SWEDEN’s
TOP 25 EUROVISION ENTRIES
In 2023, Sweden won the Eurovision Song Contest for a record-equalling seventh time (shared with Ireland). It is hard to argue that any other ESC participant country takes the annual event as seriously as the Swedes do. Their national selections – Melodifestivalen- is held over many weeks and usually features several strong contenders. The final rivals the actual Eurovision Final in its professionalism and entertainment.
This enthusiasm for the Contest has resulted in an enviable legacy. Here are 25 of Sweden’s most impressive Eurovision entries…

THIS IS MY LIFE
ANNA BERGENDAHL
2010
Since its first of 63 participations, Sweden has only been absent in the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest on one occasion. In 2010, Anna Bergendahl performed the Swedish entry in Semi-Final 2. As is the case still today, the ten countries with the highest scores progress into the Grand Final. “This Is My Life” finished in 11th place. Thus, Anna Bergendahl’s hopes were dashed. Her song deserved to qualify.
