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…

TAKE ME TO YOUR HEAVEN
CHARLOTTE
1999
Sweden returned to the Top 10 in the 1998 Contest. The following year, Charlotte Perrelli represented her homeland with the schlager-flavoured “Take Me To Your Heaven”. The song gave Sweden its fourth Eurovision victory. Five countries awarded 12 points to the entry: Bosnia & Herzegovina, Estonia, Malta, Norway and the United Kingdom.
