Missed the last 2 songs due to a supper call, but here are some fun facts nonetheless
24. 🇷🇴Romania made its debut alongside Croatia in 1993. Their best result is 5th place
25. 🇦🇹This year marks 60 years since Udo Jurgens' win

23. 🇳🇴Following Ukraine and Sweden, Norway has the third longest qualification streak as of 2026, dating back to 2017. After closing SF2, Jonas wants the fans to shout "Ya Ya Ya"

[Stephanie @SebalterCanada]

22. 🇮🇹Since their return to ESC in 2011, Italy only missed the top 10 twice and scored a famous victory in 2021. Having experienced an Italian wedding myself, Sal brings that fun and flavor to Vienna

21. 🇨🇾In their debut in 1981, Cyprus scored a respectable 6th place. Their best finish is 2nd in 2018. Antigoni wants to give Eurofans "Jalla" and then some

20. 🇸🇪Since the semifinal era began, Sweden only missed the final once and won 3 times! Felicia steps out of her former Froken Snusk identity and into her own as a solo artist

[Stephanie @SebalterCanada]

19. 🇱🇹From one 1994 debutant to another, Lithuania's campaign got off on a somber note with 0 points. But now they've gotten stronger, Lion brings multilingual versatility to his performance

[Stephanie @SebalterCanada]

18. 🇵🇱Poland's best result still stands as 2nd in their 1994 debut. Alicja was due to represent the country in 2020 prior to that edition's cancellation, but she's here now!

17. 🇫🇮It took 45 years for Finland to get its first victory, right from this very running order slot! Linda and Pete look to do the same with their fiery performance

[Stephanie @SebalterCanada]

16. 🇲🇩Moldova got a top 5 finish on its debut. Never count them out to bring the fun stuff, like funny hats and epic sax solos. Satoshi celebrates it all!

[Stephanie @SebalterCanada]

15. 🇫🇷France's last win came in 1977. But the 2010s and 2020s showed considerable growth. Monroe is the youngest competitor this year at 17, and one of two American-born finalists (the other being Sal from Italy)

[Stephanie @SebalterCanada]

14. 🇬🇧The UK is full of records: the most 2nd places (16), the most times hosted (9), and the longest uninterrupted streak of participation dating back to 1959. This year they brought something very eclectic

[Stephanie @SebalterCanada]

13. 🇭🇷Like fellow finalist Romania, Croatia's debut came in 1993, their best finish as an independent country was 2nd in 2024. Lelek's tight harmonies and ethnic mystery are a delight

[Stephanie @SebalterCanada]

12. 🇧🇬Bulgaria holds the record for most points scored by a non-winner, with 615 points in 2017. After 3 years away, Dara brought a full-scale riot to the stage!

[Stephanie @SebalterCanada]

11. 🇨🇿Czechia's first ever qualification to the final came 10 years ago in Stockholm. Whereas Delta has the best female voice this year, I'd say Daniel has the best male voice

[Stephanie @SebalterCanada]

10. 🇲🇹Malta's debut was in 1971. Third time in the Maltese selection was the charm for Aidan, bringing the first song to contain Maltese lyrics to the final since 2000

[Stephanie @SebalterCanada]

09. 🇷🇸Winners on their debut in 2007, Serbia has brought a variety of sounds to the contest. This time they've brought metal, one of two rock songs this year

[Stephanie @SebalterCanada]

Song 9 is here, everyone grab your glasses and mugs and raise a toast to Sir Terry! @bbceurovision
