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…

2021
In 2021, the Eurovision Song Contest was back after being cancelled the previous year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Rotterdam had waited to host the event and this finally took place, two years after the Dutch win with Duncan Lawrence’s “Arcade” in 2019.
Sweden was represented by the song “Voices”. The entry was performed by Tusse. He was born Tousin Michael Chiza and arrived in his adopted homeland Sweden as a refugee from the Congo.
Tusse made it through to the Grand Final. There, he finished 14th out of a pool of 26 finalists. His participation helped him launch his international musical career.
