Last year, Marcus and Martinus represented Sweden with the song “Unforgettable” and took 9th place in the grand final, mainly thanks to the jury vote. In fact, Sweden is one of the most successful countries in the competition. From 2014 to 2024, it has been in the top ten every year, with the exception of Tusse’s 14th place in 2021. Will the series of successes continue in 2025?
