Hence, Loreen is the big winner of this year’s #ESC250 with her song “Euphoria“. Loreen represented Sweden in Eurovision 2012 with Euphoria and in 2023 with Tattoo which ended up in 2nd place.

Hungary: MTVA is not going to broadcast Eurovision 2024!

This year’s Eurovision Song Contest 2024 will not be broadcast in Hungary!

Hungary’s national broadcaster, MTVA, will not broadcast the Eurovision contest this year either. The last time this central European country took part was in 2019 and since then it has not broadcast the competition again. The previous time the country withdrew from the competition, in 2010 for financial reasons, the three nights were broadcast normally.

Hungary withdrew in 2019 ahead of Eurovision 2020. When the EBU in November 2019 published the list of participating countries, Hungary was missing. The state channel did not make any public statement about the reasons for the withdrawal.

In the country’s last participation in Eurovision 2019, it was represented for the second time by Joci Pápai and the song “Az én apám” without, however, being able to qualify for the final as it finished in 12th place in the first semi-final.

Hungary: This would have been the Hungarian entry in Malmö! | It won the A Dal 2024!

Last Saturday took place the final of the A Dal show, the music competition through which Hungary used to pick up their entry for the Eurovision Song Contest, until they withdrew from the contest in 2020.

The winner of the A Dal 2024 was László Evelin with the song Legényes.

The reasons behind the absence of Hungary from Eurovision are the high cost of participation, the anti-LGBT sentiment of the Hungarian government and the mentality of the public towards these aspects.

Apart from the aforementioned reasons, another one is the big success of the A Dal show, which still goes on despite the absence of the country. Actually the A Dal rating were even higher than those of the Eurovision Song Contest.

Had this been the Hungarian entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2023, what would have been its fate in this year’s contest? Let us know your opinion the comments below.

Hungary: This would have been the Hungarian entry in Liverpool! | It won the A Dal 2023!

Last Saturday took place the final of the A Dal show, the music competition through which Hungary used to pick up their entry for the Eurovision Song Contest, until they withdrew from the contest in 2020.

The winners of the A Dal 2023 were the band TITAN, descended from the Transylvania region, with the song Éjféli járat.

The reasons behind the absence of Hungary from Eurovision are the high cost of participation, the anti-LGBT sentiment of the Hungarian government and the mentality of the public towards these aspects.

Apart from the aforementioned reasons, another one is the big success of the A Dal show, which still goes on despite the absence of the country. Actually the A Dal rating were even higher than those of the Eurovision Song Contest.

The Hungarian national broadcaster is not going to broadcast this year’s song contest as it can be evidently seen in their programming schedule.

The Central-European country withdrew from Eurovision in 2020 and has not returned ever since.Their last participation to date remains their 2019 entry “Az en apam” by Joci Papai which failed to qualify for the Grand Final.The country’s best resulting entry to date is their debut one,Kinek mondjam el vétkeimet?,sang by Friderika,which reached a respectable 4th place.Ever since their debut,Hungary has reached the top 10 five times,including two top 5 placements (1994,2014).

Hungary had a really impressive qualification streak from 2011 to 2018 and has only failed to qualify for the Grand Final 3 times.

The most successful Eurovision countries in the 20s!

Eurovision is heading to the third decade of the 21st century and it has clearly changed not only in comparison with the past, but also with the recent years. In this article we investigate how countries scored during the first 2 years of the 20s, as well as their average score.

As you can see below, we cannot identify a group of 5-6 performing performing always well, as it used to happen the last years. Only a few countries are consistently doing well, despite the fact that the scores studied are only of the last 2 years. Tougher competition, the success of the contest on social media (TikTok had a business partnership with the contest this year featuring exclusive clips of the first rehearsals on the platform), as well as the high interest by record labels are only some of the reasons why it is harder to perform consistently well, since entries are of higher lever than the past.

Lets see in detail the average score of the countries during this decade:

Country        2022   2021    Average

  1. Ukraine           1          5             3
  2. Italy                 6          1            3,5
  3. Greece             8         10            9
  4. Sweden           4         14             9
  5. Russia             –           9             9
  6. Switzerland    17        3             10
  7. Moldova          7        13            10
  8. Serbia              5         15            10
  9. Portugal          9         12           10.5
  10. Lithuania       14         8             11
  11. France            24         2             13
  12. Spain               3         24           13.5
  13. Iceland          23          4            13.5
  14. Finland          21          6            13.5
  15. United Kingdom 2     26           14
  16. Norway           10         18            14
  17. The Netherlands 11     23          17
  18. Azerbaijan     16          20            18
  19. Belgium          19         19             19
  20. Armenia         20          –              20
  21. Malta               35          7             21
  22. Estonia           13         31             22
  23. Poland            12         33            22.5
  24. Cyprus            29         16            22.5
  25. Romania        18          28            23
  26. Israel              30          17           23.5
  27. Albania          28          21           24.5
  28. Australia        15          34           24.5
  29. Bulgaria         38          11           24.5
  30. Germany        25          25            25
  31. Croatia           26          27           26.5
  32. St. Marino     33          22           27.5
  33. Czech Republic 22     36             29
  34. Denmark        31         29             30
  35. North Macedonia 27 35             31
  36. Austria           36         30             33
  37. Ireland           34         37            35.5
  38. Latvia             32         39            35.5
  39. Slovenia         40        32              36
  40. Montenegro   37         –                37
  41. Georgia           39       38             38.5

As you can see in the table above, there are very few countries where the average of their positions in these two years is below 10. This proves how difficult it has become to be in the top ten. It is even more difficult to have continuous results within top 10, since only three countries have achieved this, Ukraine, Italy and Greece!

It is evident that Italy and Ukraine are the two powerhouses of the competition for this decade (so far). Sweden remains high on the list, but far from the first place it was in the last decade. Greece is recovering dynamically since it is in third place, when in the previous decade it was out of the 20s. Cyprus gets lower scores year by year, unfortunately making us believe that 2018 was just a coincidence and is currently in 24th place!

Regardless of personal taste and opinions, the numbers speak themselves and is clear that Ukraine, Italy and Greece are doing great during this decade. The new strategy of the management of ERT to chose the artist and the song internally, is proven to be successful, after years of bad results and 2 NQ (2016,2018).
