TOP 25 EUROVISION ENTRIES

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…

Sweden three times. Although she is known simply by her first name, she has also performed under her full name Carola Häggkvist.
