TOP 25 EUROVISION ENTRIES

 

In 2023, Sweden won the Eurovision Song Contest for a record-equalling seventh time (shared with Ireland).

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…

Second time around, she landed in the lead, thanks to 12 points from Denmark. Iceland, United Kingdom and Germany. Carola has represented Sweden three times.
