Sweden’s entry caused some controversy when their entry was performed in English, rather than in their national language Swedish; as there was no rule in place to dictate in what language a country could perform this was allowed despite protest from other competing countries. With the contest being picked up by the Eastern Europe Intervision network and broadcast in countries such as the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary and East Germany for the first time, the 1965 contest was the biggest yet with an estimated global audience of 150 million viewers. No footage of this protest remains however as, like the 1956 contest, no video footage of the contest is known to exist, but footage of the opening sequence and the winning reprise, as well as audio recordings are known to survive. A modification of the voting system used in 1962 was adopted, with countries now giving 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 points for their favourite songs.

Denmark secured its second win, its first since 1963, represented by the Olsen Brothers with the song “Fly on the Wings of Love”. The first contest of the new millennium was held before the biggest crowd yet seen in its history, with over 13,000 spectators witnessing the show in the arena, and it was the first contest to be broadcast live via the internet. The Eurovision Song Contest 2000 was the forty-fifth edition of the contest, organised by SVT and held on 13 May 2000 at the Globe Arena in Stockholm, Sweden. Following the winning reprise the broadcast was concluded by all participating artists assembling on-stage to perform “Hallelujah”, the Israeli winning song from 1979, as a tribute to the victims of the then-ongoing war in the Balkans.

The Eurovision Song Contest 1970 was the fifteenth edition of the contest, organised by Nederlandse Omroep Stichting (NOS) and held on 21 March 1970 at the RAI Congrescentrum in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The Eurovision Song Contest 1969 was the fourteenth edition of the contest, organised by Televisión Española (TVE) and held on 29 March 1969 at the Teatro Real in Madrid, Spain. Spanish broadcaster TVE had originally selected Joan Manuel Serrat as its representative, but when he demanded to sing “La La La” in Catalan in the contest, TVE replaced him with Massiel who sang the song in Spanish and ultimately won the contest.

Several countries withdrew for this year due to the effects of the 2008 financial crisis, including Andorra which has yet to make a reappearance, with the crisis also impacting the production of the contest. The Eurovision Song Contest 2010 was the fifty-fifth edition of the contest, organised by NRK and held on 25, 27 and 29 May 2010 at the Telenor Arena in Oslo, Norway. The Eurovision Song Contest 2009 was the fifty-fourth edition of the contest, organised by Channel One (C1R) and held on 12, 14 and 16 May 2009 at the Olimpiyskiy Arena in Moscow, Russia.

“Eurovision” as a term in telecommunications was first used by British journalist George Campey in the Evening Standard in 1951, when he referred to a BBC programme being relayed by Dutch television; the EBU’s Eurovision transmission network was subsequently founded in 1954, at the time formed of a series of microwave links across Europe. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) was formed in 1950, when the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) hosted a conference with 23 organisations at the Imperial Hotel in Torquay, England, with the aim of establishing cooperation on creative endeavours and setting a foundation for the exchange of television programmes across borders. Several other competitions have been inspired by Eurovision in the years since its formation, and the EBU has also created a number of complimentary contests which focus on other aspects of music and culture. The Eurovision Song Contest is the longest-running annual international televised music competition in the world, as determined by Guinness World Records, and around 40 countries now regularly take part each year.

29 countries submitted entries for this qualifying round, with all competing nations and Norway voting and deciding the 22 countries which would advance to the final and join Norway as the host country and previous year’s winner. Loreen, the winner of the 2012 contest, returned for Sweden and became the second artist to record two wins in the contest with “Tattoo”, and in doing so giving Sweden a record-tying seventh contest win. Substantial changes to the voting system were made for this contest, with full televoting returning to determine the qualifiers from the semi-finals, and viewers from non-participating countries being allowed to vote in all shows, with their votes being aggregated and awarded as one set of points from an “extra country” for the overall public vote. This contest saw the performance of Eurovision’s 1,500th song, when former winner Alexander Rybak performed “That’s How You Write a Song” in the second semi-final for Norway. 43 countries were initially announced as being represented at the contest, with Australia being invited to compete for a second time; Romania was subsequently barred from competing due to outstanding debts owed by the Romanian broadcaster TVR, leaving 42 countries to compete in Sweden’s sixth outing as hosts.

18 participants in total were present, the biggest contest since 1966, with Norway, Sweden, Finland, Austria and Portugal returning and Malta making its debut. A number of innovations which have since become regular features of the contest were first implemented in this year, originally as a way to extend the broadcast due to the low number of participating entries. The scoring system last used in 1961, with ten members casting a single vote for their favourite, was reintroduced, with at least half of the jury members in each country required to be less than 30 years old. Ahead of the 1966 contest, the EBU invited broadcasters to submit proposals on ideas they believed should be introduced in future editions. In September 1953, an EBU meeting in London resulted in a series of international exchange programmes organised the following year, entitled the “European Television Season”, and relayed live across Europe through the Eurovision network.

45 years after first entering the contest, Finland secured its first win, represented by Lordi and “Hard Rock Hallelujah”. Serbia and Montenegro had intended to compete, but controversy over the winner of their national selection resulted in their late withdrawal. The Eurovision Song Contest 2006 was the fifty-first edition of the contest, organised by the Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation (ERT) and held on 18 and 20 May 2006 at the Olympic Indoor Hall in Athens, Greece.

The contest was broadcast in 28 countries, and for the first time was available live in Asia, with viewers able to watch the show in Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, Hong Kong and Thailand. After Spain’s TVE and Germany’s ARD, having come second and third the previous year, and France’s ORTF had turned down the opportunity to host, the BBC offered once again to step in, taking the contest outside of London and England for the first time, to the Scottish capital. Monaco’s Télé Monte-Carlo (TMC) had initially expressed interest banglabet-bd.com/login/ in hosting, however no suitable venue in Monaco was available in time for the contest. The Eurovision Song Contest 1972 was the seventeenth edition of the contest, organised by the BBC and held on 25 March 1972 at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh, United Kingdom.

  • Denmark secured its second win, its first since 1963, represented by the Olsen Brothers with the song “Fly on the Wings of Love”.
  • Estonia, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia, which had failed to qualify from Kvalifikacija za Millstreet the previous year, joined new entries from Lithuania, Poland and Russia in debuting, competing alongside the top 18 countries from Millstreet.
  • Many of the artists which had initially been selected to compete in 2020 were confirmed for their countries once again, however any song entered into the 2020 contest was ineligible for 2021 per the rules of the contest.
  • 17 countries competed in total, with Greece making its debut appearance; France withdrew a number of days before the event following the death of the President of France Georges Pompidou, in a mark of respect as his funeral was arranged for the day of the contest.

11 countries competed in this edition, which saw the United Kingdom returning to the contest along with new entrants Monaco, while Luxembourg decided to withdraw. The Eurovision Song Contest 1959 was the fourth edition of the contest, organised by Radiodiffusion-Télévision Française (RTF) and held on 11 March 1959 at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, France. A new rule limiting the duration of each competing entry to 3 minutes was introduced, prompted by the previous year’s contest when the Italian entry lasted for over 5 minutes.
