Best of the Bunch: Russia

They’re one of the most successful nations to participate in Eurovision, with a total of nine Top 5 results since their debut in 1994. Many of those Top 5 places happened during the years 2006 to 2015, which is the range of years we will be discussing in today’s Best of the Bunch! We’re going…

Considering Ireland is the most successful nation at Eurovision (until that record is broken, perhaps by Sweden?), their results are fairly average in the years gone by. Other than Jedward in 2011, their only qualifications led to fairly low results in the final, and after 2013, the nation hasn’t managed to qualify. Today’s National Final…

Best of the Bunch: Montenegro

Previous to 2007, Montenegro participated in Eurovision as part of Serbia and Montenegro, so from 2007 onwards, Montenegro (and Serbia) were on their own, left to fend for themselves. Serbia set the bar pretty high, winning the contest on their debut independent year of 2007, however Montenegro hasn’t had the same luck over the years…

Best of the Bunch: Hungary

Hungary first made their debut at Eurovision in 1994 – well, their first entry would have been in 1993, however at the time, a special qualification round was used for the former Eastern Bloc countries and as you might guess, Hungary failed to qualify, and as such, their first actual Eurovision entry was 1994. Funnily…

Best of the Bunch: Moldova

The subject of this week’s Best of the Bunch is Moldova, a nation relatively new to Eurovision. They first made their debut in 2005 with Zdob şi Zdub, an act we will be discussing today although their later entry. The nation has had a mixed history at Eurovision, with some fairly respectable results over the…

It feels like an eternity since Swedish Eurovision winner Måns Zelmerlöw has released new music, and although Hanging on to Nothing isn’t a new release as such, what is new is the video clip to accompany the song. The single was first released in August of 2016, and was the second single off his 7th…

Best of the Bunch: Romania

Romania first debuted at Eurovision in 1994, and incredibly, the nation has managed to appear in every single final for each year they have participated in since their debut. The nation hasn’t participated every year since their debut however, missing out on 1995, 1997, 1999, 2001 and most recently in 2016, where the nation was…

Best of the Bunch: Iceland

Iceland has now participated in Eurovision 30 times, with their debut year 1986. Since their participation, the northern nation has missed only two contests and they’ve come 2nd twice (one of which we’ll be discussing today). Today we’ll be beginning our Best of the Bunch journey in 2006 and continuing on until 2015 (to keep…

Best of the Bunch: San Marino

I would have liked to have said San Marino is one of the smallest, but most successful nations in Eurovision, but this really couldn’t be further from the truth. Despite the fact that the nation has only qualified to the final once in a total of 8 attempts (including the most recent in Kyiv), there…

Best of the Bunch: Denmark

Denmark was the first Nordic nation to enter Eurovision, the year after the contest debut. They intended to join the contest in 1956, although their application missed the deadline, and as such, entered the following year. Denmark first won the country in 1963 with the song Dansevise, and since then, have had their highs and…
