Top 10 Most Successful Eurovision Entries (2004-Present) Based On % of Maximum Available Points Received

Because the voting system and the number of participating countries are constantly changing it's hard to gauge how good an entry compares to ones from other years based on the raw points received or their place in the final. Therefore, the most accurate way to compile a ranking is probably by % or maximum available points received.

If you're asking why it's only after 2004 it's because I'm not that crazy and I'm not gonna calculate EVERY single year 🤣 2004 was the first contest I watched in full so it's a good starting point for me.

But in case you're wondering, the most successful entry EVER is Anne-Marie David's Tu te reconnaîtras, representing Luxembourg in 1973 and receiving 80.6% of the maximum possible points!

1. 🇳🇴 Norway - 2009 - Alexander Rybak - Fairytale - 78.6%

2. 🇸🇪 Sweden - 2015 - Måns Zelmerlöw - Heroes - 77.9%

3. 🇵🇹 Portugal - 2017 - Salvador Sobral - Amar pelos dois - 77%

4. 🇸🇪 Sweden - 2012 - Loreen - Euphoria - 75.6%

5. 🇨🇭 Switzerland - 2024 - Nemo - The Code - 68.4%

6. 🇺🇦 Ukraine - 2022 - Kalush Orchestra - Stefania - 67.4%

7. 🇦🇹 Austria - 2014 - Conchita Wurst - Rise Like a Phoenix - 67.1%

8. 🇺🇦 Ukraine - 2004 - Ruslana - Wild Dances - 66.6%

9. 🇸🇪 Sweden – 2023 – Loreen – Tattoo – 66.5%

10. 🇫🇮 Finland - 2006 - Lordi - Hard Rock Hallelujah - 65.7%

I normally share a larger list of 100 acts in total, but immediately after the top 10, we start running into controversial acts or artists or countries or both, and I think we've had enough of that for a year. Let's at least rejoice in knowing that our top 10 is, finally, "clean"! Thank you Nemo for that!

Ok I just learned people hate Phoenix for saying edgeworth should’ve stayed gone in farewell my turnabout?? And I know I literally just posted about him and got all pissy at how people interpret him but I need to get this outta my system real quick so I’m going for round two

In the first game, Phoenix’s clear main objective was to save Edgeworth. This is shown both directly and indirectly several times throughout the game. And he finally makes progress in turnabout goodbyes, and then RFTA happens. And suddenly it’s all seemingly undone, and Phoenix has brought to light that Edgeworth, unwittingly or not, presented false evidence in court. Even though it was Gant who really pushed the issue, Phoenix was the first to put the pieces together and find the truth.

Through that case he watched Edgeworth sort of spiral because of this evidence, caught him writing a letter of resignation, watched Gant tear him down. And after that case, Edgeworth leaves the, “Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth chooses death” note. Can you imagine how that fucking wrecked Phoenix? How he probably in part blamed himself? Obviously Edgeworth was hurt too, that’s why he did it in the first place, but to work so hard to save your friend from what had been haunting them for years and to finally think you’ve helped them somehow, just for it to be destroyed by something you think you found out?

And after this, he pulls himself together and keeps doing cases, but he still grieves Edgeworth all through the second game. By the time Farewell happens, it’s been over a year that he’s thought Edgeworth was dead, and he still couldn’t bear hearing his name, or even thinking about him. And after this year of mourning and trying to move on, Edgeworth just pops up again like nothing happened. Phoenix felt betrayed, he felt extremely upset, and in a moment of high emotions he said something emotional. That’s not ridiculous! At all!! It doesn’t mean what he said was right, but I’ve seen people give him WAY too much shit for one line. If anything, I wish they had made him react more! More than a YEAR of thinking the man you changed careers for died and you couldn’t save him, and then he’s just. Back! Edgeworth needed that retreat, but it was a shitty way to go about it, and Phoenix wasn’t wrong to be mad. UGHHHH THESE CHARACTERS MAKE ME INSANE I’m like RFK Jr rn
