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…

TATTOO
LOREEN
2023
In 1996 Ireland broke the record for the most wins at Eurovision. The country had triumphed on 7 occasions. Ireland held that record in its own right until 2023, when Sweden won with “Tattoo”. This equalled the record. Sweden’s 7th win was achieved by Loreen. Juries from fifteen countries awarded 12 points to the entry. Loreen is the only female to win Eurovision twice. Ireland’s Johnny Logan is the only other act to do so.
