EUROVISION SONG CONTEST 2019
THE HISTORY & STATISTICS

Most of the recent Eurovision winners
have been performed in English, but there have been some significant
exceptions. The last 5 victorious entries with no English lyrics are:
2017 Portuguese

2007 Serbian

1998 Hebrew

1995 Norwegian

1991 Swedish

From 1978-98, countries were only
permitted to enter songs performed in their official national language. The
rule was changed as it favoured nations that could compete in English, which
explains the record-breaking streak of Irish wins during this period.
