En 1988, Celine Dion representó a Suiza (no a su Canadá natal) y ganó por un solo punto sobre el Reino Unido. Este triunfo histórico lanzó su carrera global, siendo la última victoria suiza hasta décadas después.
Loreen’s 2012 victory redefined Eurovision. "Euphoria" received points from a record 40 countries, setting a new modern production standard with its minimalist staging and massive commercial success across global charts.
The 1956 debut marked a major milestone for the expansion of the EBU network, broadcasting via radio and TV simultaneously. Uniquely, each nation performed two songs. Behind the scenes, the jury system remained highly secretive, a sharp contrast to the transparent voting of modern contests.
ABBA's 1974 victory in Brighton with 'Waterloo' marked Sweden's first win and changed Eurovision forever. Performing in English—an unconventional choice then—they became global icons. In 2005, fans voted 'Waterloo' the best song in the contest's history.
