What were the 4 songs with the shortest titles please? I've been watching Eurovision since the 1970s ( most years) and didn't recognise the song played in the video.
Two of Ireland's Eurovision wins came from singer Johnny Logan. He won the contest in 1980 and 1987. To this day he remains the only person to have won the Eurovision Song Contest more than once.
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.
Pretty sure that's a myth. She's gorgeous, but camera angles are not left up to any single cameraman. Not now; and I seriously doubt they were in 1993 either. It's too important. That's the kind of thing they use the rehearsals for. Plus, it's not even a close-up on her face, it shows her and the drummer behind her. Maybe the cameraman fell for him? ;) But thanks for making me check it out, because that song is really good! I must have missed it before.
I have heard this from a lot of people but I think that Victoria and Thomas were born in the 21 century too, but just the previous year (2000) but yes, Thomas is the youngest
We totally deserve it though... Most of the songs I have heard have been shit, though Secret Garden and Bobbysocks are honestly quite good. I liked Fairytale, but listening to Rybak's live performance it sounds godawful XD
@@KayKay-fm4hg The record mentioned in the video was least total words, which goes to Norway's Nocturne, but OP is suggesting another record specifically about least unique words, not trying to correct the video
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🤯
Thats not relevant for 1967 and 1977 because in this years their are the rule to sing in their native language. And before 1965 it was not common to sing in another than the native language
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
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
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.
yep true, though we need to take into account the circumstances for that margin, the voting system essentially guaranteed every country would get atleast 2 points. Now comparing rybak with sobral another difficulty arises due to the different voting systems. Sobral got really unlucky that the voting system changed the year before, since if it were still under 2009 rules Portugal would've smashed not only Rybaks record points with 417 points, but he would've beaten Anne-Marie David in total percentage of points, with 82.7% compared to her 80.6%. Salvador Sobral's landslide victory was absolutely massive
@@JamesNewham Yes! Braking the longest winning streak is important aswell. I guess Rybak from Norway also won by the biggest margin ever so we actually have something to be proud of😁
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?
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!
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
"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
Thank you I thought I was the only one who didn't like 2017. I love Molitva for it's power balladness and it gives me chills. It's a great winner but.. Lasha Tumbai...Is iconic... how can you not love it? Also I agree about the Ryback thing.. the guy was my first grade crush! I think that's where my love for people who can play the violin came from.
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)
@@Botafogoplayground Spain is definitely the longest running country to compete every year since their debut, but not the only one, for an obvious example Australia also hasn't missed a year since 2015. But I believe there are a couple others, like Albania, competing every year since 2004.
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.
also malta is the country whise first participation was the longest ago but has yet to get a win, their debut was in 1971, but they had a 16 year absence in the second half of the seventies and eighties, so cyprus has had more non winning entries Spain is the country that hasn't won for the longest, their last win was in 1969 50 years ago, which is longer then malta and cyprus have had to wait
Some countries also never withdrew voluntarily, but only because of the relegation rule between 1995 and 2003. Those countries are Iceland, Slovenia, Estonia and North Macedonia.
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!
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..)
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
Smallest Winning Margin: Sweden 1991, Tiebreaker 146 - 146 vs France but they won on 10 Points bc both Countries had 4× 12 Points, so they watched at 10 Points and Sweden won 5-2 against France so actually Sweden had 151 Points and France 148 but that doesn't count! 🇸🇪🇫🇷
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 🇲🇽
The first one isn't a mistake, because it wasn't about the amount of different words, but rather about the total amount of lyrics in the song. I think Aava should have been included separately.
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
@@Solo-vh9fm but it did not place last in the finals, since it got jury votes... And that still doesn't even get close to last since 13 other entries didn't even qualify for the finals, so technically their placement was even worse than UK, who placed last in the grand final. So in fact the Netherlands was far from the last place, having 16 entries placing worse.
I mostly reacted to the fact that I feel like Sweden should have the place for most qualifications in a row, since we've only missed one final, in 2010. At least what I can think of. And if not that, then we should at least hold the record for most songs in the competition, because there are always several numbers every year that has some form of Swedish involvement. There's even a couple of contestants that has compeeted for other countries, but we're raised in Sweden, or with one Swedish parent. Helena Paparitzo (spelling?) That won for Greece in 2005, or the guy that compeeted for Estonia in 2019.
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?
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
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.
People guess that with the new system he would've gotten around 850 points. Passing Portugal 2017. Considering how many people still love and would've voted for this song (me included) I'm not suprised.
Actually, televote was already introduced and it had been the preferred method until juries were reintroduced in the 2009 final. According to the currently known split results, Alexander won juries with 312 points as well as televote with 378, which would make his overall result in a nowadays scoreboard 690 points.
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.
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
Surely has to be Michal Szpak. 7 points vs. 222 is 215, but it could also be Benjamin. Lake Malawi didn't have that many points. Lithuania only had one point difference in 2018 (90 and 91), and there might be other examples.
Die Kommentare Kommentiererin 253 vs 21 is 232. So dance you off is the biggest gap. But I’m assuming Michał is the next. For the smallest gap would definitely be Saara Aalto, or even Alexander Rybak in 2018 SF2 (133 points apiece). It really is crazy but at the same time you never want it to not be
@@wystxrr Like I said, "it could also be Benjamin". I wasn't sure how many jury points he got. What do you mean with smallest gap? But I believe there are smaller gaps than 23 points.
Die Kommentare Kommentiererin By smallest gap I mean the gap in points between jury and televote. Benjamin and Michal have the biggest. Saara Aalto got 23 points from jury and 23 points from the televote but as I write this I remember Levina from 2017 (3 points from jury and 3 points from televote). No other song can ever get lower or they’d have minus points and it would take a weird Eurovision system for that to happen, who knows maybe one day. That’s what I meant, does that answer your question?
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?".
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,
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
The greatest victory of all time was the song 'Non ho l'età,' performed by Gigliola Cinquetti in 1964, representing Italy, which garnered more than double the votes of the runner-up
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
Serbia winning with their first entry is a legendary move
The song was so powerful. A real masterpiece
probably rigged it to justify NATOs crimes

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)
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).
And also the only country, I think, that has never missed an edition since its debut in 1961.
@Mario Iglesias Israel too. 1978 and 1979
@Mario Iglesias Ireland is a special case seeing it was 3 years in a row.

@@Botafogoplayground Spain is definitely the longest running country to compete every year since their debut, but not the only one, for an obvious example Australia also hasn't missed a year since 2015.
But I believe there are a couple others, like Albania, competing every year since 2004.
We need to change UK second place to 16 now 🤯😂
Mary Spiteri who represented Malta 🇲🇹 in 1992 with the song 'Little Child' broke the record of the longest note which lasted 13 seconds.

I think that Moldova broke it yesterday (19 seconds)

Spain is also the country that has not won the longest since its last victory. 50 years and up. (From 1969)
Fernando Cambarao wow
we can say 52 years
Que triste.
@@lauracasero2849 Pues sí, la verdad...
Estaba buscando este comentario, ya tenemos un record en algo😎
Belgium: most 4th places
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.
Spain also has the song with the most la la in the history of Eurovision
also malta is the country whise first participation was the longest ago but has yet to get a win, their debut was in 1971, but they had a 16 year absence in the second half of the seventies and eighties, so cyprus has had more non winning entries
Spain is the country that hasn't won for the longest, their last win was in 1969 50 years ago, which is longer then malta and cyprus have had to wait
Some countries also never withdrew voluntarily, but only because of the relegation rule between 1995 and 2003. Those countries are Iceland, Slovenia, Estonia and North Macedonia.
Dimi Drug By that margin, you could also count Switzerland, Germany, and Belgium, since they were also only absent because of relegation
@@SuperJNG18 I forgot these.
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!
Im pretty sure the song is called "Volare".My classmates that had choir sung it on the school's end of the year concert.
@@callmeyasi wrong
Fairytale is the best eurovision song ever in my opinion
YO I AGREE 100%
I'd say euphoria and rise like a pheonix are both about the same quality as fairytale
agreed they even won the price for best eurovision song ever
I just added "Zitti e Buoni" to my list
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..)
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
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 ❤
It is! A real masterpiece. Also my favourite
That song is pure magic, my favorite too
Every other country: Winning is so hard :C
Serbia: Pffff, watch us :D
I love how Serbia just come in and is like a'right hand the thropy-

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)

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
Switzerland and Serbia has won at their debuts! 🇨🇭🇷🇸
Longest time without a win: Spain! 1969 LAST TIME! 🇪🇦
Smallest Winning Margin: Sweden 1991, Tiebreaker 146 - 146 vs France but they won on 10 Points bc both Countries had 4× 12 Points, so they watched at 10 Points and Sweden won 5-2 against France so actually Sweden had 151 Points and France 148 but that doesn't count! 🇸🇪🇫🇷
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 🇲🇽
The first one isn't a mistake, because it wasn't about the amount of different words, but rather about the total amount of lyrics in the song. I think Aava should have been included separately.
04:45 Greece also qualified 8 times in a row without withdrawal ( 2008 - 2015 )
A few countries that debuted in the ESC never went in last place
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
I love this so much, thank you for the video

Where's the biggest diffrence between jury and televoting ? :-P
Pastela Benjamin Ingrosso from Sweden 🇸🇪
@@wystxrr Nooo the biggest is Keiino Norway 2019
Przemysław S. Yep, you’re right. Benjamin has a difference of 231 points, KEiiNO has a difference of 251 points
Isn't Poland 2016 here the winner if we consider places?
@@icecranberry2148 Yes, but if we consider places. If we consider the difference in points, it's Norway 2019.
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
Austria did worse. Think they got last place with 0 points 2015. So they hold that record
Understand your point.. maybe youre right anyway!! Sorry
The Netherlands got 0 points from public votes so it kind of got broken
@@Solo-vh9fm but it did not place last in the finals, since it got jury votes... And that still doesn't even get close to last since 13 other entries didn't even qualify for the finals, so technically their placement was even worse than UK, who placed last in the grand final.
So in fact the Netherlands was far from the last place, having 16 entries placing worse.
I mostly reacted to the fact that I feel like Sweden should have the place for most qualifications in a row, since we've only missed one final, in 2010. At least what I can think of.
And if not that, then we should at least hold the record for most songs in the competition, because there are always several numbers every year that has some form of Swedish involvement.
There's even a couple of contestants that has compeeted for other countries, but we're raised in Sweden, or with one Swedish parent.
Helena Paparitzo (spelling?) That won for Greece in 2005, or the guy that compeeted for Estonia in 2019.
Engelbert Humperdinck (United Kingdom 2012) is currently the oldest SOLO aritist as he was 74 at the time.
0:35 5 minutes is quite long, nowadays 3 minutes is maximum set by the Eurovision
It's a good rule. And maybe some song that were 5 min long is the reason...
Now Ukraine’s qualification streak is 13 :D
And only country which has qualified in every contest since semi finals came
this video is really informative & interesting im impressed
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?
The most lyrics wr probably the longest song
2004, something starting with "nnaannanana"
You could now add the highest note ever hit was a B6 by Eden Alene from Israel

I'm suprised nobody commented yet about Moldova this year with the longest note, it was 17 sec
Jaime la vie is one of my favourite performances in ESC
Niamh Kavanagh is a treasure and I love when she's included in highlight clips
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
The record here is for the least words in total, not unique words. Plus, the holder of this record is a Finnish song that has half those words.
Good video, thank you
Great Video.
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.
People guess that with the new system he would've gotten around 850 points. Passing Portugal 2017.
Considering how many people still love and would've voted for this song (me included) I'm not suprised.
Actually, televote was already introduced and it had been the preferred method until juries were reintroduced in the 2009 final. According to the currently known split results, Alexander won juries with 312 points as well as televote with 378, which would make his overall result in a nowadays scoreboard 690 points.
@@escotiyaotl8869 And 2017 results had been calculated under the 2009 system, in which Salvador would have gotten 417 points, far more than Rybak
Cries in norwegian
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.

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
Surely has to be Michal Szpak. 7 points vs. 222 is 215, but it could also be Benjamin. Lake Malawi didn't have that many points. Lithuania only had one point difference in 2018 (90 and 91), and there might be other examples.
Die Kommentare Kommentiererin 253 vs 21 is 232. So dance you off is the biggest gap. But I’m assuming Michał is the next. For the smallest gap would definitely be Saara Aalto, or even Alexander Rybak in 2018 SF2 (133 points apiece). It really is crazy but at the same time you never want it to not be
@@wystxrr Like I said, "it could also be Benjamin". I wasn't sure how many jury points he got.
What do you mean with smallest gap? But I believe there are smaller gaps than 23 points.
Die Kommentare Kommentiererin By smallest gap I mean the gap in points between jury and televote. Benjamin and Michal have the biggest. Saara Aalto got 23 points from jury and 23 points from the televote but as I write this I remember Levina from 2017 (3 points from jury and 3 points from televote). No other song can ever get lower or they’d have minus points and it would take a weird Eurovision system for that to happen, who knows maybe one day. That’s what I meant, does that answer your question?
@@wystxrr Then it's 0 points, not 23. But yes, I got it now.
Sandra was 13. Incredible
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
Laura Põldvere also helds a record - only singer to perform both different times in same country - Ukraine (2005 and 2017)

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?".
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,
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
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
Gotta love it when you win «most last places»😎
4:18 the one for this year came really close: 631 to 466, which is a 165 gap!
The greatest victory of all time was the song 'Non ho l'età,' performed by Gigliola Cinquetti in 1964, representing Italy, which garnered more than double the votes of the runner-up

What about to do the Junior Eurovision records?
