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…

DIGGILOO DIGGILEY

HERREYS

1984

 

Sweden scored its second Eurovision win with “Digiloo Diggiley”. This was also the first winner to be performed in Swedish. The song collected 12 points from Austria, Cyprus, Denmark, Germany and Ireland. Herreys consisted of three brothers. The title is intentionally nonsensical.
