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…
HONOURABLE MENTION 2
LAS VEGAS
MARTIN STENMARCK
2005
Sweden’s strong finish in 2004 entitled it to inclusion for the
Grand Final held in 2005 in the city of Kyiv, Ukraine. The gamble on “Las Vegas”
unfortunately did not end well. Sweden finished ranked at #19 out of 24
finalists. This meant that the country would need to qualify in the Semi-Final the
following year. The song deserved a higher placing.
