They benefitted from the rule that countries had to sing in a national language until the late 90s. So Ireland was one of the few countries that was allowed English.

Before 2019 The Netherlands had 4 wins, with their last in 1975. Luxembourg hasn't taken part in almost 30 years, with their last win in 1983. It's quite impressive how certain countries can win all the time and then never in a really long time. The second and fourth contest were won by The Netherlands and third and fifth by France.

Probably because there were less entrants then, most of the Eastern European nations as well as former USSR didn't compete until the late '80s or early '90s

All countries that are a part of the EBU (European Broadcasting Union) can compete in Eurovision. Israel is not part of Europe, but they are part of EBU and can therefore compete in Eurovision (just like other countries such as Cyprus, Azerbaijan and Georgia etc). Even Australia have competed despite not being part of Europe or EBU.

Well, Scandinavia provided the Eurovision prototypical song ("Waterloo" by ABBA), so they kinda know how to win this contest.

Fun sidenote, the least "Waterloo"-esque song to win the Eurovision also came from Scandinavia: "Hard Rock Hallelujah!" by Lordi, Finland's only victory.

In the early years the Eurovision audiences used to laugh a lot at how much Norway, Denmark and Sweden would vote for each other. Especially in 1963, the first Scandi win, where Norway actually seemed to change its votes round to ensure that Denmark won. They've never stopped doing it, of course.

The funny thing is, I seriously doubt they would. Current fans absolutely hate the idea of the US at Eurovision and besides big names don't always perform well. For example Norway's Alexander Rybak is super well known in the community his song 'Fairytale' is super popular, his second 'That's how you write a song' attempt not so much. I would even dare to say hated on. USA would likely end low just like the UK.

We used to do quite well, bafflingly as we would often send in the most entire rubbish. The UK is way out ahead in the rankings of second-place finishes, 16 I think, with the next closest being on something like 5.

For my money I'm not sure there's a single year that we've sent in the best song. Possibly 2002. Possibly. Hmm
