🖼 Fan Content / OC Eurovision countries by their longest Top 10 streak (SINCE 2004)

Post image

Currently we have a tie between Greece and Italy for the longest ever top 10 streaks. Greece had theirs from 2004 to 2011, however had Aphrodisiac (Greece 2012) placed top 10, their streak would have extended to 10 years in a row. Italy’s streak is currently ongoing and has been since Occidentali’s Karma (Italy 2017). I think it’s pretty likely that, unless some disaster occurs in Sanremo 2026, Italy will extend their streak and break the record. In terms of the other powerhouses, Ukraine is currently ongoing its longest top 10 streaks, with theirs starting with Shum (Ukraine 2021), while Sweden’s current streak is not its longest. Sweden’s 6-year streak was from 2014 to 2019, and they currently have a streak of 4, coming top 10 every year since Hold Me Closer (Sweden 2022). The only other currently participating countries with ongoing streaks greater than 1 year are France, Switzerland, and Israel. Which countries do you think could get long streaks in the near future?

Quick unfortunate shoutout to Estonia, who has come top 10 on six different occasions since 2004 (2009, 2012, 2015, 2018, 2023, and 2025), yet none of those were consecutive, so they sadly remain at the bottom of the tierlist. However, if they come top 10 in 2026, they will have a streak for the first time!

You just write [ !setflair country year ], so old songs are still avaible to be a flair, it's not blocked to a specific year

I think this post can help you understand how flairs work!

When we are lazy we scratch them, when we want to guard against bad luck and curses we touch them, when we are annoyed someone is breaking them, when we are angry they are spinning, when we don't care we beat them, when we we lie we narrate them and when we are bored they drop down. I am beginning to think we are a very testicles centered culture and I don't even have them lol

As a Greek who has Italy as his favourite Eurovision country, I don’t know if I should celebrate or be sad when you guys beat our record 💀 (cause lbr Italy will probably reach a 15 year top 10 streak before it ends atp)

u/xoxoamazingrace Jun 16 '25 edited Jun 16 '25

Italy’s on a top 7 streak, which is insane. Sometimes you can reach the lower top 10 by a score from 160-190 points, but to be top 7 all the way you need like 250 points at least. Depending on the year you may find yourself in the top 5 if you score about 250 points

You're right. It was the 3rd instance, and the first in over 50 years.

  3. Lena in 2011.

u/An22x Jun 17 '25 edited Jun 17 '25

Eurofans consistently ignore Germany's achievements and pretend that it is doing worse than Spain and the UK, when in reality Germany is doing better than them in just about any metric.

Since 2004, Germany has had a victory and four more Top10 results (4th, 8th, 8th, 10th).

Spain literally only had Chanel on 3rd and barely made it into the Top10 three times (10th, 10th, 10th).

The UK only had Sam Ryder and Jade Ewen, nobody else.

Germany's track record simply looks bad because it's absurdly good at collecting 25th-26th places, whereas Spain and the UK somehow manage to finish 24th most years.

u/TheBigBdouMachine Jun 17 '25 edited Jun 17 '25

Also we can add that Germany's record from the beginning of the televoting era from 1998 to 2003 was extremely good especially from a "Big 4" country (at the time Italy didn't take part in the contest, when they came back in 2011, they were included in the current "Big 5"). They had a streak of 4 Top 10 results (7th in 1998 / 3rd in 1999 / 5th in 2000 / 8th in 2001) and finished 11th in 2003 (only in 2002 they finished in the bottom five - 21st).

Only Spain managed to do nearly as good with a streak of 3 Top 10 results from 2001 to 2003 (6th in 2001 / 7th in 2002 / 8th in 2003) (not counting 2004 even though they also finished in the Top 10 - 10th - as I'm focusing on 1998 to 2003 period). Although before these great results, they had some poor results especially from 1998 to 2000 - 16th in 1998 / 23rd (last) in 1999 / 18th in 2000.

Even the UK who won in 1997 (but at the time it was not fully the televoting system which was used - although some countries had tested it) didn't do as the good in that period. Except a 2nd place finish in 1998 and a 3rd place in 2002, they had very average placement (12th in 1999 / 16th in 2000 / 15th in 2001) with the culmination of their infamous 2003 entry and their first ever last place finish with Nul points.

And finally France had the worse run out of the "Big 4" countries in that timespan (1998 to 2003) with three consecutive bottom 5 placement from 1998 to 2000 (24th / 19th / 23rd) before having a resurgence with back-to-back Top 5 finishes in 2001 & 2002 (4th & 5th) before having another tumble in 2003 - 18th.

TL;DR : So all in all even before 2004, Germany had a very underrated run and was the leading country of the "Big 4" at the time.

u/Vusal_Mahmudlu Run with U Jun 17 '25

The real problem is that Azerbaijan no longer takes Eurovision seriously. Not just the government, but also the general population has lost interest in the contest. The main reason is that this competition has forgotten its roots as a true music contest and has instead become a platform to promote political agendas or various movements. This has made it unappealing to the people of this country.

Azerbaijan is a multicultural country, but still, the constant promotion of LGBTQ+ themes, which have now taken over Europe, is not well received here. Because of this, interest in Eurovision has naturally faded. The 2024 winner, for example, performed in a short skirt and sang about their nonbinary identity, something you simply can’t show people here. They will immediately change the channel because to them this is disgusting. This country is not ready for such things. Whether not being ready is a good or bad thing is another discussion entirely. But that’s just how it is.

As for whether the songs are successful or not, it’s true that even after Azerbaijan’s so-called golden era, there have still been some really good entries. But for some reason, maybe a wave of general hate or something else, I don’t know. Even when there are genuinely good songs, they either fail to pass the first round or, if they make it through, they still can’t get into the top 10.

Take the 2025 song, for example. It wasn’t particularly strong, but it wasn’t weak either. Yet despite that, it didn’t qualify, while other songs that were clearly worse somehow did.

u/QMechanicsVisionary Asteromáta Jun 17 '25

I thought it was a particularly strong entry, but according to most people (not me), the live performance really let it down.

u/Savings_Ad_2532 Volevo Essere Un Duro Jun 16 '25

Azerbaijan finished in the following positions between 2009 and 2013: 3rd in 2009, 5th in 2010, 1st in 2011, 4th in 2012, and 2nd in 2013. Their songs were all by Swedish songwriters during this period, which could help explain why they scored so high those years.

28

u/xoxoamazingrace Jun 16 '25

I always thought those entires were great though. Like we can debate whether how high of a placement they deserved but I wasn’t surprised to see them do well at least. I found it deserved as Azerbaijan really raised the bar back then

Sad to see how they’ve completely lost the plot now though

u/Savings_Ad_2532 Volevo Essere Un Duro Jun 16 '25

Surprisingly, none of them were co-written by Thomas G:Son. However, other Swedish songwriters such as Anderz Wrethov (Azerbaijan 2009, Cyprus 2018, Sweden 2019, Sweden 2021. and Sweden 2025), Anders Bagge (Azerbaijan 2010, Azerbaijan 2012, 2nd place to Cornelia Jakobs (Sweden 2022) at Melodifestivalen), Sandra Bjurman (Azerbaijan 2010, Azerbaijan 2011, Azerbaijan 2012, Azerbaijan 2017), and Stefan Örn (Azerbaijan 2010-2012) were involved in Azerbaijan’s entry.

There were no Swedish songwriters involved with Azerbaijan 2013, but Dimitris Kontopoulos (Ukraine 2008, Russia 2016, Russia 2019, Greece 2020-2021, Moldova 2020-2021, Cyprus 2024-2025) was involved with that year’s entry.

"Which countries do you think could get long streaks in the near future?" Italy will very likely continue their one and broke the record next year, also Sweden, Ukraine and (sigh) Israel will likely continue theirs. For other countries I see France also continuing it but they can slip out a single year and broke it, same goes for Switzerland. For new countries Idk, i don't see anyone so consistently good.

This is interesting to me in light of the recent posts we’ve had about an anti-eastern europe bias in the judging.

Out of the 8 nations with longest streaks, we have Greece, Italy, Azerbaijan, Sweden, Armenia, Russia, Ukraine, and Turkey. That seems like eastern european countries have been doing pretty well!

Edit: since some people think I’m claiming that the likes of Italy and Sweden are Eastern European. I’m not. I was pointing out that 5 or 6 (depending on your definition) of these 8 are Eastern European.

23

u/ponjo_89 Jun 16 '25 edited Jun 16 '25

I mean considering all these streaks happened mainly when juries weren’t in Eurovision, yes. The anti-Eastern bias is very real since all these countries started being marked down a lot by juries compared to the televote.

Greece specifically has scored higher with juries than televote only once, which means 12/13 times the public has ranked their song higher than juries, which is crazy considering the juries mostly do the opposite with Western countries🧐

3

u/overactor Jun 16 '25

You could also interpret this as the televote marking up eastern European entries, and at least that has plausible explanation for what m why it could be happening. (diaspora voting)

2

u/TheHabro Jun 16 '25

So let me get this straight. Juries from Eastern Europe are continuously snubbing Eastern European entries?

2

u/FeelTheKetasy Jun 17 '25

No but when the EE juries are going out of their way to not favour their own a lot (because we only need one year where EE countries to better than Western ones for the “SSR propaganda” discussion to start again) while the Western juries only reward their own, you can see why EA has a disadvantage here

1

u/TheHabro Jun 17 '25

I'm confused, if Eastern Europe doesn't vote for Eastern Europeans, nor does the rest of Europe, how do Eastern European countries get to top 10 places? (In jury voting) Latvia and Estonia this year, Croatia and Ukraine 2024, Estonia and Czechia 2023 (and Lithuania was 11th too).

Where did their points come from? How did North Macedonia win jury in 2019?

u/ponjo_89 Jun 17 '25

You are literally nitpicking trying to find some entries that did well with the juries over the past 15 years. We’re talking more than 500 songs. Of course there’s gonna be SOME songs out of those that juries have marked well, but if you look at the majority and bigger picture, it’s clear as day that Western countries have been pushed in an extremely unbalanced way. If you can only find a handful of examples, that literally proves the point. And don’t tell me that Croatia or North Macedonia are exactly favoured by juries other than this one time they got a good result.

Also I’d hardly consider Estonia, Czechia, Latvia eastern countries. They’re northern and share more similarities with Nordics I’d say than eastern countries like the Balkans. I mean if you look at the amount of countries, and which countries have withdrawn in the past few years due to western favouritism, it’s shows a clear pattern. Bulgaria, Turkey, Romania, North Macedonia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Moldova.

u/TheHabro Jun 18 '25

You are literally nitpicking trying to find some entries that did well with the juries over the past 15 years. We’re talking more than 500 songs.

I am not nitpicking lol. Since 2014 (so in last 10 competitions), only 2014 and 2022 had 1 Eastern European country in top 10 jury (though in 2022 Serbia was 11th). All the rest had at least 2 Eastern European countries, emphasis on at least.

Of course there’s gonna be SOME songs out of those that juries have marked well, but if you look at the majority and bigger picture, it’s clear as day that Western countries have been pushed in an extremely unbalanced way.

So why does it come to bias and not the fact Western countries send better songs? Really, Sweden and Italy are most consistent countries, everyone else has better and worse years. Even Austria or Switzerland don't do well every year. UK and Germany almost always do bad, yet they're not Eastern Europe. So why can't this be true of Eastern Europe?

And don’t tell me that Croatia or North Macedonia are exactly favoured by juries other than this one time they got a good result.

So if we ignore all good songs Eastern Europe sends, they are doing bad? No shit.

I can tell you for Croatia, no one here think we a sent a top 10 songs since mid 2000s before Let 3 and Baby Lasagna. And obviously, in 2023 everyone expected Let 3 to do bad in jury not because of bias toward Croatia, but because of performance.

The moment we sent a quality song, it was recognized by juries.

lso I’d hardly consider Estonia, Czechia, Latvia eastern countries. They’re northern and share more similarities with Nordics I’d say than eastern countries like the Balkans. I mean if you look at the amount of countries, and which countries have withdrawn in the past few years due to western favouritism, it’s shows a clear pattern. Bulgaria, Turkey, Romania, North Macedonia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Moldova.

So we are moving goal posts? The discussion was about former Communist block. Regardless, obviously if you decrease number of countries in a group, of course that there will be less chance for one of those countries to do well.

btw did you mean Lithuania instead of Czechia?

Secondly, financing is a bigger issue for smaller countries than just jury not voting for them. This is why Moldova didn't send an entry this year, but is expected to return next year. BiH has some debts that need to paid to EBU before it can return (though there is a lot of politics involved). If I am not mistaken Turkey has also withdrawn for political reasons.

Now, even if a country claims they quit for bias, it doesn't mean bias exists. Just that people think it exists. Take for an example, Bulgaria. They had a non qualifying streak between 2008 and 2013, quit, came back in 2017 and between 2017 and 2021 were in juries top 10 every single competition. They again failed to qualify in 2022 (but not because of jury, 14th in televote, 15th in jury in their semi final) and quit again. Even if they claim jury is biased against them, it's just not true.

North Macedonia is opposite. They rarely qualified to finals. But looking at voting since 2012, only once they would qualify via televote, and twice via jury only (in all 3 case they didn't qualify just to be clear). So there's no evidence of bias against North Macedonia, unless you want to claim both the public and jury hate North Macedonia. Actually, the fact they won jury in 2019 speaks that there's only bias against bad songs, not countries.

Romania would qualify more often than not, but without stellar results. Similarly like North Macedonia, sometimes they'd do better with jury, sometimes with televote. There's no evidence of bias.

Also, more Eastern European countries quit, there will earn less points (except for favourites) because of tendency of both public and jury to favour neighbouring countries.

Out of all of these only Ukraine and Russia are actual Eastern Europe, though. Greece is on the cusp. It's more East than West, but doesn't 100% fit with either.

Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Turkey basically exist in their own category, because they're too far away to really match the East/West divide of the continent. For example, I live in Eastern Europe and I'm closer to Paris than Baku.

Italy and Sweden are considered east Europe too? Is Finland east Europe too?

I always considered Finland an honorary member of Eastern Europe. They kind of fit with us, in spirit.

None of top 8 are Western Europe though. Italy and Greece south, Sweden nordic. Russia and Ukraine are eastern.

Eastern European bias makes no sense because both Eastern European juries and public vote too. It's not like only Western countries get to vote.

Germany and UK are famous for doing bad and they're not Eastern Europe.

Italy and Sweden are obviously not eastern, and even Greece is debatable

Love the random starting year to generate results OP likes

2004 is the year we got semifinals and a whole bunch of countries debuting.

It's infinitely more impressive to come Top10 out of 35+, than it is to come Top10 out 15.

u/Silent_Slip_4250 Jun 17 '25

Still a bit random. 1994 had almost double the number of debuting countries and had 26 participants.

OP’s Greece wouldn’t be at the top of his list if he hadn’t chosen the random start date.

From what I can see from their profile, OP is German what are you on? 😭

Many see 2004 as the start of the modernisation of Eurovision it’s not rare for people to use it as a starting point for lists like these. Trust me, Greece would’ve been fine even if they started at 2000

u/thatdominoguy Asteromáta Jun 16 '25

this tierlist is not about ongoing streaks but longest streaks that a country had since 2004. Greece made the top 10 every year from 2004 to 2011, an 8 year streak
