Eurovision countries by their longest Top 10 streak (SINCE 2004)

[u/thatdominoguy]

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!
