71 songs written by 147 songwriters have won the Eurovision Song Contest, an international song competition organised annually by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). The contest, which has been broadcast every year since its debut in 1956,[a] is one of the longest-running television programmes in the world. The contest's winner has been determined using numerous voting techniques throughout its history; centre to these have been the awarding of points by juries or televoters. The entry awarded the most points is declared the winner.[1] The first contest was not won on points, but by votes (two per country), and only the winner was announced.[2]

There have been 68 contests, with one winner each year except for the tied 1969 contest, which had four. Songs representing 27 different countries have won the contest, with Switzerland winning the first contest in 1956. The countries with the highest number of wins are Ireland and Sweden with seven wins each. Two people have won more than once as a performer: Ireland's Johnny Logan, who performed "What's Another Year" in 1980 and "Hold Me Now" in 1987, and Sweden's Loreen, who performed "Euphoria" in 2012 and "Tattoo" in 2023. Logan is also one of seven songwriters to have written more than one winning entry ("Hold Me Now" in 1987 and "Why Me?" in 1992, performed by Linda Martin),[3] and is the only person to have three Eurovision victories to their credit, as either singer, songwriter or both. The other six songwriters with more than one winning entry to their credit are Willy van Hemert (Netherlands 1957 and 1959), Yves Dessca (Monaco 1971 and Luxembourg 1972), Rolf Løvland (Norway 1985 and 1995), Brendan Graham (Ireland 1994 and 1996), and Thomas G:son and Peter Boström (both for Sweden 2012 and 2023).

Relatively few winners of the Eurovision Song Contest have gone on to achieve major success in the music industry. The most notable winners who have gone on to become international stars are ABBA, who won the contest for Sweden in 1974 with their song "Waterloo",[4] and Céline Dion, who won for Switzerland in 1988 with the song "Ne partez pas sans moi".[5] More recently, Duncan Laurence, who won for the Netherlands in 2019 with "Arcade", experienced worldwide streaming success with the song as a sleeper hit throughout 2020 and 2021, with the song becoming the most streamed Eurovision song on Spotify.[6] while Måneskin, winners for Italy in 2021 with "Zitti e buoni", subsequently achieved worldwide popularity in the months following their victory.[7]

The performer and the songwriter(s) of the winning song only receive a medal or a trophy, while its participating broadcaster is invited to host the following year's contest. Since 2008, the performer has been awarded a handmade trophy of sandblasted glass in the shape of a 1950s microphone,[8] while the songwriter(s) and the broadcaster receive smaller versions of the trophy. Its original design was created by Kjell Engman of Kosta Boda, who specialises in glass art.[9] This trophy is notoriously fragile, and the support infamously broke on stage right after being received by Alexander Rybak, who won for Norway in 2009,[10] and by Nemo, who won for Switzerland in 2024.[11] Emmelie de Forest, who won for Denmark in 2013, also revealed in an appearance in the 2023 contest that her trophy also broke in the exact same spot.[12] Despite that, no redesigns were made since.

Observations

Further information: Voting at the Eurovision Song Contest

Eleven Eurovision winning songs (alongside three non-winners) were featured at the special concert Congratulations: 50 Years of the Eurovision Song Contest in 2005, in which "Waterloo" by ABBA was voted the most popular song of the contest's first fifty years.[85]

Ireland and Sweden have won seven times, more than any other country. Ireland also won the contest for three consecutive years (1992, 1993, and 1994), the only country to ever do so. Three countries have won twice in a row: Spain (1968 and 1969), Luxembourg (1972 and 1973) and Israel (1978 and 1979). Serbia is the only country to win with its debut entry (in 2007).[b] By contrast, Portugal holds the record for waiting the longest to achieve their first win, doing so in 2017; 53 years after their first appearance in the contest. Austria holds the record for longest wait in between wins, having won for the first time in 1966 and a second time in 2014. Under the voting system used between 1975 and 2015, the winner of the contest was decided by the final voting country on eleven occasions.[c]

Changes to the voting system, including a steady growth in the number of countries participating and voting, means that the points earned are not comparable across the decades. "Amar pelos dois" by Salvador Sobral holds the record of the highest number of points in the contest's history, earning 758 points in 2017. "Fairytale" by Alexander Rybak holds the largest margin of victory in absolute points, a 169-point cushion over second place in 2009. "Non ho l'età" by Gigliola Cinquetti holds the record for largest victory by percentage, scoring almost three times as many as second place (49 points compared with 17 by the runner-up) in the 1964 contest. The lowest winning score is the 18 points (of the 160 total votes cast by 16 countries) scored by each of the four winning countries in 1969.

Under the voting system used from 1975 until 2015, in which each country gives maximum points to its first place choice, "Euphoria" by Loreen won the 2012 contest with the most ever first place votes earned, receiving first place votes from 18 of 41 countries (excluding themselves). The 1976 winner, "Save Your Kisses for Me" by Brotherhood of Man, holds the record of the highest average score per participating country, with an average of 9.65 points received per country. The 2011 winner, "Running Scared" by Ell and Nikki, holds the lowest average score for a winning song under that system, receiving 5.14 points per country.

Around two-thirds of the winning songs were performed in the second half of the final. According to the official statistics, until 2019, only 34.3% of the winning songs were performed in the first half, including 3 of the 4 winners in 1969. The only song to win without being clearly in one half or the other was the Israeli entry "Hallelujah" by Milk and Honey in 1979, which was drawn 10th out of 19 songs. Between 2005 and 2013, all the winning songs were performed in the second half of the final's running order.[86]

The United Kingdom has finished second sixteen times at Eurovision (most recently in 2022), more than any other country. France has finished third and fourth eight times at Eurovision (most recently respectively in 1981 and in 2024), and Sweden has finished fifth nine times at Eurovision (most recently in 2019). The country with the most top three places that has never won the contest is Malta, having finished second in 2002 and 2005 and third in 1992 and 1998. Another island nation, Iceland, has also finished second twice, in 1999 and 2009. With Portugal achieving its first win in 2017, Malta now also holds the record for longest wait for a first win, having first entered the contest in 1971 (although Cyprus has more winless appearances, with 36 since debuting in 1981, due to Malta taking a break from 1976 through 1990). Spain holds the current record for longest drought by a winning country, having last won in 1969. They are followed by France (1977) and Belgium (1986).

There is no official runner-up for two of the contests – 1956 and 1969. In 1956 only the winner, Switzerland, was announced. In 1969, four songs shared first place by achieving the same number of points; fifth place was achieved by Switzerland, which is not considered an official runner-up, because of the draw for first place.

Discrepancies between the jury and televote

Since the reintroduction of the juries alongside televoting in 2009, the jury and the televote awarded the most points to the same entry on only six occasions: in 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2017. Two winners have won without placing first in either area: Ukraine's "1944" by Jamala in 2016, who finished second in the jury vote behind Australia and second in the televote behind Russia, and the Netherlands' "Arcade" by Duncan Laurence in 2019, who placed third behind North Macedonia and Sweden in the jury vote, and second behind Norway in the televote.

Sweden won both the combined vote and jury vote in 2015 and 2023, represented by "Heroes" by Måns Zelmerlöw and "Tattoo" by Loreen, respectively. However, in the televote, Sweden came third behind Italy and Russia in 2015, and second behind Finland in 2023. Switzerland's "The Code" by Nemo won the combined vote and jury vote in 2024, but placed fifth in the televote behind Croatia, Israel, Ukraine, and France.

Azerbaijan's "Running Scared" by Ell and Nikki in 2011, Israel's "Toy" by Netta in 2018, Italy's "Zitti e buoni" by Måneskin in 2021 and Ukraine's "Stefania" by Kalush Orchestra in 2022 all won both the combined vote and televote. However, in the jury vote, Azerbaijan came second behind Italy in 2011, Israel came third behind Austria and Sweden in 2018, Italy came fourth behind Switzerland, France and Malta in 2021, and Ukraine came fourth behind the United Kingdom, Sweden and Spain in 2022.[87]
