next time you can add the four 0 points of Eurovision 2021 😂😂😂

Serbia winning with their first entry is a legendary move

Norway really said "if you ain't first you're last" and I think that's very iconic of them

Longest winner (Ducan Laurens 2 years And 4 days)

Someone should participate with a song called "k" to break the ESC record of shortest song title that still makes sense

2:34 Even bigger fun fact. Emil Ramsauer IS STILL ALIVE IN 2021. He is 103 now (also first ESC participant to reach 100 I think). Just insane.

Another fun record: Ireland is the only country to have won 3 years in a row (1992, 1993 and 1994).

Also Greece in the 1993 Eurovision broke records with longest close-up in eurovision history. It is said that the camera man fell in love with her that's why he did that long close-up on her face.

Dont worry norway, us brits will soon overtake you with the most losses real soon

Here's an interesting ESC fact: Every contest that was held in a year ending in 7 - 1957, 1967, 1977, 1987, 1997, 2007, 2017 - The winner was singing in their native language🤯

In this are missing: - The country with the most third places (France came 7 times in third places) - The longest eurovision contest (it was 2019)

Thomas Raggi (guitarist of måneksin) is the first person born in the 21 century to win esc!

Finland 1998 is the Eurovision song with least diferent words in the lyrics: only six words repeated all through the song.

Katie Garby Greece has the most close scene record 41sec non stop

The thing is, no one will ever be able to break the youngest ever winner and contestant records, as the minimal age is now 18 and there is that god awful junior eurovision or whatever its name is

As a Norwegian, I can say that we are proud to have the record for most last places. It is a great meme :))))) Also having the biggest Win with almost twice the points as the runner up in 2009 really helps

Ukraine is in finals every year they participate . From from debut in 2003 to 2021 .

Norway has won by the largest margin ever. And also has the most last places

It's so embarrassing that one of the only records my country holds is not qualifying. We were in a dip. And now we get to host!!!!!

Luxembourg 1973 was the highest winner percentage

Fairytale and Euphoria the best Eurovision songs in history

You could've also mentioned the first country ever to win twice in a row, which, weird enough, was Spain xD (although the 1969 victory was shared).

Eden Elena - the highest note

2:49 This could be worded better for clarity: first born contestant.

The most significant record is the three victories (1992,1993,1994) of Ireland in a row. No other country has ever done this. I believe that it should have been mentioned. The four of them was not only in a decade as it was mentioned, but in a 5 year period. They won the contest four times from 1992 to 1996 (5 years). The exception was the victory of 1995 in which the violin player was Irish!!! Isn't this ironic?

The shortest wait for the first 12 points: Hungary (It debuted in 1994, and they got the first 12 points by the first voting country) The longest wait for the first 12 points Austria (the well-known pointing system is living since 1975, but they had to wait for their first 12 points until 1989 (it means 14 years) Debuting with 0 points Portugal (1964) and Lithuania (1994) Most wins by the same person: Johnny Logan (1980, 1987, 1992 as the writer of the song) Extras: Corry Brokken was the only competitor who was placed at the first and at the last place (1957 and 1958) There are way more 0 point songs than winners.

I'm Dutch and it's sad that between 2005 and 2012 we were not at the finals, but when Anouk came with Birds in 2013 it got a new flare, and then 2019 came and... YES WE WON!

"Molitva" is still one of my favorite winning songs. Unlike the rest of Europe, I wasn't a big fan of Portugal 2017. I liked the song, it just wasn't my winner. (My favorites 2017 were Blance "City Lights" and Francesco Gabbani "Occidentali's Karma") Sending Alexander Rybak to the contest was mean. How could you not love that guy? He was so cute and sweet and he sang about fairytales and love. He had his violin and funny background dances who kicked hats off poles (for... some reason?). Everyone just f-ing loved him. Heck, I STILL love him. xD

Norway: holds the record for the highest Margin ever with what's regarded as the best Eurovision entry of the 21st century so far. ALSO Norway: holds the record of the most last places

In 2021, both the records for the highest note and the longest note were set (broken?). Highest note by Eden Alene (Israel) and longest note by Natalia Gordienko (Moldova)

Mary Spiteri who represented Malta 🇲🇹 in 1992 with the song 'Little Child' broke the record of the longest note which lasted 13 seconds.

Two fun records you can do on the next update, and both of the involve the 1958 Italian entry "Nel Blu Dipinto Di blu"! It is the first Eurovision song to hit Number One on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking there for 5 non-consecutive weeks starting on the week ending August 18, 1958. Also the song won Record of the Year and Song of the Year Grammys in 1959, the first year of the Grammys!

Fun video! A few more I'd mention: - Besides the second places, the UK also has the longest continuous run of appearances. Following their one and only withdrawal in 1958, they came back in 1959 and haven't sat the contest out since. - Spain, I believe, have the longest run of appearances for a country that never withdrew. They debuted in 1961 and have never withdrawn from the contest since. (The other countries that have never withdrawn are Latvia, Albania, Azerbaijan, Australia, and Moldova) - Austria had the longest wait between wins for a country that's won more than once. It took them 48 years to score their second win after achieving their first in 1966. If Spain should win the contest anytime soon, they'll beat that record handily.

You can also add in ages, because of eurovision 2021: the first winner to be born in 21st century (Thomas Raggi,the guitarist, born in january 18th 2001) The youngest eurovision partecipant, considering the birth and not the age: Stefania Liberkakis (born in december 17th 2002) Always considering the birth dates and not the age: Rotterdam 2021 the context with the youngest partecipants actually (Måneskin, Tusse, Destiny, Roxen,Stefania etc..)

We need to change UK second place to 16 now 🤯😂

Spain is also the country that has not won the longest since its last victory. 50 years and up. (From 1969)

Belgium: most 4th places

Norway usually sends a song who people will remember, sometimes its weird. But when we do win, its one hella good song who will foreber be remembered

Nocturne by Secret Garden is an absolute masterpiece and I don't care if I'm biased (half Norwegian and British as well as it winning the year I was born) That song is gorgeous and timeless ❤

Records update as of 2022: First song: Impossible to break Longest song: Impossible to break with current rules Shortest song: Not broken since the video Longest intro: Not broken in 2021 or 2022, I don't think it was broken in 2020 either Longest title: Not broken since the video (idk if there are any rules for the maximum title length) Shortest title: "I.M" is counted by some, although the dot means it's technically 3 characters unlike the current record holders which are all 2 characters Least lyrics: Not broken since the video Oldest winner: Not broken since the video Youngest winner: Impossible to break with current rules Oldest contestant: Not broken since the video (unless you count Subwoolfer) Oldest contestant by birth date: Not broken since the video and extremely unlikely to be broken (unless you count Subwoolfer again) Youngest contestant: Impossible to be broken with current rules Most participations: Not broken since the video Longest gap between two participations: Not broken since the video Most points: Not broken since the video Biggest winning margin: Not broken since the video Smallest winning margin: Not matched since the video, impossible to break Longest qualification streak: Still Ukraine, but now with 13 (note that the 12 in the video is wrong and should actually be 11 since they also automatically qualified in 2007 due to a top 10 placement in 2006) Longest qualification streak without withdrawing: Sweden (9: 2011-present), assuming automatic qualifications and 2020 don't count as breaking the streak Longest non-qualification streak: Not broken since the video. Impossible to match until 2024/break until 2025 (2025/2026 if Andorra doesn't return in 2023) Most 12 points: Kalush Orchestra - Stefania (televoting): 28 Most victories: Not broken since this video Most second places: Still United Kingdom, but now 16 (second place in 2022) Most last places: Not broken since the video (the website I found only includes grand finals which means it's missing the NQs and another website had semi-finals but only up to 2012; also counting Norway 2012 as a last place is kind of inaccurate because it placed above 8 NQs in SF2) Most participations: Still Germany but now with 65 (or 66 if you count 2020) Fewest participations: Not matched since the video, impossible to break (since countries with 0 entries are not counted here) Longest wait to win (not won yet): Still Cyprus, now with 37 entries Longest wait to win (not won yet/actual years): Still Malta Slowest victory: Not broken since the video (earliest this could be matched by years is if Malta wins in 2024, earliest this could be matched by entries is if Cyprus wins in 2034) Quickest victory: No countries have debuted since the video, impossible to break, could be matched if another country debuts

Two mistakes: 1.- The song with the less amount of words is "Aava" by Edea (Finland, 1998). It has only six words in all the song. 2.- Cyprus also withdraw in 1988. Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽

Fairytale is the best eurovision song ever in my opinion

I love how Serbia just come in and is like a'right hand the thropy-

To add: the most amount of winners before the tie breaking rule was put in place was 4 in 1969: United Kingdom, Spain, the Netherlands and France

Lowest points ever: England 2021, zero points (from judges and public 😆) I did like the song, but danggg

Actually the longest advancing from a semifinal streak is 8 years and belongs to Hungary 🇭🇺 (2011 - 2018), Greece 🇬🇷 and Romania 🇷🇴 (2008 - 2015), followed by 7 years from Russia 🇷🇺 (2010 - 2016), Ukraine 🇺🇦 and Iceland 🇮🇸 (2008 - 2014). Another which you forgot: The longest period between a country's two successive participations is 25 years and belongs to Monaco 🇲🇨 (1979 - 2004). A possible comeback of Morocco 🇲🇦 or Luxembourg 🇱🇺 will break this record. Also: which Eurovision song has the most lyrics?

Every other country: Winning is so hard :C Serbia: Pffff, watch us :D

I love this so much, thank you for the video

One record not included is one held by Sweden and unless the competition changes it will not be broken: Worst result for hosting country. 1992 Christer Björkman placed second to last as the competition was held in Sweden. Since we now have semi-finals and the host country is autoqualified to the finals no host country can ever place as bad in modern day eurovision. Sure, a host country can (and have) place last in the finals, but then other countries have worse places having not qualified to the final

Now Ukraine’s qualification streak is 13 :D

Fairytale is so iconic

You could now add the highest note ever hit was a B6 by Eden Alene from Israel

04:45 Greece also qualified 8 times in a row without withdrawal ( 2008 - 2015 )

Where's the biggest diffrence between jury and televoting ? :-P

Great compilation and very informative. Thank you!

Very interesting video. Thank you for posting!

0:35 5 minutes is quite long, nowadays 3 minutes is maximum set by the Eurovision

Israel's entry form 1983 should be spelled "Chai" (or "Khai") not "Hi" since it means "Alive" not "Hello"... Nice work anyway, I loved the variety and the originality of the info. The one with Lale Andersen being the first born contestant. What a brilliant piece of info, thanks.

Engelbert Humperdinck (United Kingdom 2012) is currently the oldest SOLO aritist as he was 74 at the time.

I feel like Yugoslavia deserves an entry as the only winner guaranteed not to win again.

this video is really informative & interesting im impressed

New record: Ukraine's 2021 entry "Shum" is the best Eurovision song ever. Much love from PH 🇵🇭

The record song with the fewest words was not Nocturne for Norway 1995, but Rendez Vous by Belgium 1983. 12 words in total. Repeated several times, but 12 words only. Sung in Dutch, but the title was in French

I absolutely loved this video, I just found it so funny🤣

I wished you include the most viewed M.V in UKposts 🙂🙂🙂

Damn. I hoped to see Norway with some records, but not one of them being the most last places

Cries in norwegian

Jaime la vie is one of my favourite performances in ESC

great video!

Next time you can make a fourth category about the contests, for example the contest with the longest time between the start and the first song. This was the contest 1989 in Switzerland. Other possibilities are the longest contest, the shortest contest, the contest with the most entries, the contest with the most "participants" (for example måneskin count as four participants because they have four band members) etc. In the category country you can use the record for the highest/lowest average points, using the most different languages, having the most/least entries in the native language,

I was kinda hoping for some records about singing it self as well, for example, longest note, highest, lowest and whatever else you could think of

I'm suprised nobody commented yet about Moldova this year with the longest note, it was 17 sec

Great Video.

Niamh Kavanagh is a treasure and I love when she's included in highlight clips

Seán Patrick Michael Sherrard (born 13 May 1954), better known by his stage name Johnny Logan, is an Irish singer and composer. He is known as being the only performer to have won the Eurovision Song Contest twice, in 1980 and 1987. He also composed the winning song in 1992.[1][2] Logan first won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1980, with the song "What's Another Year" written by Shay Healy. In 1984, Logan composed the song "Terminal 3" which placed second at Eurovision, performed by Linda Martin.[3] He won the contest for a second time in 1987 with "Hold Me Now", which he also wrote himself. His third win came in 1992, as composer of Linda Martin's winning entry "Why Me?".

And Azerbaijan sending most beautiful women ever: Aysel, Safura, Samra🇦🇿❤️

What about the biggest jury-televote gap. I’m not sure who it is, but I think it is Benjamin Ingrosso from Sweden 🇸🇪 or in terms of percentage maybe even Lake Malawi. Also, I believe the smallest gap in points is Saara Aalto (23 points from each) but again I haven’t researched and I do intend to

i still dont see how that portuguese dude got so much love.

Gotta love it when you win «most last places»😎

The most points ever was in 2009 by Norway. Even though he had 387, thats more jury points than Portugal. Teleporting was not introduced, so who knows how many points he could have gotten, making Alexander Rabak the title of most points ever.

6:59 - this record is so fascinating after 3:52, Portugal didn't won single time until 2017, when they made the record of having the most points in history

Jetty Paerl was a singer on the dutch resistance radio in Londen during ww2

Good video, thank you

🇸🇪 is coming for our record 🇮🇪 big time.

This needs an update

Portugal with the longest streak without winning and then we win, with a song that broke two records (tied one), it felt amazing as a Portuguese myself

Sandra was 13. Incredible

XD My country was in this. Yeah Sandra Kim was pretty young when she got Belgium's only win. She still is a killer singer imo

What about to do the Junior Eurovision records?

Finally the best song ever in Eurovision: Euphoria! Hands down, no competition, I get chills everytime I hear that song

UK has also one 2nd place, in 2022

Laura Põldvere also helds a record - only singer to perform both different times in same country - Ukraine (2005 and 2017)

do a category about, Longest time between wins!!! That would be fun to know. It will probably be the Netherlands or Italy idk

I'm from the UK and we have had 15 SECOND PLACES! like my god..... And our entry this year, well.... It was..... *INTERESTING*

Another record Greece currently has the longest streak of top 10s (2004-2011) from 2001-2022 The runner ups are Azerbaijan and Sweden tied with 6

Some more facts Tacasa has the record of the larges age gap -73 - between the members. Bassist Emil Ramsauer, was 95 (born 1918), and their youngest member, singer Sarah Breiter, was 22 (born 1991) Irland is the only country with 3 wins in a row. Lordi was the first Hard Rock band who won the contest. English is the most Winning language. (31) The Longest Contest was in Vienna 2015 (3 hours 59 minutes) The Sortest Frankfurt-am-Main, 1957 (1 hour, 9 minutes At 1969 Four countries won the contest, the first time ever a tie-break situation had occurred. France is the first country to win the contest four times. Longest Note: Albania 2017 Lindita Halimi 20 seconds Riverdance was first performed during the interval act of Eurovision Song Contest 1994. One of the most popular interval acts in the history of the contest Luxembourg has won 5 times. But none of the 5 winners came from Luxembourg. Four were French and one (Vicky Leandros) Greek

If danny wins the UMK21, he will break the record of the longest song tittle

What about the youngest contestant ever by birth date? I think it's Zena (Belarus 2019), who was born in 2002. Edit: now it's Stefania (Greece 2020 & 2021), who was born in December 2002.

Serbia:comes first time Eurovision:U win

Another three records: The year with the least participating countries: 1956, with only 7 countries participating that year. However, the year with the least songs would be tied between 1957 and 1958, both years had only 10 songs. The year with the most participating countries: 2008, 2011, and 2018, all three years had 43 countries participating each year. Most consecutive participations for the same artist: 3 consecutive years. Lys Assia (1956-1958,) Corry Brokken (1956-1958,) Udo Jurgens (1964-1966,) Ellen Nikolaysen (1973-1975,) nd Valentina Monetta (2012-2014) have all competed three times in a row.
