2020 contest are also excluded from this list for the purposes of calculating cumulative totals for entry numbers and country totals.[ 14] [ 20]
In line with the official Eurovision Song Contest records, the 1992 entry which represented the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, subsequently renamedSerbia and Montenegro in 2003, is considered to have represented Yugoslavia rather than Serbia and Montenegro; Serbia and Montenegro is therefore considered to have made its first appearance in 2004.[ 21] [ 22]

Withdrawn and disqualified entries [ edit ] On a number of occasions, entries into the contest have been prevented from competing at a late stage, either through withdrawal by the participating broadcaster, or through disqualification or exclusion by the European Broadcasting Union. The list below highlights cases where an entry for a given country had been planned in a particular year but which ultimately did not occur, either by withdrawal, disqualification, exclusion or the cancellation of the contest.
On a number of occasions participation in the contest has been either suggested or attempted by countries which are ineligible due to a lack of a participating EBU member broadcaster, such as past media reports of interest by broadcasters inChina ,Kosovo ,Liechtenstein andQatar .[ 45] [ 12] [ 46] [ 47] Participation has also been suggested for a number of nations and territories whose participation is currently covered by another country. Potential entries fromWales andScotland (currentlycountries of theUnited Kingdom ) and theFaroe Islands (currently aterritory ofDenmark ) have been reported, but are generally prevented due to the exclusive participation rights of the sovereign nation to which they belong.[ 13] [ 48] [ 49] Wales and Scotland have participated in other Eurovision events where the United Kingdom as a whole do not participate, including theJunior Eurovision Song Contest andEurovision Choir .[ 50] [ 51]
Eurovision Song Contest 2020 [ edit ] The Eurovision Song Contest 2020 was planned to be the 65th edition of the contest, however the contest was cancelled in March 2020 due to theCOVID-19 pandemic .[ 118] [ 119] A statement released by the EBU following the cancellation confirmed that the entries chosen to compete in the 2020 contest would not be eligible to compete in 2021.[ 20] As these songs were not performed live in the competition, they are not counted in the running total of entries performed. Six of these entries were later performed out of competition as interval acts – "Empires " during theJunior Eurovision Song Contest 2020 ,[ 120] "Fai rumore " during the first semi-final of the2022 contest ,[ 121] and "Répondez-moi ", "On Fire ", "Cleopatra ", and "All of My Love " during the second semi-final of the2025 contest .[ 122]

The Ukrainian broadcasterUA:PBC approached the second- and third-placed artists but they also refused, leading to Ukraine withdrawing from the competition.^ Israeli broadcasterKan initially submitted "October Rain" to the 2024 contest. After the song was rejected due to the political nature of the lyrics, it was rewritten and retitled as "Hurricane", which was accepted by the EBU to compete. ^ The artist and song would have been selected through the national finalEtapa națională 2025 ^a b c Escudero, Victor M.
